Bitcoin Price Prediction: BTC/USD journey to $12,000 suffers setback – Confluence Detector

  • Bitcoin managed to hold support at $11,000 after losing traction and slumping sharply.
  • BTC/USD recovery has stalled short of $11,400 as more buyers stay in the sideline unsure of the uptrend.

Bitcoin was forced back to the drawing board with the bearish leg drawing closer to $11,000. Note that, the price prediction on Tuesday talked about Bitcoin likelihood of falling to $11,000 before making another attempt at crossing above the psychological $12,000.

BTC/USD explored levels around $11,000 towards the end of the American session. Recovery from the support has been slow. BTC/USD stepped above $11,300 but the resistance at $11,400 is still intact.

The largest cryptocurrency is exchanging hands at $11,388 at the time of writing. The RSI appears to be have established support at the midline. However, reversal has been delayed to emphasize that selling pressure is present in the market.

This means that the remaining part of the journey to $12,000 would be an uphill task. However, if Bitcoin brings down the seller congestion at $11,400 and $11,600, more buyers are bound to join the market in order to capitalize on the anticipated spike above $12,000.

 The MACD illustrates the same picture especially with a bearish divergence under it. In addition, it is yet to recovery from the downward momentum from highs around 607.
