The digital currency formed a new intraday high close to $10,971 and it is presently consolidating gains. It appears there is a formation of a contracting triangle with support close to the $10,880 mark. The triangle support is close to the 23.6 percent Fibonacci retracement level of the previous swing from low of $10,539 to the high of $10,971.

On the upside, the first key hurdle for the digital currency is close to the $10,950 mark. However, the major resistance for the digital currency is still close to the $11k level. A successful break over the $11k hurdle point could pave the way for more gains towards the $11,500 mark in the near term. However, Bitcoin needs more bullish momentum to make this move. It needs sustained buying pressure to move things higher.

Bitcoin Needs to Prevent Dips to the Lower $10k Region

For Bitcoin to break over the $11k hurdle point, it needs to hold gains over its key support level. The first major support for the digital currency is close to the triangle trendline at $10,880. Below that level, the next key support is close to the $10,800 mark or the 50 percent Fibonacci retracement level of the previous swing from the low of $10,539 to the high of $10,971.

Any decline below that level would likely the price of Bitcoin towards the $10,700 support mark since it is near the 100 hourly simple moving average. However, technical indicators are pointing out that the digital currency is more likely to surge higher in the near term.
