Bitcoin is now firmly caught within a consolidation phase, with the cryptocurrency hovering around the support it established at $9,600 in the time following its recent capitulatory drop from $10,200.
It now appears that bulls and bears are at an impasse, with the cryptocurrency’s ongoing bout of sideways trading coming as the crypto finds itself caught between two critical levels.
A resolution to this sideways trading is likely imminent, however, as one prominent analyst is noting that the crypto is on the cusp of making a massive movement.
Bitcoin’s stability may be short-lived: expect a massive movementAt the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading down just under two percent at its current price of $9,630, which marks only a slight decline from daily highs of just over $9,700.
In the time following the massive drop seen this past Wednesday, the benchmark cryptocurrency has struggled to recapture its previous position within the five-figure price region, and it now appears that the resistance between $9,700 and $10,000 is quite strong.
The recent downtrend has also led Bitcoin to find itself caught within a descending channel, with a lower and upper boundary at $9,350 and $9,800 respectively.
Josh Rager, a prominent cryptocurrency analyst and trader, shared his thoughts on this channel in a recent tweet, noting that these two levels should be closely watched in the near-term.
“BTC: Key levels to watch for now – $9800 and $9350. Everything else in between is noise.”

BTC is about to make a big movement because of this technical formationAnother near-term factor that should be considered is the fact that Bitcoin is currently caught within a triangle formation that is close to resolving.
Satoshi Flipper – another well-respected crypto analyst – spoke about this triangle in a recent tweet, telling his followers that he anticipates a “strong move” in the near-term.
“This triangle (4 hr) is close to resolving. Expecting a strong move.”
