Bitcoin Price AnalysisIn the past two days, there was a steady decline in bitcoin price from well above $10,500 against the US Dollar. The BTC/USD pair traded below the $10,200 and $10,000 support levels to enter a bearish zone. Moreover, there was a break below the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $9,248 low to $11,200 swing high. It opened the doors for more losses below the $10,000 support.
More importantly, the price settled below the $10,000 support and the 100 hourly simple moving average. At the outset, the price is trading below the $9,800 support.
