Bitcoin (BTC/USD) on the way to test the -23.6% Fibo zone

• Updated
The Bitcoin has been inserted in an upward phase since the lows of February 25, thanks to the fact that cryptocurrency has found demand above the key barrier of 8500. This has helped the price action to point upwards and the resistance of 11339 could be the next obstacle to face in the short term.
It should be remembered that the Fibonacci target of -23.6% in 12985 is the area where take profit orders could be activated, which in theory liquidates the long sustained positions from the demand zone of 38.2% in 9407. For the moment, the Parabolic SAR is helping to pressure the BTC/USD pair in the short term.
What do we expect?
According to our forecasts in the H1 chart, the pair aims to continue with the bullish movement, although the resistance of 11339 could be the line in the sand to overcome during this week. Should this be achieved, the path would be cleared for the Bitcoin to visit the Fibonacci target of -23.6% at 12985. The RSI remains in negative territory and the MACD indicator is showing that the bears could have an opportunity to correct the current price.
