$10K still far away ahead, bitcoin failed to breakout the resistance level recently, more likely the price will stay at this level $7xxx until the end of the year, 5 days left. The bitcoin market really volatile right now, the price constantly changing $100-$500 within minutes, one minute ago it was $7600 and the next minute it's $7200.
Yes, you are right. We need to break every higher price so then we can hit $10k soon, but I believe that bitcoin price can go to that price in the future. It seems we need to satisfy to see bitcoin price now at a current price, and it still waiting for a good time to increase higher. Since yesterday, the bitcoin price doesn't go to a higher price level or lower price, and I think right now, we see a sideways market, so we need to be careful because we don't know what will happen later. If you believe that the price can increase or decrease a few hours later, you need to prepare to decide on what you need to do so you don't be late to do something.
