Bitcoin is beginning to show some intense signs of strength after a prolonged period of consolidation within the mid-to-upper $11,000 region This latest push higher has not done a ton to invalidate the weakness that the cryptocurrency was previously experiencing, as it has yet to push BTC past its key $12,000 resistance level Analysts are noting that where it trends next may depend largely on whether or not buyers can shatter the selling pressure that sits at this level This move was able to push BTC beyond the upper boundary of an ascending triangle, which could ultimately provide it with some serious near-term momentum
Bitcoin has been flashing some intense signs of strength throughout the past several hours, with its prolonged consolidation bout finally drawing to a close.
This momentum has yet to push the crypto above $12,000 however, and it remains in a somewhat precarious situation until this level is broken above and flipped to support.
One analyst is now pointing to a few factors that all suggest upside is imminent, including its ability to consolidate above $11,600 and the strength seen by Ethereum today.
These factors also come as Bitcoin breaks above the upper boundary of a descending triangle that analysts were watching. The break above this level may allow it to surge significantly in the near-term.
Bitcoin Breaks Out of Key Technical Formation as Analysts Target $15,000At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading up just over 2% at its current price of $11,900. This is around the price at which it has been trading throughout the past few hours.
It is important to note that today’s push towards $12,000 came about shortly after the cryptocurrency broke out of a bullish descending triangle pattern.
This has led one analyst to target $15,000.
“Break out of wedge confirmed. Send it straight to 15K,” he said while referencing a potential path forward that he outlined several days ago.

He believes that continued consolidation above $11,600 will help guide BTC significantly higher.
“Reached the $12,000 area that I’ve pointed since the low. Would like to see consolidation above $11,600 here. If that happens, we’ll most likely see a rally towards $12,400 and new highs. ETH already painting the way.”
