Bitcoin Turns Green

A new weekly high is formed near $11,176 and the price is currently correcting lower. There was a break below the $11,050 and $11,000 levels. Bitcoin even traded below the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent increase from the $10,818 low to $11,176 high.

The first trend line is close to the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the recent increase from the $10,818 low to $11,176 high. The second trend line is near the previous breakout zone at $10,800 (a strong support).
On the upside, the bulls are struggling to gain pace above $11,000 and $11,100. A successful close above the $11,200 level might clear the path for a push towards the $11,500 resistance or even $11,800.
Dips Supported in BTC?
If bitcoin struggles to climb above the $11,000 resistance, it might continue to move down. The main support on the downside is near the second trend line and $10,800.
A clear break and close below the $10,800 support level may perhaps lead the price towards the next major support near the $10,550 level. Any further losses might call for a test of the $10,200 level.
