Bitcoin must reportedly reclaim $9,400 as soon as possible in order to change the bearish course, says Cointelegraph Markets analyst filbfilb.
Just recently, the trader warned that the situation facing Bitcoin was fast becoming make or break.
He said that BTC is nearing the end of the compression phase.

The online publication mentioned above also notes that the attention focused on BTC/USD being stuck in a compression cycle which has lasted for multiple weeks.
“Compression refers to a pattern of higher lows and lower highs, with a trading corridor narrowing before a breakout. For Bitcoin, the danger lies in a potential climax occurring in bearish territory as denoted by the Bollinger Bands volatility indicator,” according to the same online publication.
They also make sure to remind readers that the Bollinger Bands consist of an upper and lower band surrounding a middle one.
Another important thing worth mentioning is the fact that they have historically captured both bullish and bearish moves by Bitcoin.
