Short term prediction: NEUTRAL

Bitcoin remains neutral and would need to close above $6,500 before we can consider a very short term bullish trend. 

Toward the upside, the first level of strong resistance lies at $6,175. The coin has struggled with this resistance over the past 4-days of trading and failed to close above here on each attempt. Above this, resistance lies at $6,542 (bearish .5 Fib Retracement) and $7,000.

If the buyers continue to drive even further above $7,000, resistance lies at $7,100, $7,174 (bearish .618 Fib Retracement), and $7,270.

On the other side, support is located at $5,786. This is followed with support at $5,600, $5,500, and $5,467 (.618 Fib Retracement).
