Bitcoin price prediction: BTC/USD bulls snatch back the initiative  – Bitcoin confluence

  • BTC/USD is recovering from the recent lows.
  • The critical resistance is seen on approach to $10,500.

Bitcoin (BTC) has bottomed out at $9,894 on Wednesday and recovered above $10,300 during early American hours.
