Within the last hour Bitcoin (BTC) price rose to $10,180 on BitMEX before quickly reversing to $9,600. The quick rejection means that for the third time in 30 days Bitcoin price has rejected at the $10,000 resistance level.
Three factors that may have contributed to the volatility are: the Federal Reserve’s Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting, the liquidation of $14 million worth of short contracts, and the continued resilience of the multi-year resistance area from $10,000-$10,500.
