Bitcoin price chart analysis: Stabilization above $10,000 required
12:31, 18 May 2020
Bitcoin bounced sharply from the $8,100 level last week, as dip-buyers remained in control of the number one cryptocurrency.
Bitcoin price chart analysis shows that bulls need to anchor the price above the $10,000 level to encourage the next strong rally.
Bitcoin medium-term price trend
Bitcoin staged a strong rally after the much-anticipated halving event finished last week, with dip-buyers showing crypto traders that they remain in control of the short and medium-term.
The recent rally towards the $10,000 level also closed a notable price gap on the CME futures chart that was created during the May 9 flash crash.
Bitcoin price technical analysis shows that bulls need to anchor the price above the $10,000 level to encourage the next major rally towards the $11,000 level.
The daily time shows that if the BTC/USD pair can break above the current monthly high then bulls may start to attack towards the $10,500 and $11,000 resistance zones.
If bulls can move price above the $10,500 level then the upside momentum could increase significantly, and force a breakout rally towards the $11,000 level, and possibly the $11,600 level.
