At the time of writing, Bitcoin (BTC) is trading below the $10,050 mark, with signs of returning to four digits in the near term. The immediate support of the coin is at the $10k level. However, the first major support is close to the $9,930 mark since it is close to the 50 percent Fibonacci retracement level of the previous swing from the low of $9,658 to the high of $10,201. The main support is close to the $9,850 mark, where the bulls are more likely to show up.

Bitcoin Shows Buy Signals
The present price action suggests that the price of Bitcoin (BTC) is correcting lower from the high of $10,201. If the digital currency breaks below the $10k support level, it will likely plunge to the $9,850 support mark. Nevertheless, the price of the digital currency is still strong on the upside and near term correction towards $9,850 could be considered as a great buying opportunity.
Moreover, only a daily plunge below the $9,500 mark might ignite a substantial downward correction. Many analysts believe this is a great time to invest in the digital currency, as it is more likely to surge significantly higher after this near term price correction. On the upside, the major resistance levels of the digital currency are close to $10,150, $10,200, and $10,500.
