In the brief time period, it’s preferable that Bitcoin stay inside the horizontal space and 100-WMA earlier than transferring upwards to the $8,800 resistance.
If the value is in a position to do that, the development continues to be legitimate and the macrostructure with increased lows can be nonetheless in place.
For important bullish views, the bulls have to reclaim $8,800 and ideally $9,400 to have the ability to look stronger. If the value begins to “grind” upwards to $8,800 with none quantity, this could look extra like a bearish retest somewhat than a brand new development upwards.

Still bullish till $6K
The total bullish market construction continues to be in place, even when the market strikes again in direction of $6,000. That would offer the next low on increased timeframes and will point out an upwards development (macro view).
Would that imply that the market can’t see additional downwards actions brief time period?
That’s doable. However, the halving occasion is about 230 days away in May 2020, which traditionally gives a bullish rally across the occasion.
Aside from that, if the present value motion is offering a “beartrap” and the market must bounce shortly to generate the FOMO of buyers ready to purchase again in. If that doesn’t occur, some decrease ranges may very well be examined earlier than a brief time period reversal.
Notably, 75% of the time Bitcoin value drops earlier than the futures expiry date and this expiration date is Friday, Sept. 26. Adding to this, a brand new month-to-month candle is arising in a matter of days. Both of those occasions might present volatility and surprises like Bitcoin at all times does.
