- Bitcoin settled above $9,000, however, the critical $9,500 remains intact.
- The technical picture implies that the upside momentum may gain traction.
Bitcoin price managed to hit highs of $9,398 on Wednesday before retreating to $9,250 by press time. The level at $9,000 remains the pivotal support for the first digital coin. If it is broken, the sell-off may continue towards the intraday lows of $8,922. The American session is likely to remain bullish as volatility stays high. Other major cryptocurrencies such as Ripple and Ethereum are also on the rise. The coins have gained 1.9% and 2.0% respectively.
The daily chart shows the RSI looking upwards above 70 (overbought zone). It means that the coin has the potential to move towards $9,500.
