For instance, On Tuesday, Bitcoin bulls pushed the price far above $9,500 but they hit a thick wall at $9,600. A reversal ensued, sending Bitcoin back to $9,250 support.

BTC/USD 4-hour chart
From a technical perspective, Bitcoin is generally dealing with a bearish biased trend. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is changing direction downwards, suggesting that declines are likely to continue towards $9,250 (recent support). On the other hand, the MACD shows that buying pressure is not absent per se. For this reason, Bitcoin has a fighting chance to contain losses above $9,400.
Glancing up, the formation of a falling wedge pattern presents a glimmer of hope to the investors that recovery will come eventually. If a break above the wedge comes into the picture and Bitcoin is treated to proper volume, we could see a smooth ride above $9,600 as well as the levels heading to $10,000. In the meantime, sustaining the price above $9,400 is the bulls’ priority.
