BTC/USD Long-term Trend: Bullish
Bitcoin is on the downward move because of the resistance at $10,400. Yesterday, the market reached a high of $10,460 but the bulls could not sustain the upward move above the resistance at $10,360. In retrospect, the bulls have succeeded in breaking above $10,000 but have been unsuccessful to trade above the $11,000 since August 2019. Today, Bitcoin is trading above the $10,000; can it overcome the next major resistance at $10,360?

This will depend on the buying power of the coin. On the upside, a break above $10,360 will push BTC above $11,000. Bitcoin is currently fluctuating above $10,000. It is anticipated that the $10,000 support is likely to hold, for the resumption of an upward move. However, if the $10,000 support cracks, BTC will drop to $9,800.
