Technical Indicators
Looking at the 30-min, 4-hour, and daily BTC/USD charts there is clearly some significant consolidation taking place and the continued wedge formation.

This indicates the path to the upside will have less resistance and reinforces the short-term bullish sentiment.
BTC/USD markets hit some resistance and the price is hovering just above the $9,050-9,150 range at 12:30 pm EDT.
After touching the high of $9,892 earlier this morning (EDT), the MACd has been heading southbound, but still hovers in a relatively safer zone. RSI and Stochastic oscillators (below 50.00) are showing oversold conditions at the time of publication, but it looks like a temporary downturn.

Another pit stop will be around $10,600 for a short period of time. On the back side, there’s a lot of support showing for areas within the $9,100 through 8,600 zones.
