BTC/USD: Should one expect a false breakout of the $12,000 mark?
Yesterday, buyers consolidated above the 50% fib ($11,394) and, in the afternoon, they were able to form a bullish momentum that forced the price of Bitcoin (BTC) to test the upper border of the expanding blue range. The daily high is set at $11,840.
At night, the bulls did not manage to continue their growth. The price of Bitcoin rolled back to the area of $11,700 and is trying to find support. The Stoch RSI indicator shows some potential for further growth. A retest of the psychological level of $12,000 is possible today.
On the 4H chart, a strong resistance has been formed around $12,000. From the technical perspective, ongoing growth is possible to the level of $12,100.
However, bulls are unlikely to fix there as they lack power according to the low liquidity. In this case, the chief crypto may face a decline to $11,700 shortly.
On the bigger time frame, the situation is even more bearish as Bitcoin (BTC) is forming a triangle pattern. The decreasing buying volume, as well as the relatively low liquidity, do not consider the rise of the first crypto above $12,000. That is why the decline to the crucial support at $11,100 may occur soon.
Bitcoin is trading at $11,875 at press time.
