Bitcoin price in the latter stages of trading on Wednesday is holding minor gains of 2.5%. The bulls managed to regather some upside momentum, but the price continues to remain stuck within a narrow daily range.

BTC/USD has been trading within narrowing trading conditions since 4th June, after losing upside momentum earlier in the month. The bulls lost much ground after briefly touching the $9000 price territory.

In terms of resistance, the upside is capped by daily resistance around $8200 area. Further north, a heavy supply zone is seen from $8800 up to $9000. These are the last major barriers ahead of a firm $9000 return.
