Bitcoin confluence levels

The cluster of indicators forming the resistance at $9,789 range from SMA 5 15-mins, previous high 15-mins, SMA10 15-mins, Bollinger Band 15-mins upper, previous high 4-hour and Fibonacci 38.2% daily among others.
On the downside, support areas are not as prominent as resistance zones. The first and most important support is $9,688. Only the Bollinger Band 15-mins lower is forming the resistance at this zone. Other weaker support areas likely to cushion the drop include $9,384, $8,979 and $8,574.
Prediction: Bitcoin is likely to refresh the lows close to $9,400 in order to create demand for a sustained correction above $10,000.
