Bitcoin has spent the last three weeks trying to recover from the dip at the beginning of September. There was a break above $11,000 last week, but BTC hit a wall at $11,200, allowing bears to take back control. Since then, support has been established above $10,700. Unfortunately, resistance at $11,000 has stayed put.
Meanwhile, the flagship cryptocurrency is trading at $10,960 amid attempts to overcome the resistance at $11,000. BTC/USD is also trading at the tip of an ascending wedge pattern. If the hurdle at $11,000 is pushed into the rearview, there is a likelihood of Bitcoin soaring towards $12,000. However, if the rising wedge’s impact comes into play, BTC could embark on a gains-trimming exercise towards the support at $10,000.

The 50 Simple Moving Average (SMA) in the daily range is in line to offer initial support at $10,850. As long as Bitcoin holds above this level, the potential for gains above $11,000 will remain high in this week’s trading.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) hints that the largest cryptocurrency is ready for consolidation by leveling marginally above 50. Moreover, the low trading volume means that BTC is less volatile at the moment. The reckoning level remains at $11,000, where Bitcoin can either kick start the journey to $12,000 or embark on a reversal to $10,000. Either way, it is essential to wait for a confirmed breakout before going all-in on BTC/USD.
