Interestingly, Bitcoin has climbed above $9,200 and has broken the resistance. The pair traded and reached  the $9,389 resistance, a sensitive historical price level. In October, BTC consolidated above this price level for two weeks and it fell. In July, at the same historical price level, Bitcoin rose to reach the previous highs.

Today, if the current resistance is broken by the bulls, Bitcoin will rally above $10,300. However, if the bears put up a good defense and they overcome, Bitcoin will be compelled to a sideways move. Nonetheless, the sideways move may last for some days before the resumption of the current uptrend.
