by the way you should never look at bitcoin price versus Tether. always look at it in USD or any other real fiat currencies (EUR, JPY, CNY,...). your chart is using Tether which is a shady and high risk altcoin.
It's somehow very close to USD since USDT is wag pegged to USDT. I believe + or - 0.5% to 1% difference which is negligible when analysing a chart with a Daily Time frame and so on. I agree with you that BTC is still in the indecision stage which is ranging from 9k to 10k but if we can see the trading volume, the buying power is decreasing overtime and its a bad sign that it might broke the support soon which I hope that I'm wrong.
