There was a strong bounce in bitcoin price above the $11,000 level against the US Dollar. BTC price is up more than 10% and it could continue to rise towards $12,000 in the near term.

Yesterday, there was a downside extension below $10,000 in bitcoin price against the US Dollar. The BTC/USD pair traded to a new monthly low at $9,679 before the bulls took a stand. There was a major reversal pattern formed and the price climbed sharply above the $10,000 and $10,500 resistance levels.

Moreover, yesterday’s crucial declining channel was breached with resistance near $10,120 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair. The pair surged above the 50% Fib retracement level of the last major drop from the $12,310 high $9,679 swing low. It is now trading nicely above the $11,400 level and the 100 hourly SMA.
