BTC/USD: Confluence levels

On the intraday chart, BTC/USD is moving along the upside-looking 1-hour SMA50. This line serves as local support (currently at $8,770), while the overall trend remains bullish as long as the price stays above this area.

$9000 - 61.8% Fibo retracement daily
$9,500 - the highest level of the previous day
$9,950 - Pivot Point 1-day Resistance 1
