BTC/USD Long-term Trend: Bullish

For the past three days, the bulls have been compelled to a stand still below the $9,000 resistance. Bitcoin is in a sideways move below the resistance for a few days since the upward move has been put on hold. Bitcoin has taken a breather as the price continues its consolidation. After the consolidation, price will follow the direction of the market.

Assuming the bulls breaks the resistance above $8,800; the next resistance will be $9,500. Likewise, if the bears push the price downward, the market may drop to the low of $8,200 or $8,000. Meanwhile, the coin is still consolidating below $9000.

4-hour Chart Indicators Reading
The Relative Strength Index period 14 level 60 indicates that the market is above the centerline 50. It means that Bitcoin will rise. The 21-day SMA and the 50-day SMA are sloping upward indicating the upward move.
