1H chart
The previous hourly candle carried a long upper shadow. That along side RSI’s bearish divergence is warning of ebbing bullish momentum and hinting a turn lower may be ahead.
The cryptocurrency looks set to test the double top support at $8,929. A violation there will likely accelerate the pullback and shift the focus to support at $8,793 and $8,726, which is the 50-hour average.
A strong bounce from there could yield a re-test of $9,000, above which bulls may target $9,188.
