Following the last breakdown on June 2, Bitcoin bulls have made two unsuccessful attempts at the $10,000 overhead resistance. The bulls were resisted at $9,800 and the price fell back to $9,400 low. Yesterday, the $9,800 resistance was retested and the market was on a downward move. This has been the market situation in May where buyers retest the overhead resistance on several occasions.

The upside range between $9,300 and $9,800 will continue as long as the price remains above $9,300. On the upside, if the bulls are successful above the overhead resistance, BTC will surpass the previous high of $10,400. Conversely, if the bears break below $9,400 support, there will be a bearish reaction. Bitcoin is likely to drop to $8,800 support. BTC is in a bullish momentum as it is above 60% range of the daily stochastic.
