BTC/USD daily chart
Even with the significant price surge on July 6, Bitcoin remains quite flat at $9,262 and is still facing the crucial $10,000 resistance level. Right now, Bitcoin only cares about two levels, $9,000 as support, and $10,000 as the resistance. Buyers and sellers have managed to push Bitcoin above $10K before and below $9K but never with enough continuation.
