The uptrend of Bitcoin continued after a retreat towards the $8,500 area with a daily close. At the moment, the price is pushing higher, however, being restrained by the dynamic support level of 20 EMA.
Bitcoin is currently trading at $8,700, up significantly from the daily lows of just above $8,400 that were set last night. Analysts say that the range between $8,200 and $8,400 is a key support zone that BTC must not cross in order for its upward momentum to remain.
After two months of a relieving rally, BTC prices are pulling back. It's nothing new. Extended gains, rallies and cool offs are typical in healthy markets, and Bitcoin is no exception. Besides, there is nothing to worry about considering significant developments and shifting sentiment in the last few years. Moreover, changing political stands could thrust Bitcoin into the scene. Gradually, BTC will be more than a medium of exchange but a settlement layer and a store of value. By the end of the year, BTC is anticipated to soar above $20,000, to prices unseen before.
On the contrary, one strong indicator that altcoins are about to make a revival is the fall in Bitcoin market dominance. Today it has fallen back to 55.3 percent, its lowest level since the beginning of the month. BTC dominance is still up compared to earlier this year but the slow decline could be a sign of altcoin resurgence.
As for the current scenario, BTC continues its uptrend aiming the $9,000 area again. A breakout above this level with a daily close is to lead the price higher towards the $10,000 psychological level. As the price remains above $8,000 with a daily close, the bullish bias is expected to remain.
