Bitcoin Price Analycyc: BTC/USD bears regain control, price moves towards $11,400

Tanya Abrosimova Independent Analyst

Bitcoin (BTC) dropped like a stone after a failed attempt to clear the local resistance created by 1-hour SMA100 at $11,650. At the time of writing, BTC/USD is changing hands at $11,460 and the downside momentum is gaining traction. The coin has lost over 2.5% since the start of the day, more sell-off ahead, unless the price manages to recover above $11,500 (upper line of 30-min Bollinger Band) in the nearest future.

On the downside, the local support is created by $11,400. Once it gives way, August 22 low at $11,370 will come into focus. This barrier reinforced by the lower line of the daily Bollinger Band should slow down the sellers and trigger the recovery.
