- Bitcoin (BTC) returns to the area below $9,000 after unsuccessful recovery attempt.
- BTC/USD may spend a few hours before halving in a range.
Bitcoin price stays below $9,000 after a failed attempt to clear this pivotal barrier. The first digital coin hit the intraday high at $9,176 before fresh selling interest pushed the price towards $8,800.
The American session is likely to bring more volatility as Bitcoin's halving is a few hours away. Other major cryptocurrencies such as Ripple and Ethereum are directionless amid jittery market sentiments.
The intraday chart shows the RSI staying flat below 70 (overbought zone). It means that the coin may stay range-bound in the nearest future.
