Short-Term Forecast
First Scenario: we expect that in the next few hours, the pair should find temporary resistance at the ranges of 8100-USD 8200.If these are breached to the northwards, then the next target would be USD 8350.
Second scenario: The RSI is between the levels of 40 and 60 seemingly signifying that the bulls may lack the momentum to drive the price past the 8100 levels. If this is the case, then support should be placed at USD 8000 as we prepare for a range bound market. “I think Bitcoin has the potential to keep its current value for a short time and I expect it to come back up again in the coming months,” said Hussain Abu Aziz, CEO of AZB.
