Bitcoin (BTC/USD) sought to add to its recent minor gains early in the Asian session as the pair was lifted to the 39906.39 area before coming off to the 38759 level, with that low during the pullback right around the 50% retracement of the recent appreciating range from 37560.40 to 39906.39.  Traders stopped short of testing the psychologically-important 40000 figure and the 40079 area, representing the 50% retracement of the recent depreciating range from 42597.84 to 37560.40.  The 39548.98 level represents the 50% retracement of the broader depreciating range from 44775.96 to 34322, and traders are looking to determine if BTC/USD can remain bid above this level.  Additional upside retracement levels in this depreciating range include the 40673, 41409, and 41519 areas.
