Bitcoin Breaks the $12,000 Overhead Resistance; Here’s Why

Today, BTC has made an impressive bullish run as price hit the high of $12,300. This current uptrend has been made possible because of recent developments.

Firstly, Bitcoin bulls have ensured that price holds above the critical support zones of $11100, $11,200, and $11,300. Secondly, the bulls breached the next resistance at the $11,500 high. This gives the king coin an accelerated price movement to reach the previous highs. Fundamentally, Bitcoin is rising for the past few days because of the weakness of the US dollar. 

There seems to be a correlation between Bitcoin and the U.S Dollar Currency Index (DXY) which has been falling. Technically, the BTC price is making a series of higher highs and higher lows in the lower time frame. The uptrend will be terminated when this pattern is disrupted. On the upside, if the current momentum is sustained, the next resistance to break is the $12,400 high. A break above the $12,400 high will propel BTC to make strong moves into the higher price levels.
