Bulls have defended the 12-EMA at $11,436 for the past two days and are looking for a bounce towards $12,000. The current daily uptrend is still intact and the last week of consolidation has been actually positive for Bitcoin as it cooled off several indicators.

Bitcoin is just picking up momentum on the 4-hour chart but has been rejected from the 12-EMA and the 26-EMA. The 4-hour downtrend will prevail unless the bulls can climb above $12,100 or set a lower high followed by a higher low and then break the last high.
