|- BTC/USD is growing inside the range, the critical resistance is still untouched.
- An important support is created by $9,300, the first resistance is at $9,500.
Bitcoin (BTC) has recovered above $9,400; however, the critical channel resistance remains unbroken. This level has been limiting Bitcoin's recovery for the most part of the previous week. The first digital asset touched the intraday low of $9,269 during early Asian hours but swiftly recovered to $9,450 by press time. While the upside momentum has stalled, BTC/USD is still moving within a short-term bullish trend amid expanding volatility.
The intraday RSI stays flat close to the overbought area. It means that the coin may have a hard time moving forward. However, the upside may be resumed after a short-term consolidation period.
