Bitcoin price prediction: BTC/USD bulls licking wounds, recovering above $11,000 - Bitcoin confluence

BTC/USD is hovering above $11,000 amid range-bound trading on Friday.
The next critical resistance awaits BTC bulls at $11,450.

Tanya Abrosimova Independent Analyst

Bitcoin (BTC) has been range-bound during early Asian hours as the bulls are licking wounds after a dramatic collapse that took place on Thursday and made the coin $3000 cheaper in less than 24 hours. The sell-off may gain traction into the end of the working week. At the time of writing, BTC/USD is changing hands at $11,300.

Bitcoin confluence levels

There are a lot of strong technical levels both above and below the current price, which confirms the range-bound theory. However, considering a highly volatile market, another wild move in either direction should not be excluded. Let’s have a closer look at the barriers that might influence Bitcoin’s movements in the short run.
