Bitcoin (BTC/USD) improved early in today’s Asian session as the pair was lifted to the 8940.00 level after bids emerged around the 8800.10 level during yesterday’s Asian session.  Traders continue to observe the pair’s movements around and below the psychologically-important 9000 figure, a level that it barely managed to pierce last week when BTC/USD traded as high as the 9013.00 level.  Traders continue to monitor many price levels, including the 8847.59 area that represents the 38.2% retracement of the recent move from 8500.00 to 9013.00.  The next downside levels in this range include the 8796.50, 8745.41, and 8682.19 levels.  Traders are also monitoring price activity above the 50-bar MA (hourly) and the 50-bar MA (4-hourly).

Another important range that traders are watching is the move from 10540.49 in October to 6430.00 in December.  If traders are able to push the pair above the psychologically-important 10,000 figure, traders will see if an upside price objective can be pierced around the 10,072.28 level, representing the 76.4% retracement of the aforementioned range.  If selling pressure emerges, traders are curious to see if bids will emerge around the 9782.63 level area, representing the 61.8% retracement of this range.  Below this area, traders are eyeing additional technical support around the 9548.53 and 9314.42 levels.

Price activity is nearest the 50-bar MA (4-hourly) at 8,499.35 and the 50-bar MA (Hourly) at 8,860.30.
