Bitcoin seems to have broken above its months-long consolidation phase in the lower $9,000 region.

Analysts had been predicting that when the consolidation phase broke the currency would see either a massive spike or drop in price, but the break above $9,200 ended up being more mild. At the time of writing Bitcoin is trading at $9,584.
