Bitcoin grapples with $10,000 — two scenarios for the week aheadBears got their pound of flesh this week when Bitcoin prices tumbled by $800 in an hour. The crash led to significant losses across most altcoins, too. Looking ahead to the coming days, Cointelegraph’s Keith Wareing says BTC is in the early stages of a descending channel that could see the digital asset retrace to $7,500 over the next two to three weeks unless $9,500 manages to serve as support. This could spark the resumption of a bull trend, with $10,300 as key resistance and the breakout resistance being above $11,085. Earlier this week, fund partner James Torado shared historical data that suggests BTC prices will continue climbing for another 19 months. His figures revealed that, in terms of volume-weighted average price, 2020 is Bitcoin’s best year ever.
