- Bitcoin price stalls under $11,400 following a retest of the primary support at $11,100.
- BTC/USD reversal to $12,000 is still possible but it’s best to wait for a confirmed breakout above the key trendline.
Bitcoin bulls are working hard to hold the price above short term support at $11,300. For the second time in less than a week, Bitcoin has tested support at $11,100. The second fall followed the most recent rejection at $11,500. Buyers managed to create some volume that saw Bitcoin make an immediate reversal from $11,000 but it was not been enough to sustain gains towards $11,500 let alone break the next hurdle at $11,400.
The 4-hour chart shows the big wick bearish candle (red) that gave way for an instant pullback from the support at $11,100. However, with the resistance at $11,400 intact, traders should wait for a confirmation before betting on Bitcoin’s ability to hit $12,000 in the coming weekend session.
Meanwhile technical indicators clearly show that consolidation is bound to take over. The RSI is holding horizontally at 45 after a gradual but steady recovery from levels closer to the oversold. The MACD is, however, stuck in the negative region, which highlights the fact that selling pressure is present. Therefore, bulls should be aware in order to plan to keep Bitcoin above $11,300 and focus on the path towards $12,000.
A break above the descending trendline would add gasoline to the fire ignited by the bulls. Bitcoin would then be rocketed above multiple resistance zones highlighted at $11,600, $11,800 and the ultimate $12,000.
