The first major resistance is near the $10,000 level, above which there are chances of more upsides towards the $10,400 and $10,500 resistance levels in the near term.
Fresh Decline in BTC?
On the downside, the first key support is near the triangle trend line at $9,780. If bitcoin price fails to break higher, it could correct lower below $9,780. The next major support is seen near the $9,680 level and the 100 hourly simple moving average.
The 50% Fib retracement level of the recent wave from the $9,469 low to $9,884 high is also near $9,677. Any further losses may perhaps negate the current bullish view and the price could dive towards the $9,400 support zone.
