BTCUSD – Daily Chart

BTC/USD has recovered to over $5,400, having gained nearly 7.79% since the start of the day. In addition to the upside move, the coin is still moving within a short-term bearish trend amid low volatility. Bitcoin (BTC), at the time of penning down this piece, was trading at $5,429.93, after having a price accumulation since the start of the trading day today.

Nonetheless, the Bitcoin price has already experienced a clumsy fall below $5,000 yesterday for the second time in a period of 7 days. Undoubtedly, the coin has recovered from the intraday fall as it rises above $5,000 again, and with this, the dramatic support for the BTC lies at $4,000. More support levels at $3,800, $3,600 and $3,400 may be visited.

However, short term analysis shows that Bitcoin price has a bullish bias because the RSI (14) is about to recover from the oversold zone. There is a possibility of a ranging trend taking over if an attempt to rise to $6,000 falls under $5,500. On the upside, a breakout from the channel could result in gains towards $6,000 and this may depend on the magnitude of the technical breakout, positive sentimental change, and increased volume.

Meanwhile, the resistance levels to watch for are $7,000, $7,200 and $7,400 respectively.
