  • Once again Bitcoin is facing some problems at $12,000.
  • After touching $12,468, the digital asset got rejected again and it’s currently trading below $12K.

Bitcoin is trading at $11,934 after a significant rejection from $12,387 dropping 3% within minutes. Bears haven’t gotten a lot of continuation just yet as Bitcoin is seeing some support from the daily 12-EMA at $11,763.

Bitcoin bulls are hoping to defend the daily 12-EMA and to bounce back up above $12,000. They need to see a strong move and continuation after the crucial resistance level to be confident in the short-term. The last low of the daily uptrend is $11,110, which could act as a support level. 

The daily RSI has cooled off notably, while the MACD remains in bearish mode.
