The local support is now created by the upper line of the 1-hour Bollinger Band at $11,500. If the upside momentum is sustained, BTC/USD may increase to $12,000. This psychological barrier may slow down the bullish trend and trigger the correction towards the above-said BB. If it is broken, the sell-off may be extended to $11,350, reinforced by 1-hour SMA100.
