Despite relatively high volatility over the past 24 hours, Bitcoin continues to remain anchored in the mid-$9,000s. On a slightly longer time scale, it appears that the alpha-crypto has been consolidating sideways in a roughly $1,500 range since early May 2020.

At $9,411 as of this writing, the price is facing stiff resistance from both the 50 and 200-period moving averages (MA). However, going by the latest assessment of our in-house technical analyst, Valdrin, a breakout above $9,460, could signal the beginning of a new upward trend.

More on that and other big stories from the past 24 hours in this new edition of BeInCrypto’s Cryptocurrency News Roundup.

The decline continued until $9,236, where the price bounced on the 0.5 Fibonacci level, creating a thrusting candlestick pattern with above-average volume.

The Bitcoin price is trading inside a descending wedge. The price is following a short-term descending resistance line. A breakout could lead to a test of the waters above $10,000 again.
