It is currently correcting higher and trading above the $9,200 level. An initial resistance is near the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downside thrust from the $9,690 high to $9,133 low.
More importantly, the bitcoin price is following a declining channel with resistance near $9,265 on the 1-hour chart. Above the channel resistance, the main hurdle for the bulls is near the $9,410 and $9,430 levels.
Besides, the 25 simple moving average (1-hours, orange) is also positioned near the $9,400 area along with the 50% Fib retracement level of the downside thrust from the $9,690 high to $9,133 low.
Therefore, an upside break above the $9,400 and $9,430 levels is needed for a decent start of an upward move. The next major resistance is seen near the $9,700 level.
Conversely, Bitcoin might continue to move down below $9,200. Initial support is seen near the $9,130 level. If the price fails to stay above $9,130 and $9,100, there is a risk of a sharp drop below the $9,000 handle in the coming sessions.
