Bitcoin Price Analysis
Recently, there was a decent upward move in bitcoin price above $11,200 and $11,800 against the US Dollar. The BTC/USD pair even climbed above the $12,000 resistance and the 100 hourly simple moving average. However, the price struggled to remain above the $12,000 level and formed a swing high at $12,053. As a result, there was a downside correction below the $11,800 and $11,600 support levels.
There was a break below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the last upward move from the $9,677 low to $12,053 high. Additionally, there was a break below a major bullish trend line with support near $11,840 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair. Moreover, the pair spiked below the $11,000 support and the 100 hourly simple moving average. However, the $10,800 level acted as a strong support base.
Besides, the 50% Fib retracement level of the last upward move from the $9,677 low to $12,053 high prevented more losses. The price is currently trading above the $11,000 level and the 100 hourly simple moving average. It seems like the current price action, there are chances of a fresh increase above the $11,400 and $11,500 resistance levels.

The next main support is near $10,580 level or the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the last upward move from the $9,677 low to $12,053 high.
