Bitcoin is facing temporary bullish exhaustion, according to Wednesday's "Doji" candle.
The case for a notable pullback will strengthen if prices break below Wednesday's low of $8,555.
A move above the hourly chart resistance at $8,705 would allow a re-test of Wednesday's high near $8,900.
The bitcoin market is telling a tale of bullish exhaustion with indecisive price action following a rise to the highest point since November.
Prices rose from lows near $8,550 seen during the Asian trading hours to a two-month high of $8,903, only to end the day on a flat note at $8,808, according to CoinDesk's Bitcoin Price Index.
Essentially, bitcoin created a "Doji" candle, which is widely considered a sign of indecision in the marketplace.
The price action seen so far today is telling the same story.
At press time, bitcoin is trading near $8,600, representing a 1 percent drop on a 24-hour basis.
Bitcoin now risks a deeper pullback below Wednesday's low of $8,555.
Wednesday's high of $8,903 will likely come into play if prices violate the lower high of $8,705 seen on the hourly chart in the next few hours.
