Bitcoin (BTC) Ranges as the Market Takes a Breathe

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

BTC/USD Long-term Trend: Bullish
After February 11 breakouts, Bitcoin has been characterized by small body candlesticks like Doji and spinning tops. These candlesticks describe the indecision between the buyers and sellers concerning the direction of the market. The price is now fluctuating in a tight range between $10,200 and $10,400. This is the fourth day of indecision between the bulls and the bears.

Can we expect the bulls to break the next major resistance at $10,360? Then continue with the upward move. Or allow the bears to erase the bullish gains and take us back to the bear market? Definitely, in a matter of days, the $10,200 support or $10, 400 resistance will be broken to know the direction of Bitcoin. Meanwhile, Bitcoin is in consolidation above $10,200 support.

Daily Chart Indicators Reading:
Bitcoin has consistently remained to trade in the overbought region of the daily stochastic since on January 29. In the overbought region, the price is sloping between 95% and 80% range.
