Bitcoin Price Breakout Above $10k Ahead Of Halving

The price of bitcoin has been particularly unstable for the past days. It would seem as though market sentiments are yet to decide which side to back as the forthcoming halving sets swinging price emotions.

After a short-term bull run on Monday which escorted the bulls towards the resistance at $9.5k area, bear markets took turns and sent prices crashing to the $8.4k area in a matter of hours. 

However, in the tug-of-war struggles between market buyers and sellers, the price of bitcoin seemed to claim upward momentum yesterday, when price climbed above the resistance at $9k and has since then been moving to test the next resistance at $9.5k.

Halving In Just Four Days!

As bitcoin block rewards halving draws near, a pre-halving comeback is highly probable. Investors entering the market for a post-halving recovery could easily push Bitcoin price above the $9,500 region.

 However, if this comes to play, BTC/USD has the potential to touch $10,000 by the end of this weekend.

BTC Technical Analysis

Bitcoin price is teetering at $9,334 at the time of writing. Its immediate upside is supported by the short term accelerated trendline (broken line). The Relative Strength Index (RSI) has made it back into the overbought region (above 70).
