Breaking: Bitcoin drops below $10,000, extends losses

  • BTC/USD extends the decline and refreshes the intraday low.
  • The next bearish aim is seen on approach to $9,500.

Bitcoin dropped below $10,000 handle and extended the decline towards $9,800. The downside momentum was gaining traction as the breakthrough below the critical level triggered stop-loss orders on short-term speculative positions and attracted new sellers to the market.

Looking technically, the initial resistance is created by the lower boundary of 15-min Bollinger Band on approach to $9,900. However, the ultimate barrier comes at $10,000. This psychological area is followed $10,300 (SMA50 and the middle line of Bollinger Band on 15-min chart).

On the downside, a sustainable move below $9,800 will open up the way towards the next bearish aim of $$9,500.
