Bitcoin has bounced off $6,000 overnight and looks to move higher as it tries to recover. The 4-hour chart 34 EMA comes in just above $8,000, and rallies could pause there. The overall bias is bearish until BTCUSD can make a sustained move higher.
In mid to late January, BTCUSD sliced through the 89 SMA on the daily chart and moved quickly lower. Overnight, the price bounced off of $6,000 support. Even if a bounce on the daily chart happens, the 34 EMA, near $11,000 and falling, should cap rallies. Until the Bitcoin prices moves back above the 89 SMA, bear market pressure will still dominate.
On the 4-hour chart, the last closing candle was a long green candle with heavy volume. This came after the price bounced off of $6,000. If this rally holds, the price should rise toward its 34 EMA near $8,000 as a first stop. But until BTCUSD can close above its moving averages, and the 34 EMA moves above the 89 SMA, bearish risks are intact.
The short term relief rally is a welcome event for traders and investors, but the bear market is very likely not over.

i think its time to buy
Yes, I do think this rally has legs up toward $9,000, $10,000, but I expect there to be pauses and hesitation along the way. Time and price will tell.
