Bitcoin struggled recently and it traded below the USD 10,000 support level. However, the downside move was contained by another important support at USD 9,550. A low was formed at USD 9,570 and the price recovered.
BTC/USD is currently trading 0.2% down to USD 10,120. It seems like the pair is back in the bullish zone and it could soon move back towards the USD 10,400 resistance (previous support).
