At the outset, the price is consolidating gains near the $11,500 level. An immediate support is near the $11,500 and $11,450 levels. Moreover, the 23% Fib retracement level of the recent rally from the $10,841 low to $11,646 high is also near the $11,450 level to act as a strong support. If there is an extended downside correction, the next support for the bulls could be near the $11,200 level.
Additionally, the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent rally from the $10,841 low to $11,646 high could also provide support near the $11,250 level. The main support zone is near the $11,000 level, which was a resistance earlier and now it could provide support. More importantly, there is a key bullish trend line forming with support near $10,900 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair.
