Key Resistance Zones: $10,000, $11,000, $12,000
Key Support Zones: $7, 000, $6, 000, $5,000

BTC/USD Long-term Trend: Bullish
Today, the bulls broke above the target price of $10,360 and reached a high of $10460. Unfortunately, Bitcoin is retracing after being resisted at $10,400. On the downside, if price retraces to the $10,000 support and holds, the market will tend to move up again.

Alternatively, if the price breaks below the $10,000 support, Bitcoin may likely drop to the low of $9,800. Presently, the upward move is ongoing and if price finds support above $10,000, the bulls will break the resistance at $10,400 and rally above $11,000. The momentum will extend to $11,500 and other minor resistance.
