Bitcoin Gaining Bullish Momentum After a short term downside correction, bitcoin found support near the $9,200 zone against the US Dollar. BTC price remained well bid above the 100 hourly simple moving average and started a fresh increase from $9,200.

Bitcoin Price On the upside, the bulls are facing a significant hurdle near the $9,950 and $10,000 levels. A successful break and close above the $10,000 resistance may perhaps open the doors for a sustained upward move. The next resistance could be $10,500, above which the bulls might aim $11,200.

If the bulls fail to defend the $9,500 support, there is a risk of a double top pattern, resulting in a sharp decline below $9,200 and $9,000 in the near term.
