Bitcoin price prediction: BTC bulls have to start it over again

Bitcoin's upside momentum has faded away after a short-lived spike above $12,000.
Critical $11,000 is regarded as a critical support area.

BTC/USD has recovered from Tuesday's low of $11,256; however, the first digital coin is still well below critical $12,000. The bullish breakthrough engineered during early Asian hours on Tuesday looked so promising, but it failed to live up to expectations. BTC/USD is changing hands at $11,640 at the time of writing, down over 3% on a day-on-day basis.
