The price is also struggling to close above the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $12,084 high to $11,130 low.
If there is a successful break above the trend line, the 100 hourly SMA, and $11,650, the price is likely to start a strong rally. The next resistance is near the $11,800 level, above which the bulls are likely to aim more upsides above the $12,000 and $12,050 levels.

The main support is now near the $11,120 level, below which there is a risk of a sharp decline below the $11,000 support. In the mentioned case, the price could even test $10,500 (as discussed in yesterday’s analysis using the daily chart).
