After such a strong break of $10,000 and surge to above $12,000<\/a>, Bitcoin investors are shocked to be back again at the key level rather than onward to more new highs. But with $10,000 acting as such strong resistance for so long, the market may be retesting this critical zone to confirm it as support.<\/p>\n At the same time, Bitcoin is retesting downtrend resistance as support and was rejected from a multi-year trend line, now acting as resistance. With the cryptocurrency at such a crossroads, what does passing beyond any of the clear lines drawn in the sand mean for the trend ahead?<\/p>\n Support and resistance<\/a> levels can be horizontal, or diagonal. Oddly enough, price action reaching pivotal horizontal zones also tend to do so when a trend line acts as a target.<\/p>\n For one reason or another, orders cluster in these areas. Rounded numbers like $10,000 can also act as psychological resistance<\/a>, just due to its importance over the last several years of price action.<\/p>\n $10,000 is also 50% of the cryptocurrency’s peak price from 2017. Significant support and resistance lies at this important Fibonacci level<\/a>, mathematically.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n It coincidentally lines up perfectly with former downtrend resistance once acting as the top of Bitcoin’s multi-year symmetrical triangle that it has since broken out of. A fall to confirm this line, is extremely bullish, but only if it holds.<\/p>\n Related Reading | Bitcoin Collapse Retests Key Weekly Level Never Lost During Last Bull Run<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n However, coinciding with this bullish retest of downtrend resistance turned support, could have been a now-confirmed bearish retest of a multi-year trend line.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Zooming out on weekly timeframes, the chart above shows Bitcoin price losing a five-year-long support trend line around Black Thursday.<\/p>\n As bullish as the rest of 2020’s price action may seem<\/a>, could it have been nothing but a bearish retest of this critical trend line, supporting the entire last bull run, until now?<\/p>\n It is difficult to say, and trend lines are highly subjective and clearly meant to be broken. It is for this very reason why technical analysis is a never-ending practice with no definitive results.<\/p>\n Related Reading | Even Bitcoin Fundamentals Are Hinting At a Significant Correction Ahead<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Technical indicators on multiple timeframes are mixed. Monthly charts show Bitcoin barely entering a bull market, while weekly shows an ongoing bull run that is overheated and in need of a cooldown<\/a>. Daily timeframes, however, show a market shaken by a violent over $2,000 drop in less than 48 hours.<\/p>\n Bitcoin fundamentals are weaker<\/a> than they have been recently, but a sharp recovery in price could set things straight just as fast.<\/p>\n Clearly, Bitcoin is at a crossroads, and its chart reflects this. Adding both bullish and bearish trendlines together shows at what a crossroads the asset truly is at.<\/p>\n <\/p>\nBitcoin Bullish Retest Searches For Triangle Support At $10,000<\/h2>\n
