Bitcoin Steady But Fragile: Will The Volatile Weekend Plunge BTC Price To $8,500?

Since our previous price analysis and over the past three days, Bitcoin was trading in the tight range of $9600 from below to $10,200. The top of that level is exactly where lies the 50-days moving average line (marked purple on the following daily chart).

Over those days, there was not much volume surrounding the BTC trading, however, since reaching the 2019 high at $13,880 Bitcoin is showing bearishness, creating lower lows. The recent test of $11,000 a week ago had failed and got rejected. Until getting back, breaking up the last, and forming a lower high – it will be hard seeing Bitcoin showing bullishness.

Another evidence to the bearishness is the RSI, which is showing weakness under the crucial 50 level (daily chart) at the bearish territory with much room to go down.

Bitcoin is getting to the weekend steady and calm, however, as mentioned above, things can get change very quickly. As we notice from before, Bitcoin loves creating sharp moves during weekends.
