At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $10,135 after rising 3.41% on the day. The trend remains bullish while volatility is high.

Last year, after Bitcoin came close to touching the $13,000 price mark, there was a period between September and October when bitcoin traded between $8,000 and $10,000.

If the resistance at $10,100 is not cleared, Bitcoin is likely to retreat towards $10,000 in order to balance, create more demand and launch another shot upwards.

In case of a breakout, then the next level of resistance is $10,550, before the $10,900 – $11,000 price level. Further above lie $11,400 and $11,600 resistance levels.

While the bitcoin price predictions may range all over the place for 2020, many are watching for $15,000 range as the next level of interest if bitcoin can get its wings back.

Regardless of the consensus, the healthy and bullish move over $10,000 is expected to pave the way for the halving, and what will be a huge year for Bitcoin community.
