Bitcoin has resumed a fresh uptrend

Bitcoin (BTC) has been trading consistently above $10,800 for the past week despite its inability to trade above $11,000.

Since September 16, buyers have made several attempts to push BTC above $11,000. The price has broken the resistance twice to reach a high of $11,041 and $11,174 but the bullish momentum dries up at higher price levels. Buyers could not sustain the uptrend. The significance of breaking the $11,000 resistance is for BTC to resume upside momentum. 

The king coin may have price acceleration to retest or break the $12,000 overhead resistance. Besides, the bull market will resume as BTC trades beside the other altcoins. Conversely, if the current resistance remains unbroken, Bitcoin will fall and be compelled to a sideways move between $10,500 and $11,000. Yesterday, BTC retraced to $10,800 support because of rejection at the recent high. Today, the coin has resumed a fresh uptrend and it is trading above $10,800.
