After plummeting below $8,000 overnight, Bitcoin\u2019s bulls were able to propel the crypto slightly higher, showing signs that bulls are not ready to let the cryptocurrency drop lower in the near-term, which could mean that bulls will garner greater strength in the near-term that could help propel BTC higher.<\/p>\n
Analysts are noting that Bitcoin likely has further room to run in the near-term, but it is important to note that a strong resistance level that exists just slightly above Bitcoin\u2019s current price could halt this rally and force BTC to extend its recent downtrend.<\/p>\n
At the time of writing, Bitcoin<\/a> is trading up just under 1% at its current price<\/a> of $8,090, which marks a climb from its recent lows of $7,900 that were set yesterday when the crypto lost the support it had previously built at $8,000.<\/p>\n Today\u2019s bounce pales in comparison to even that seen earlier this week when Bitcoin ran to highs of just below $9,000 before it found significant resistance that sent it reeling lower, and the lower highs that BTC has been setting in the time since this fleeting rally may point to an underlying weakness amongst the cryptocurrency\u2019s bulls.<\/p>\n Bitcoin has established the upper-$8,000 region as support over the past couple of weeks, which was previously a resistance level that was formed when BTC was trapped beneath this level overnight.<\/p>\n Big Chonis, a popular cryptocurrency analyst on Twitter, spoke about this in a recent tweet, saying:<\/p>\n \u201c$BTC – previous resistance now acting as support…#bitcoin,\u201d he said while pointing to the below chart.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n $BTC<\/a> – previous resistance now acting as support…#bitcoin<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/ddeoVoLdyQ<\/a><\/p>\n — BIG Chonis (@BigChonis) October 17, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
