BTCUSD Medium-term Trend: Ranging

Resistance: $8,500, $8,450, $8,400

Support: $8,200, $8,250, $8,300   

On May 14, the BTCUSD pair fell at the support level of $8,500; and the asset corrected itself by trading above it. Yesterday, May 16, the Bitcoin price fell again below the $8,500 support level. It was assumed that if the downtrend continued, the asset might find support at $8,000. Today, Bitcoin price is trading at $ 8,336.49 at the time of writing. However, the price found support below the $8,500 price mark.

The BTCUSD pair is now range-bound between the support level at $8,000 and the resistance level at $9,000. The asset price was trading in this zone since May 11. Each time the price falls below the $8,500 level, it will immediately trade back above it. However, for the past three days, the price of the asset has been stable in this region.

Nevertheless, if the asset price breaks the support level at $8,000, Bitcoin will fall to either $7000 or $6,685. However, if the bulls are in control of the price, there is a tendency for the price to return above the $8,500 level and reach other highs.
