Bitcoin Price Analysis: BTC/USD hovers below $9,000 as the market hits a pause button after volatile pre-halving sessions  – Confluence Detector

  • BTC/USD recovery capped by 1-hour SMA100.
  • The local support is created by 38.2% Fibo retracement monthly.

Bitcoin price has gained 2% on a day-to-day basis and stayed unchanged since the start of Wednesday. The first digital coin recovered from the intraday low of $8,806 to trade at $8,920 at the time of writing. The recovery is capped by 1-hour SMA100. This barrier prevents BTC from moving towards $9 000. Once it is cleared, the recovery may be extended towards $9,200 guarded by 1-hour SMA200.

While the short-term momentum remains bearish, the RSI on the intraday charts has reversed to the downside, which means, the coin may stay range-bound in the nearest future.
