A quick update following yesterday’s analysis. As we mentioned here yesterday on the previous analysis – Bitcoin price’s recent correction down to $8200 was healthy (so far).
Added to the above, is the fact that Bitcoin had found support precisely on the lower trend-line of the ascending channel, marked on the following 4-hour’s chart.
Over the past 24 hours, we had seen Bitcoin gaining momentum to break above the mentioned $8400 – $8450 resistance, and quickly surging back to the $8600 support turned resistance price area.
As of writing these lines, Bitcoin is trading for hours around the critical resistance area. A break here and Bitcoin is likely to jump to the next target level of $8800 – $8900 which contains the significant 200-days moving average line (~$8915 as of writing these lines).

Further below is the weekly low at $8200, before reaching the $8000 area, which contains the 100-days moving average line (the white line).

– Trading volume: The volume is relatively low over the past days, the Chinese Holidays can explain this.
