Bitcoin meets overwhelming support between $9,100 and $9,200 (buyer congestion zone). It is this support that could place BTC back in the trajectory towards $9,600.

If the short term triangle resistance is broken and supported by enough volume, growth to the upside could be imminent in the coming sessions.
