At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $8,910 after adjusting from highs around $8,991. The support at $8,900 must hold as an anchor to movement heading to $9,000. For now, the price is above the moving averages whereby the 50 SMA and the 100 SMA are in line to offer support if and when needed.
