The market will rise and retest the $12,000 mark if the bulls are successful. Nevertheless, subsequent uptrend will unfold, if the $12,000 resistance is broken. Conversely, if the bears suddenly break the $11,000 support, price will drop again to $10,500. In the meantime, price is falling and approaching the current support. The king coin is below 80% range of the daily stochastic. The market is still in a bearish momentum after the recent crash.

Correlation between Bitcoin Price and Stocks May Affect Bitcoin Bull’s Run
According to reports, Bitcoin has high correlation with the stock markets, particularly S&P 500. Despite the recent breakdown, Bitcoin has shown some signs of bullish gains and a possible retest of the $12,000 mark. Analysts believed that Bitcoin will still be at risk of these traditional markets. A crash in the traditional market has been forecasted by analysts which could affect Bitcoin bulls’ run. The stock’s market in the middle of March resulted in Bitcoin’s price fall by 40%. Investors have been advised to be cautious in their investment.

BTC/USD Next Possible Direction

In other words, the market will retest the $12,000 resistance. Traders should buy if the current support holds.
