Bitcoin Price Prediction: BTC/USD commences consolidation above $10,700 – Confluence Detector

  • Bitcoin price holding the ground above $11,700 to give bulls time to plan recovery above $12,000.
  • BTC/USD bulls must gather the proper volume before launching the rocket above $12,000 to avoid frequent retreats.

Bitcoin price appears to be settling around $11,700 after a minor recovery from Thursday’s slump to levels around $11,500. The reversal back to $12,000 is proving to be an uphill task probably because most analysts predict doom before dawn for the largest crypto by market capitalization.

In other words, Bitcoin delayed reversal after plummeting from $12,500 means that it has limited power for gains at the moment. To achieve significant gains, bitcoin could explore lower levels around $11,100 support. This way, more buyers would enter the market according to the expected upward momentum the proper volume for sustained gains not only above $12,000 but also towards $13,000.

The daily chart shows Bitcoin trading at $11,728, marginally below the accelerated trendline (broken line). Support seems to have been established above $10,700 and reinforced by the RSI as it starts to move sideways at 56. Moreover, the MACD is also sitting in the positive region. It has slowed down the downward momentum after rejection at 660.

The MACD is also holding ground above 440 to show that buying activities are ongoing. However, it’s not enough for significant gains eying $12,000. The influence of the bulls over the price is also emphasized by the gap made by the 50-day SMA above the longer-term 200-day SMA.
