The BTC/USD pair made a nice 15% move and climbed above the $11,000 and $11,200 resistance levels. Moreover, there was a close above the $11,200 level and the 100 hourly simple moving average. We also discussed the chances of a test of the $12,000 resistance level.
The price did climb higher and traded above the $12,000 target. A new intraday high was formed at $12,053 and the price is currently correcting lower. It is trading near the $11,800 level and the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent wave from the $11,035 low to $12,053 high. On the downside, there are many supports near the $11,600 and $11,500 levels.
Besides, there is a new connecting bullish trend line forming with support near $11,550 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair. The trend line support coincides with the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent wave from the $11,035 low to $12,053 high. If there is a downside break below the $11,500 support, bitcoin price could extend the current correction towards the $11,275 support area. Any further losses might push the price towards $11,000 or the 100 hourly SMA.
On the upside, the $12,000 level is an initial resistance. Once there is a break above the $12,000 resistance and the $12,050 swing high, there could be more gains. In the mentioned case, the price could trade towards our second target of $12,500.
