Bitcoin Price Prediction: Why BTC/USD could fall to $11,400 before lifting off to $12,000 – Confluence Detector
- Bitcoin price struggle to secure support at $11,600 following rejection from $11,800.
- BTC/USD is likely to create fresh demand at lower price levels; preferably the support at $11,400.
Bitcoin price action is capped under $12,000. Moreover, increasing selling activity is putting pressure on support levels at $11,600 and $11,400. For example. The failure to hold above $11,800 on Monday has seen the price spiral below $11,700 to trade at $11,695 at the time of writing.
The longer Bitcoin takes before reclaiming the ground above $12,000, the stronger the bearish case becomes. In addition more investors are likely to start looking elsewhere (altcoins) for price action if BTC holds the within the narrow range ($11,600 - $11,800).
Buying activities are not necessary absent but at the moment, they are not enough to sustain bullish action towards and $12,000. If we take wider scope of Bitcoin technicals using simple indicators such as the RSI, we see a consolidation picture vividly illustrated. The RSI is moving in a leveling motion at 56.82 after losing ground from the overbought.
The MACD, on the other hand, is putting emphasis on the bearish influence the sellers have over the price. Besides, the downward trend, there is a minor bearish divergence from the MACD. If the trend remains unchanged, Bitcoin could potentially break down to retest support at $11,400.
