The world’s most famous cryptocurrency earlier in the prior day hit as much as $11,950. Bitcoin prices fell back substantially in the last 24 hours, falling rapidly to its depths in nearly two weeks before regaining strength. The upward movement of BTC/USD prices stopped near $11,500 early in the day after trading within a narrow range. This recent dump is hinting at a larger correction as BTC/USD dives beneath $11,000 on the aftermath of the bull trap. The BTC market cap currently stands at $198.68 billion, with $28.44 billion traded in the past 24 hours. The prior month has been the most bullish period for price so far. Bitcoin’s dominance plunged to 56.4% as lots of minor coins have been gaining ground recently on the DeFi boom. At the time of writing, BTC/USD stays marginally above the $10,500 low support level seen since the beginning of August. On-chain data provider CryptoQuant indicated massive Bitcoin Miners Cash out to the cryptocurrency exchanges. This massive outflow from Miners’ wallets to the cryptocurrency exchanges may eventually result in the increased selling pressure as an aftermath of the bull trap.

Support Levels: $10,500, $10,000, $9,500
BTC/USD Daily ChartThe BTC/USD price on the daily chart is supported by the $10,500 horizontal support line, which integrates the ascending trendline from April 16. Since mid-July, this rising trendline support has been validated in many instances and transformed into a strong area of support that has the potential to stop the sell-off and activate the next bullish phase.
As of now, bulls have been able to assert beyond the $10,500 low level of support seen since early August and could still rebound up in the long run. Moreover, a stable rebound over $12,000 may eliminate the bearish case and carry more bulls into the market. BTC/USD may have a tough time getting up past $12,000, albeit based on key variables such as the US Dollar.
BTC/USD 4-Hour ChartThe price broke down on the 4 hour time frame and is now caught under both MA 50 and MA 200, with 4 hour RSI crossing beneath the oversold zone and into the negative range. Bitcoin has initiated a strong technical price correction alongside the wider cryptocurrency market, after peaking slightly beyond the $12,000 level earlier this week.
Analysis of the lower time frame proves that if the price consolidates on the $10,500 support zone, a broad bullish reversal pattern may form. Traders expecting a selloff to get back into the bullish trend may have their opportunity. The BTC/USD pair is only bullish while exchanging beyond the level of $11,000, the main resistance is seen at levels between $11,500 and $12,000. If the BTC/USD pair exchanges beneath the $10,500, sellers may test the support levels of $10,000 and $9,500.
