- Resistance levels: 11200.00, 12500.0, 14800.00
The BTC/USD quotes have been in a sideways trend for a long time. During the past two weeks, the key support and resistance levels were formed: 10000.00 and 12500.00, respectively. At the moment, bearish sentiment is prevailing.
Indicator signals point to the power of sellers:
- the price has fixed below 50 MA and 200 MA;
- the MACD histogram is in the negative zone and continues to decrease.
We recommend opening positions in the direction of the current trend. If the price fixes below the round level of 10000.00, it is necessary to consider sales of BTC/USD. The movement is tending potentially 9000.00-7500.00.
Alternative option. If the price fixes above the level of 11200.00, the BTC/USD quotes are expected to grow. The immediate goal of profit taking is 12500.00.
When following the positions, we recommend using a trailing stop.
