BTC 4-hour chart

From market indicators, the Bollinger band converges with respect to a consolidation zone of $34,788.08 as a resistance and $30,826.07 as a support. The 9-day EMA and the 20-day SMA prevented the bulls to ride to the upside. This indicates the bears have some level of control on the market. The RSI is also moving on the neutral territory due to the consolidation of Bitcoin.

For the day ahead, BTC will need to break above the 9-day EMA and revisit the horizontal resistance of $34,788.08. If the bulls succeed to break above this price level, uptrend for the market will resume and traders can leverage on the anticipated broken resistance to long their position.

On the contrary, if the bear pressure force BTC price to break the support of $30,826.07, BTC price could dip to next support of $26435.04 in the days ahead.
