- BTC/USD broke above $3,900 only to bump into $4,000
- The range has changed to $3,900-$4,000.
Bitcoin (BTC) slid to $3,939 low during Asian hours; however the sell-off proved to be temporary as the coin has recovered to $3,960 by the time of writing. BTC/USD managed to break free from a narrow range of the previous week, but $4,000 resistance remains unconquered as of yet.
A breakthrough above $3,900 set the ball rolling and took the price as high as $4,038 on Saturday. However, the momentum petered out quickly as the market needs new triggers to push the price above this barrier.
