Yesterday, January 30, the price of Bitcoin (BTC) was trading in a bullish trend zone. After the bulls broke above the $9,000 resistance on January 28, Bitcoin price has been consolidating mostly inside the range of $9300 – $9400.

The price of Bitcoin retraced from levels above $9,500 and $9,400 and dropped slightly below $9,200. At the time of writing this Bitcoin price analysis, the coin is changing hands at the $,9,240 level.

On the upside, if more buyers emerge, the crypto’s price will rise and retest the $9,400 and $9,500 levels. A break above the $9,500 level could see the price surge towards $10,000.
