Bitcoin Price is Showing Positive Signs
Bitcoin price started a strong upward move after it broke the $11,000 resistance against the US Dollar. BTC even cleared the $11,200 resistance and settled well above the 100 hourly simple moving average.
It traded to a new monthly high near $11,495 before starting a short-term downside correction. There was a break below the $11,400 level, plus the price traded below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $11,025 low to $11,494 high.
However, the bulls were able to protect the $11,250 support level. The 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $11,025 low to $11,494 high also acted as a strong support.
