Since Bitcoin reached an all-time high, back in December 2017, the volume has been steadily decreasing along with the price. During the past 9 months Bitcoin has dropped from USD 20,000, down to USD 6,000, losing 70% to the USD.
During the past 8 months, BTC/USD has approached 6k support level multiple times, although every attempt to break below has failed so far. On June 18, price went below 6k, where it reached $5,755 and rejected the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement level, along with the long term uptrend trendline. But, the closing price remained above the 6k psychological support suggesting the validity of the long term uptrend.
While Bitcoin consolidation phase continues, it is important to watch key psychological support and resistance level.
Support: USD 6,000
Resistance: USD 10,000
Bitcoin is trading under the very low volume and low volatility, while price is trapped between 6k and 10k. In order for the price to establish a medium-term trend, price has to break and close above the resistance or below the support, accompanied with the heavy trading volume.
Weekly break and close below 6k could push price down to USD 5k, or even USD 3k area. But break and close above the 10k level could result in a very positive price action for Bitcoin, potentially sending it up towards USD 18-20k resistance, or even to the new all-time high.
To summarize, RSI oscillator broke above the downtrend trendline, 78.6% Fibonacci support and long-term uptrend trendline were rejected. Such price action does not imply further downside correction, but rather uptrend continuation, at least while the 6k support is holding.
