Bitcoin Price Gains Pace above $10,500
Yesterday, we saw a strong increase in bitcoin above the $10,000 resistance against the US Dollar. BTC extended its rally above the $10,200 and $10,500 resistance levels to settle above a couple of crucial hurdles.
There was a break above the $11,000 level and the price settled well above the 100 hourly simple moving average. A new monthly high is formed near $11,422 and it is currently consolidating gains. It corrected lower below the $11,200 level.
However, the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent rally from the $10,275 low to $11,422 high acted as a strong support near $10,850. There is also a major bullish trend line forming with support near $10,8s00 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair.

The trend line is close to the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the recent rally from the $10,275 low to $11,422 high. On the upside, the $11,500 level is a major hurdle for the bulls.
A successful break above the $11,400 and $11,500 levels may perhaps open the doors for sharp increase in the near term. The next target for the bulls could be $12,000 in the coming sessions.
