Bitcoin (BTC/USD) attempted to extend its recent upward momentum during today’s Asian session as the pair continued to trade above the 9000 figure after bids emerged around the 8800 area during yesterday’s Asian session. Some minor Stops have recently been elected above the 9196.13 area, representing the 38.2% retracement of the recent depreciation from 9836.99 to 8800.00.
