On May 20, Bitcoin made a gradual downward move after buyers have consistently failed to breach the $10,000 overhead resistance. At first, BTC hovered above $9,700 for two days before encountering a bearish reaction. The bulls could not retest the resistance level, rather selling pressure plunged the king coin to $9,400 low.
At its initial fall, the market corrected upward but was repelled at $9,600 resistance. In its second fall, BTC slumped to $8,815 low. The bears succeeded by pushing the bulls out of the upside range between $9,300 and $10,000. This upside range is where the bulls fluctuate and retest the $10,000 resistance. Bitcoin failed to recover above $9,300 as the market continues its downward move.
