Bitcoin Holding Uptrend Support This past week, bitcoin extended its rise above the $9,800 resistance area against the US Dollar. BTC price traded close to the $10,000 resistance and settled well above the 100 simple moving average (4-hours). However, the bulls failed to gain strength above $9,950 and $10,000. A swing high was formed near $9,950 and the price started a downside correction. It traded below the $9,800 and $9,550 support levels. The decline was such that the price traded below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $7,954 swing low to $9,950 high. Bitcoin even spiked below the $9,400 support area, but the $9,200 zone acted as a strong support. It seems like the $9,200 zone and the 100 simple moving average (4-hours) protected more losses. There is also a key bullish trend line forming with support near $9,400 on the 4-hours chart of the BTC/USD pair. Bitcoin Price The pair is currently rising and trading above the $9,400 level.
