A swing low is formed near $9,649 and the price is currently consolidating losses. It recovered above the $9,880 level, but the $10,000 area prevented more upsides.
A swing high is formed near $10,000 and the bitcoin price declined below the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent recovery from the $9,649 low to $10,000 high. More importantly, the price is following a key bearish trend line with resistance near $9,890 on the 1-hour chart.
Immediate support is near the $9,730 level. It coincides with the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the recent recovery from the $9,649 low to $10,000 high.
If there is a downside break below the $9,730 support area, there is a risk of more losses below the $9,660 support level in the near term.
On the upside, the $9,880 and $10,000 levels are important hurdles. A clear break above $10,000 could open the doors for a fresh upward move.
The next major resistance is near the $10,090 pivot level, above which Bitcoin might climb back towards the $10,460 and $10,480 resistance levels in coming sessions.
