Bitcoin price continues the correction after the rejection at the $10000 mark. Now BTCUSD testing the strong support at 9500 which is crucial for the short term trend. A break below will cancel the recent rally while if the number one cryptocurrency holds above the 9500 mark night initiate another leg higher.

Yesterday bitcoin cancelled the argument that the digital currency works also as a safe haven asset. Yesterday gold and silver rallied to seven-year highs while BTCUSD was under selling pressure. On Monday BTCUSD lost all of Sunday’s gain and tested the $9500 mark from where it managed to rebound.
