In the event of an extended crypto rally, the second major resistance level at $9,162.97 would likely come into play.
Failure to move back through to $8,860 levels could see Bitcoin fall deeper into the red.

Barring another extended crypto sell-off, however, Bitcoin should steer clear of the second major support level at $8,546.17.
