- Bitcoin’s price has finally broken back above $11,000 after a prolonged period of consolidation around $10,700
- This move marks an extension of the momentum that was incurred following news of Square’s plan to purchase $50 million worth of BTC.
- Analysts and investors took this news as a sign that companies are widely beginning to accumulate BTC to hold as a reserve asset
- As such, it renewed a bullish sentiment and, as can be seen today, helped boost Bitcoin’s technical outlook
- One analyst is now closely watching Bitcoin’s reaction to one key technical resistance
- He notes that a break above it could catapult BTC up to $12,000
Bitcoin and the entire cryptocurrency market have been caught within the throes of a consolidation phase throughout the past few weeks.
This has done little to offer insight into where the market will trend next and has struck a heavy blow to investor sentiment.
This is changing, however, as yesterday’s news regarding Square has altered BTC’s trajectory.
One analyst is now noting that $11,150 is a crucial level to closely watch in the near-term. He postulates that a move past this level could be enough to send BTC flying to $12,000.
Bitcoin Pushes Past $11,000 as Selling Pressure Dissipates
At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading up just under 2% at its current price of $11,090. This marks a massive surge from recent lows of $10,600 that were set just a handful of days ago.
BTC has broken into the lower-$11,000 region in previous weeks, however, each tap of $11,200 has sparked far-reaching corrections.
This time may be different, as fundamental developments are largely backing this movement.
If bulls want to maintain their control over the asset, it is imperative that the break through this resistance and allow it to establish a secure foothold above $11,000.

While sharing his thoughts on Bitcoin’s present technical outlook, one analyst explained that he is closely watching for a break above $11,150. He believes that this will be enough to send it straight towards $12,000.
“Bitcoin: Very simple, plain analysis. Holding above $10,700 is beneficial for further upwards momentum. The crucial breaker is $11,150. If that breaks, I’ll anticipate an acceleration towards $12,000.”
