Bitcoin closed yesterday's candle on a good note but was rejected today at the 50 MA resistance. Currently, price has yet to break past the 50 MA and it's one indication that there are strong sellers at that area. It's still a long day for BTC as the 1D candle is not closed yet. If price is able to break 50 MA, we can see the nearest resistance around 9,700 - 9,800. Otherwise, a weak close could confirm potential lower high and push price down. Key resistance sits around 10,000, while key support remains at 8,600 - 8,500.
Global market cap is at $267B, while BTC's market cap is at $170B.
