Based on today’s performance, it appears as though that Bitcoin (BTC/USD) bulls are starting to lose traction. For the first time since the 21st of July, BTC has recorded a lower high as it struggles to break the $11,860 resistance.
Also, it has been observed that more than $4 billion have exited the market in the past 24 hours, which is a sign of heavy ‘profit-taking’ by traders.
Many have even gone as far as suggesting that the Bitcoin bull run is coming to an end.
BTCUSD – 4-Hour Chart
Bitcoin Price Levels to Watch
On the 4-hour BTC/USD chart, it can be observed that the “whale pattern” talked about in a previous analysis, has now played out completely. As explained previously, a sideways movement is always expected to be seen whenever this pattern emerges.
That said, BTC could experience a modest retrace to the $11,370 region in the short-term where a bounce to the $12,000 target is expected to take place.
However, failure to bounce off that level could precipitate further declines and could send BTC to the $11,170 and subsequently the $11,070 levels. The furthest BTC is expected to reach in this retrace is the $10,800 region, a sustained drop below that level could overhaul the current favorable sentiment.
At press time, BTC is currently faced with the top of our ascending channel around $11,800. A clean break from that level could usher-in $12,000 immediately.
