Bitcoin Price Prediction: BTC/USD Pushes Above $11,000 Resistance, Unable to Sustain Uptrend

Bitcoin (BTC) Price Prediction – September 17, 2020
Bitcoin bulls have broken the resistance at $10,800 and $11,000. BTC price is now in the bullish trend zone. Today, BTC is trading at $10,903 at the time of writing. Buyers now have an uphill task to push BTC above $11,700 resistance. A break above the $11,700 resistance will accelerate the price to retest the $12,000 overhead resistance.

Resistance Levels: $10,000, $11, 000, $12,000
Support Levels: $7,000, $6,000, $5,000

Bitcoin (BTC) was earlier range-bound for almost two weeks between the levels of $10,000 and $10,600. Sellers made several attempts to break below the psychological support but were repelled by a strong buying pressure. Buyers also made attempts to push BTC upward. BTC price became stable above $10,200 before the king coin finally rebounded above $11,200 to reach a high of $10,700. After a minor retracement, buyers pushed the coin above 10,800 but failed to sustain the upward move. Bitcoin bulls have a herculean task to break the resistance at $11,000 and $11,700 to pave the way for a retest at the $12,000 overhead resistance. The uptrend will continue if the bulls sustain price above the $11,000 support. Bitcoin is in a bullish momentum above the 50% range of the daily stochastic.
