- Bitcoin continues to move in the narrow price range between $9,500 and $10,000 and could prepare for a breakout, according to analysts.
- The Altcoin market around ETH and XRP is following Bitcoin and is also moving sideway.
Bitcoin has been “trapped” in the $9,500 to $10,000 price range for several days, so BTC has not yet managed to break through the important $10,000 mark. In the last 24 hours, the Bitcoin price has risen 1.69% to a price of $9,787.60. The market capitalization has increased from $176 billion to $179 billion.
Bitcoin trader and analyst Josh Rager describes that Bitcoin is at an important point and the bulls must now take the reins. In a chart shared with his community, he describes that Bitcoin must break through the resistance along the $10,000 USD line in order for BTC to continue its bullish performance of the past days and weeks.
