Resistance is anticipated at $9,400, $9,450 and $9,600. If Bitcoin brings down the seller congestion in these areas, there is a chance a new path to $10,000 would be created. For now, all the attention should go towards overcoming the hurdle at $9,300 and defending support at $9,200. Losses under $9,200 are likely to seek support at $9,000 and $8,900 respectively.
