BTC/USD Long-term Trend: Bullish
On January 19, the bulls tested the $9,200 resistance level and were resisted. The coin fell to a low of $8,400. The bulls could not sustain hold above the higher price level. Later it pulled back to $8,600 and resumed a range-bound movement. The range-bound movement is ongoing as the price movement is insignificant.

If the price falls to a low of $8,200, it may form strong support. On the upside, a bounce from such strong support will push the coin to the high of $9.500 or $10,300 price level. On the downside, if the bears sink the coin and it reaches the low of $7,800, BTC is likely to resume the downtrend.
