Bitcoin (BTC) Losing $9,300 Support Will Open the Doors to Sub $9K

In brief: 

• Bitcoin’s journey above $10,000 has been hammered down three times.
• On a macro level, this forms a classic Triple top that could lead to lower levels as cautioned by Mr. John Bollinger.
• BTC losing $9,300 will probably open the doors to lower levels below $9,000.

The month of June has seen Bitcoin attempt to break and hold the psychological price level of $10,000 without success. The King of Crypto has been ranging between $9,800 and $9,300 since its massive dip

from $10,400 on the 2nd of June. On the latter date, Bitcoin experienced a classic Bart Simpson pattern that dipped as far down as $8,600 on Bitmex and $9,300 on Binance.

$9,300 Needs to Hold for Bitcoin

It is with the latter price level of $9,300 that Bitcoin has its strongest support above $9,000. Losing $9,300 will most likely result in BTC testing the less strong support levels at $9,150 and $9,050. To note is that Bitcoin has attempted to break the $10,000 price level three times since the Coronavirus crash of mid-March. Such a move is often referred to as a Tripple top and foreshadows a trend reversal to the downside.
