Bitcoin Price Prediction for September 23, 2019

Bitcoin is following a short-term bearish sentiment on the 4-hour time frame. The price action is shaping within a descending channel pattern for the past three weeks. Due to the recent price reduction, Bitcoin has now slump beneath the $10000; we can expect the next selling pressure at $9700, $9600 and $9400 support. Meanwhile, the price of BTC has sharply rebounded from the $9700 level a few minutes ago.

BTCUSD, 4H Price Chart – September 23, 2019

If the current 4-hour candle closes with a pin bar, the market may buy-back at $10000 resistance before rolling back. Further rise above the mentioned resistance may allow the market to retest $10100 -and $10200, where the channel’s upper boundary lies. Nevertheless, the BTC/USD pair is eroding a short-term bearish for now.

Conclusively

Breaking the long-holding $10000 support is a strong signal for a bearish move as Bitcoin will continue to fall if the price can close beneath the above support. Otherwise, BTC will continue to stay above $10000 price level.
