Bitcoin Awaits a Strong Cross Above $9k; Retains 200-day MA Support

Bitcoin rises above the major resistance at $8,700 and $8,750 as it currently trades at $8,827.28 on Coinbase. BTC/USD seems to plan a comeback as we see a notable rising trend from the weekly bottom of $8,403.93, with a slight support from 50-day daily MA.

BTC price has already formed consistent higher highs after rising from the weekly support around $8,400 and has notably chased $8,800 resistance around the closing hour yesterday. Important to note that the coin even traded close to hitting above $9k beyond $8,900 after 5 days of sluggish knockout.

After a decent pull back and oscillation within the price range of $8,400 to $8,900, BTC price is likely to cross $9,000 followed by a noticeable spike above $10,000 soon.
