An initial support is near the $9,620 level or the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent upward move from the $8,950 low to $9,822 high. If there are more losses, the price could test the main support near the $9,400 level.

The 50% Fib retracement level of the recent upward move from the $8,950 low to $9,822 high is also near the $9,400 level to act as a support.

Moreover, there is a major bullish trend line forming on the same chart with support near $9,380. Finally, the 21 simple moving average (4-hours) is near the $9,280 level to act as a solid barrier for sellers.

It broke the 50% Fib retracement level of the last drop from the $0.4638 high to $0.4189 low. However, the $0.4450 level is acting as a resistance.

Moreover, the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the last drop from the $0.4638 high to $0.4189 low prevented more gains. The price is currently consolidating, but the technical structure suggests more gains above the $0.4500 and $0.4600 levels. The next key resistance is near the $0.4740 level.

On the downside, there are many supports near the $0.4280 and $0.4250 levels. There is also a connecting bullish trend line forming with support near $0.4200 on the same chart.

The price is currently trading with a positive bias above $6.800 and it seems like it could make another attempt to surpass the $7.250 resistance. If it succeeds, there could be a strong upward move above the $7.400 and $7.500 levels.

On the downside, the main supports are near the $6.800 and $6.660 levels, followed by the $6.500 pivot level.
