During the night, trading volumes significantly decreased, and the range of consolidation is now narrowing. Today, buyers might try to test the two-hour EMA55 and reach consolidation above the average price level. If they don't overcome the resistance of the moving average (EMA55), then the decline will continue to the fifty percent Fibonacci level ($11,394).

On the daily chart, Bitcoin (BTC) quotes are being adjusted again. The price is still above the middle line of the Bollinger Bands indicator, which signals the presence of bulls. An important support area is located at the level of $10,535. Already with the test of this level, one can consider a rebound from the support line on the RSI indicator to be a plausible scenario.

The scenario will be invalidated in case of a breakdown of the lower trendline of the ascending channel with the price fixing below the $9,810 level. In this case, one should expect a drop to $7,870 and the beginning of the next correction.

On the four-hour chart, the price bounced off the upper trendline of the ascending channel. Bitcoin has strong support at the $11,225 level, after which one should expect a new attempt to push the BTC price to the level of $12,495. Here is the proximity of the support line on the RSI indicator, a rebound from this line might be a good signal for continued growth. The invalidation of the scenario will be a breakdown of the lower trendline of the ascending channel with the price fixing below the level of $11,150, in this case, a fall to the level of $10,540 is expected.

Bitcoin is trading at $11,764 at press time.
