Technical Analysis: Bias turning neutral

BTC/USD has edged lower from session highs at 9939, hovers around daily cloud.

The pair was trading at 9637 at 04:30 GMT, up 0.86% on the day after closing 3.12% higher in the previous session.

Price action has been capped at channel top resistance at 9940, break above could propel the pair higher.

GMMA indicators shows shift in near-term trend to bullish. However, major trend, as indicated by longer-term moving averages is still bearish.

That said, we see signs of exhaustion. Stochs and RSI are showing a slight turn near oversold levels.

'Death Cross' formation (bearish 50-DMA crossover on 200-DMA) on the daily charts weighs.

Price action is outside the upper Bollinger band and is struggling to hold break above cloud.

Immediate support lies at 23.6% Fib at 9156. Retrace below 200-DMA to see bearish resumption.
