Bitcoin has seen a shallow recovery from yesterday’s drop to $9,600 area. However, the correction above $9,700 failed to smash the resistance at$9,800. For now, the largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization is valued at $9,743 amid a slightly building bullish momentum.

The confluence detector tool places the initial resistance at $9,789. This zone is only one of three prominent hurdles below $10,500. The other two are observed at $10,0093 and $10,498 respectively. The cluster of indicators forming the resistance at $9,789 range from SMA 5 15-mins, previous high 15-mins, SMA10 15-mins, Bollinger Band 15-mins upper, previous high 4-hour and Fibonacci 38.2% daily among others.

On the downside, support areas are not as prominent as resistance zones. The first and most important support is $9,688. Only the Bollinger Band 15-mins lower is forming the resistance at this zone. Other weaker support areas likely to cushion the drop include $9,384, $8,979 and $8,574.

Prediction: Bitcoin is likely to refresh the lows close to $9,400 in order to create demand for a sustained correction above $10,000.
