The main support is now forming near the $9,000 level and the 100 hourly simple moving average. It is close to the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $8,813 low to $9,226 high.
On the upside, the price must surpass the main $9,300 and $9,340 resistance levels to move into a positive zone. If the bulls succeed, there could be a sharp upward move towards the $9,500 and $9,550 resistance levels.
Bearish Reaction in BTC?
If bitcoin struggles to continue higher above $9,200 or $9,300, there is a risk of a bearish reaction. On the downside, the $9,000 support and the 100 hourly SMA hold the key.
A successful close below the $9,000 support level could negate the chances of an upside break. In the stated case, the price will most likely resume its decline towards $8,800 or even $8,650 in the coming sessions.
