Bitcoin Price Prediction: BTC Building Momentum For The Ultimate Liftoff to $12,000

• Bitcoin is nurturing bullish moment after bouncing off $11,200 support on Friday.
• The path with the least hurdles is upwards according to on-chain analysis.

Bitcoin has made a considerable recovery from the support confirmed at $11,200. The freefall towards the weekend occurred after news broke that OKEx had suspended withdrawal service for digital assets/cryptocurrencies. The losses were not unique to Bitcoin but cut across the market. While the instability in the market faded, the services on the cryptocurrency exchange remain suspended.

At the time of writing, Bitcoin is dancing at $11,480 amid a fight to overcome the selling pressure at $11,500. Further up, price action beyond $11,600 would see the buyers shift their attention to $11,800 and $12,000, respectively.

The bullish outlook is also brought to light by the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). In addition to regaining the ground in the positive territory, a bullish divergence is visible. In other words, bulls have the upper hand, at least for now.
