Little progress has been made in Bitcoin’s recovery journey towards $9,000 since Tuesday. However, the bulls have remained relatively in charge containing the largest crypto by market capitalization above $8,750. BTC/USD is trading 0.8% high on Wednesday in a bullish trend amid shrinking volatility.

The price is trying to find balance after breaking key ascending channel support. The immediate downside is protected by the 200-day SMA. On the upside, $8,900 continues to limit movement while $9,000 is a key resistance level. On the downside, the region between $8,400 and $8,500 is currently the major support zone for BTC/USD.
