It traded below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent rally from the $9,076 low to $9,764 high. However, the previous resistance near the $9,500 and $9,520 levels is acting as a strong support area.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin Price<\/p>\n
A successful break above the $9,750 level is likely to set the pace for a larger upward move. The main target could be $10,000, followed by $10,200.<\/p>\n
On the downside, there are many key supports for bitcoin bulls near the $9,500 area. The next key support is seen near the $9,420 level. It coincides with the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent rally from the $9,076 low to $9,764 high.<\/p>\n
Any further losses may perhaps lead the price towards the $9,340 level and the 100 hourly SMA, where the bulls are likely to take a stand.<\/p>\n
