BTC - uptrend is intact

BITSTAMP:BTCUSD   Bitcoin
Hi all,

BTC avoided a drop below $9,000 this weekend even though we saw the price of the biggest cryptocurrency trading as low as $8,830 on Saturday. It temporarily broke below the long-term downtrend (white-dotted line), but recovered in the later hours of trading.
Yesterday, it rebounded from the $9k support, but only managed to reach the $9,150 line.

Few things are visible on the daily chart:
1. Long-term uptrend is intact, as the price of BTCUSD is still trading above the long-term downtrend.
2. It also avoided a drop below the uptrend we drew from the last time the coin visited $8,600 on May 11 (blue-dotted line). Effectively this means we are in a correction mode, not in a trend reversal until the $8,600-$8,700 support is broken.
3. Trading volumes are on the average for the last 30-days or around $21 billion on a 24-hour basis.
4. The bearish divergence we mentioned on our Wednesday update played its role and resulted in a drop below the then present support zones. But it is out of the picture now already, so we need to look into the current setups.

What I think is that we won't see a pullback to $8,700 in the current move, but even if it happens it won't be critical for the long-term uptrend as explained above.

On the 1-h chart, we see a bullish flag formation that can be a result of the decreasing bear pressure and if it comes into reality will drive us back to $9,300. There is also a potential ascending triangle formation, but let's see first how the setup will evolve and if the price gets rejected at the horizontal line again.

Something is wrong with the main chart here as most of the indicators and levels do not appear. I need to send this for checks with support team at TV

Bull flag resulted in an uptrend move last night, but it went halfway only, stopping at $9,200 and not $9,300 as initially predicted.
But looking at the lower timeframes, the move still looks ok, making higher lows an higher highs as well. Is $9,300 next
