It broke over the 23.6 percent Fibonacci retracement level of the previous swing from the high of $9,945 to the low of $8,806. On the upside, there is a formation of a key hurdle close to the $9,400 mark and the 100 simple moving average. The 50 percent Fibonacci retracement level of the previous swing from the high of $9,945 to the low of $8,806 is also close to the $9,375 mark to stop the current uptrend.

There is also a formation of a key declining channel with a hurdle close to $9,560 on the 4-hour chart of the BTC/USD trading pair. If the price of the digital currency break over the $9,400 mark successfully, it could pave the way for more gains towards the next major hurdles at $9,500 and $9,560. For Bitcoin to return to the positive zone, it needs to first break over the $9,400 mark and then settle over the channel resistance zone. Over that level, the next major hurdle is close to the $9,800 and $10k marks.

How Will the Bulls React to this Level?

If the digital currency fails to break over the $9,400 hurdle mark, the 100 SMA, and the $9,500 resistance, chances are it could start a fresh downtrend. If that happens, the price of the digital currency is likely to plunge below the $9k support. The major support for the digital currency is close to the $8,800 mark, below which the bears are likely to push prices towards the $8,400 mark.
