On June 10, Bitcoin corrected its upside trend and traded in a sideways move creating a set of lower highs with higher lows. On June 28, the cryptocurrency climbed to the current trading zone $9,080 - $10,507 then failed on multiple occasions to slip to the lower zone. On Thursday the price closed below the 50-day moving average and generated a bearish signal.
A close above the 50-day average could cause a rally towards the high end of the zone, and any further close above that level may embolden bulls to push the market towards $11,093.
On the flip-side, a close below the low end of the current trading zone signals that BTC/USD could fall towards $7,824, and a further close below that level may encourage bears to press the market even lower towards $6,540.

On Thursday, Bitcoin traded below the uptrend line originated from the July 5 low at $8,927 and signaled bear’s attempt to control the price action. Hence, a break below the uptrend line originated from the June 27 low at $8,834 would generate a bearish signal, while a break above the downtrend line originated from the June 10 high at $10,002 increases the likelihood of testing the high end of the current trading zone discussed on the daily chart.
Thus, a break below $8,642 could send BTC/USD towards $8,220 while any break above $9,867 may trigger a rally towards $10,258.that said, the weekly support and resistance levels underscored on the four-hour chart should be kept in focus.
