Bitcoin is gaining momentum and it recently crossed $12,000 against the US Dollar. BTC is showing positive signs and it is likely to continue higher towards $12,400.

In the past few sessions, bitcoin price started a fresh increase from the $11,500 support area against the US Dollar. The price gained traction and broke a couple of important hurdles near $11,800.

As a result, the price broke the $12,000 resistance and it settled well above the 100 hourly simple moving average. During the rise, there was a break above a short-term declining channel with resistance near $11,665 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair.

A new monthly high is formed near $12,084 and the price is currently consolidating gains. An initial support on the downside is near the $12,000 level. It is close to the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent rally from the $11,536 swing low to $12,084 high.

The main support on the downside is forming near the $11,900 and $11,800 levels (the recent breakout zone). It is close to the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent rally from the $11,536 swing low to $12,084 high.

On the upside, the $12,050 and $12,100 are initial hurdles for the bulls. A successful break above the $12,100 level could open the doors for a push towards the $12,400 and $12,500 resistance levels in the near term.

If bitcoin starts a downside correction, the bulls are likely to protect dips near the $11,900 level. The first key support is near the $11,800 level, below which the price might continue to move down.
