- BTC/USD managed to settle above critical $9,200 after a steady growth on Monday.
- The next critical resistance awaits BTC bulls at $9,500.
Bitcoin (BTC) has settled above $9,200, off the recent high $9,474 reached on the back of a strong rally on Monday. While the first digital currency is sidelined during early Asian hours, the upside may be resumed once the European session kicks in. The overall trend remains bullish as long as it stays above $9,000.
