Bitcoin (BTC/USD) remained weak early in today’s Asian session as the pair continued to trade below the 10500 level following significant selling pressure that emerged around the 10638.34 area during yesterday’s Asian session, just below the 10647.72 area that represents the 50% retracement of the recent appreciation from 7427 to 13868.44. That resistance emerged after traders were unable to push the pair back above the 10826.66 area in a pullback higher last week, a level that represents the 61.8% retracement of the recent appreciation from 8940.14 to 13878.67. BTC/USD later encountered additional technical resistance just below the 10540.49 area in a pullback lower, driving the pair to its weakest print since late July. Stops were recently elected below the 11120, 11004.10, 10961.41, 10647.72, 10546.15, and 10450.26 areas during the depreciation from recent multi-week highs. The pair traded as low as the 9895.22 area during last week’s low. BTC/USD is now at risk of depreciating further and testing levels including 9816.32, 9772.95, 9681.42, 9532.39, and 9301.26 levels.
