Bitcoin Losing Bullish Momentum This week, bitcoin bounced back above the $10,000 resistance against the US Dollar. BTC price even broke the $10,200 resistance and the 100 hourly simple moving average. Recently, there was a push towards the $10,500 resistance area, but the bulls failed to gain bullish momentum.

More importantly, there is a short term ascending channel forming with support near $10,350 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair. Bitcoin Price Below the channel support, the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent wave from the $9,711 low to $10,492 high is at $10,300 to provide support. On the upside, bitcoin price seems to be facing a tough resistance near $10,500. The bulls seem to be exhausted and there are chances of a short term correction below $10,350. The main support on the downside is near the $10,200 level, where the bulls are likely to take a stand. Any further downsides might lead the price towards the key $10,100 support area. It coincides with the 100 hourly SMA and the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent wave from the $9,711 low to $10,492 high.
