However, on trading levels of $11,361 losses took effect immediately. At the time of writing, Bitcoin has retreated to $10,954. The downtrend could soon retest support at $10,800. Besides, a reversal seems imminent following the massive rally from the narrow range between $9,000 and $9,300.

The tug war is bound to continue in the near term. In the meantime, let us look into the possible confluence resistance and support levels.
