Bitcoin is down more than 5% and it broke the key $9,300 support zone against the US Dollar. BTC traded as low as $9,089 and it is currently correcting higher towards hurdles. Bitcoin declined sharply after it was rejected one more time near the $10,000 level. There was a break below many key supports near $9,500 and $9,300. There is a short term contracting triangle forming with resistance near $9,340 on the hourly chart of the BTC\/USD pair (data feed from Kraken). The pair could correct further, but upsides are likely to face sellers near $9,400 and $9,500. Bitcoin Price Turns Red After another crucial rejection near the $10,000 level, bitcoin price started a major bearish wave against the US Dollar. BTC gained bearish momentum below the $9,800 and $9,500 support levels. It weakened more than 5% to settle below the $9,500 level and the 100 hourly simple moving average. The decline was such that the price even broke the $9,300 support and traded to a new weekly low at $9,089. Bitcoin is currently correcting higher and trading above the $9,250 level. It surpassed the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $9,988 high to $9,089 low.
