Bitcoin Is Set for a Larger Uptrend as Bulls Take the Crypto to an $18,450 High

Today, in its impressive positive moves, BTC rallied to $18,450 but pulled back to $17,110 low. The price has corrected upward as the coin fluctuates between $17,500 and $18,400.

In the previous uptrend, the $16,400 resistance impeded the upward move on November 13. This resulted in the king coin plunging to $15,900 on November 14. Nevertheless, the upward move resumes as bulls buy the dips to propel the coin to rally. The recent rally on November 16 broke the $16,400 resistance. The price momentum extended to the $18,450 high. 

The current price movement has been stalled below $18,500 but BTC is fluctuating between $17,500 and $18,400. Bitcoin bulls will have an uphill task to break the resistance at $18,500. In the meantime, the price has corrected upward to retest the $18,400 and $18,500 resistance. A break above $18,500 high will make the coin to rally above $20,000 high. On the other hand, if the bears break below $17,500 support, BTC will fall to $16,700 low
