BTC/USD Long-term Trend: Ranging
Bitcoin (BTC) has continued to consolidate after two unsuccessful attempts at the $10,400 resistance. The coin is fluctuating between $9,400 and $10,250. After the last breakdown, BTC reached a low of $9,400 and pulled back. The bulls have continued their upward move after the pullback. Luckily, the bulls have pushed the price above $9,800 resistance.

It is anticipated that the next target price is the $10,250 resistance. However, this resistance level has been tested on two occasions in February without breaking it. This current move will be the third attempt. Bitcoin will rally above $11,000 if the bulls are successful in their third attempt.

Daily Chart Indicators Reading:
Bitcoin is currently trading below a 50% range of the daily stochastic. However, the stochastic bands are making a U-turn upward. This indicates that the previous bullish trend has been exhausted. The pair is currently in a bullish momentum. The bulls are attempting to break above support line of the ascending channel. The upward movement will be in a proper perspective if the bulls are successful.

BTC/USD Medium-term Trend: Bearish
On the 4- hour chart, the upward move terminates below the $10,000 resistance. In the previous upward move, the coin was repelled at the $10,200 and $10,250 resistance. The bears are gradually closing down the support level. It is not likely if the bulls will push above $10000 price level.

4-hour Chart Indicators Reading

General Outlook for Bitcoin (BTC)
Bitcoin is making an upward move and it is approaching the $10,000 resistance. The bears will sink the price again to the low of $9, 000 if the bulls fail to break above $10,250 resistance. Eventually, if the $9,000 support is broken, the downtrend will resume.
