Bitcoin looks stable in the short-term, bearish in the long

October 25, the Bitcoin price chart looked to have completed an inverted bart pattern, one that had started to form after the price dropped toward the end of last month. Since breaching up past the $8360 line a few days ago, Bitcoin looks to be stabilizing for above $9000.

Currently valued at $9160, Bitcoin’s market capitalization was recorded to be over $165 billion and the coin suffered a decline of 0.8% over the past day. The trade volume was almost $26.3 billion in the 24-hours.
