Bitcoin (BTC) has been confined in a price range Since October 10. On October 12, the bulls broke the range-bound zone as price reached a high of $11,700. However, selling pressure at the recent high pushed BTC to the range-bound zone. Yesterday, the king coin reached the $11,564 high. The bears were on hand as the coin fell to the range-bound zone.

The recent price action explains that the coin lacks buying power at a higher price level. In other words, the higher price levels are attracted by selling pressure by short term traders. The bottom line is that the coin is always falling above the critical support zones of $11,100, $11,200, and $11,300. The upward movement will continue as long as price is above these levels. Besides, the bullish momentum will return if buyers push BTC above the $11,500 high. The coin will pick up momentum and resume an uptrend.
