Technical Analysis: Bias Neutral

BTC/USD is struggling to extend gains, 'doji' formed on previous sessions candle suggests indecision.

The pair is trading in a sloping channel pattern and is consolidating break below 200-DMA.

Technical indicators are inconclusive. RSI is flat and well below 50 mark, while Stochs are showing a rollover from oversold levels.

Close below 5-DMA (8103) will see some weakness. Next major support lies at 7700 mark ahead of 7455 (channel base).

On the flipside, we see strong resistance at 8600 (nearly converged 200-DMA, 20-DMA and 21-EMA).

Decisive break above will see upside resumption. Major hurdles on the upside align at 9000, 9345 (55-EMA) and 9543 (50-DMA).
