Meanwhile, Bitcoin’s price continues to trade below the $10,000 mark, but the crypto asset remains in a bullish trend as investors have been buying into it each time it drops below $9,500. According to Lookintobitoin creator,  Philip Swift:

“The recent confluence of the 200 days moving average and the 128 days MA creates an area of important support for the price. During the 2016/17 bull market, the 128 MA frequently acted as the key support for the price. Again, two weeks ago, price bounced right off it and ran back towards the $10,000 area.”
