Analysts now expect traders to target $ 10,500, and price estimates ranging from $ 11,000, $ 14,000, and even $ 16,000 have been thrown above this level.

While this is exciting for bulls, it’s important to note that Bitcoin’s price has recovered 12.76% since it rose from $ 9,142 on July 21 and the price has yet to retest the underlying support around $ 9,450.

There is also a CME gap at $ 9,615 that has not yet been filled. Given the importance traders attach to CME gaps, any pullback below $ 9,800 increases the probability that the gap will be filled.

The last two moves above $ 10,000 occurred in high-volume overvoltages, which means traders should be on the lookout for buy and sell volume within 1 and 4 hours to determine if the current move can keep the momentum going. upward.
