The next major support is near the $9,275 level. It is close to the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent rise from the $9,178 low to $9,372 high. On the upside, the $9,350 and $9,375 levels are short-term hurdles.
If the price gains pace above the $9,375 resistance, it could continue to rise towards the next crucial hurdle near the $9,500 level. Any further gains could open the doors for a larger wave towards the $9,800 level in the coming sessions.

If bitcoin starts a major downside correction below $9,290 or $9,275, it could find support near the $9,245 level (the recent breakout zone).
The next crucial support is seen near the $9,180 level, below which the price is likely to move back into a bearish zone in the near term. In the mentioned case, it may perhaps revisit the $9,000 level.
