A successful break below the $9,150 level could start a strong decline in the near term. On the upside, an initial resistance is near the $9,435 level.
If Bitcoin surpasses the $9,435 zone, it is likely to climb above $9,500 and $9,550. The next target for the bulls may perhaps be near the $9,680 level in the coming sessions unless the price slides below $9,150.
