Bitcoin price prediction: BTC/USD cautiously creeps above $9,300  - Bitcoin confluence

  • BTC/USD managed to settle above $9,300 amid steady recovery on Thursday.
  • The next critical resistance awaits BTC bulls at $9,550.

Bitcoin (BTC) is hovering at $9,300, off the intraday high of $9,364. The first digital currency is range-bound with bullish bias during early Asian hours; however, the recovery may gain traction once the European session kicks in. 

Bitcoin confluence levels 

There are a few technical levels clustered around the current price, which means that the coin is likely to oscillate in a tight range in the short run. Meanwhile, the upside looks like the path of least resistance.
