Bitcoin is back in the spotlight of the cryptocurrency market after taking a nearly 10% dum. The sudden bearish impulse saw the asset’s price drop from a high of $9,970 to a low of $9,050.<\/p>\r\n
Alongside the price slump, over $80 million worth of long and short BTC positions were liquidated<\/a> on BitMEX alone.<\/p>\r\n From a technical perspective, the recent price action seems to be part of an ascending triangle<\/a> that has been developing since late April on BTC\u2019s 1day chart. Now that the flagship cryptocurrency plunged to the hypothenuse of the triangle, it is reasonable to expect a move back to the horizontal resistance that lies around $10,000.<\/p>\r\n A further increase in demand around this price point may have the strength to push<\/a> Bitcoin towards the 127% Fibonacci retracement levels at $12,400.<\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n Nonetheless, there is a significant resistance barrier ahead of the pioneer cryptocurrency that may have the ability to prevent it from advancing further.<\/p>\r\n The price history of the past two months suggests that Bitcoin is poised to bounce off support and march towards the $10,000 resistance level once again. However, IntoTheBlock\u2019s \u201cIn\/Out of the Money Around Price\u201d (IOMAP) model reveals that such a bullish impulse would be challenging to achieve.<\/p>\r\n Based on this on-chain metric, there is a massive supply barrier that sits between $9,460 and $9,730, which may reject any upside pressure. Here, the IOMAP cohorts show that over 2 million addresses bought nearly 1.35 million BTC.<\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n On the flip side, IntoTheBlock maintains<\/a> that if the bears were to step in, the $9,300 hurdle could serve as a significant support zone.<\/p>\r\n \u201cThe IOMAP analysis reveals that the next level support level is between $9,172 to $9,442, where almost 805 thousand addresses bought 509,000 BTC,\u201d said the machine learning and statistical modeling firm.<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n Even though resistance seems stronger than support based on the IOMAP cohorts, the number of addresses with millions of dollars in Bitcoin, colloquially known as \u201cwhales,\u201d is steadily rising.<\/p>\r\nStrong Resistance Ahead<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n
