BTC/USD

At the moment, the BTC/USD quotes are consolidating. A unidirectional trend is not observed. The key support and resistance levels are 11000.00 and 12300.00, respectively. Indicators do not send accurate signals:
- 50 MA crossed 200 MA;
- The MACD histogram is in the negative zone, but has been growing.

We recommend opening positions from the key levels.

Trading recommendations

If the price fixes above the resistance level of 12300.00, further growth of the BTC/USD quotes is expected. The closest target for profit taking is 13200.0-13850.0.

Alternative option. If the price fixes below the round level of 11000.00, you should look for entry points to the market to open short positions. The movement is tending to 10000.00-9500.00.

When tracking positions, one should use a trailing stop.
