Bitcoin and the aggregated cryptocurrency market has been struggling to maintain the momentum seen throughout the past several weeks. For BTC, its multi-week rally first began slowing last week when it saw a sharp rise to $12,000 before facing a rejection that sent it reeling down to $11,000. This decline struck a serious blow to its near-term outlook and sparked the consolidation phase that it is still caught in today. Analysts are now noting that this has led BTC to establish a wide trading range between $11,200 and $12,200. One trader is noting that which of these levels breaks first will offer significant insight into the cryptoβs macro trend. Bitcoin Struggles to Rally Higher as Analysts Flip ShortAt the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading down just over 2% at its current price of $11,650. This is around the price at which it has been trading throughout the past couple of weeks β struggling to garner any clear momentum as it hovers within mid-to-upper $11,000 region. It is important to note that BTC is currently trading at a level that has been established as support on multiple occasions throughout the past week. A dip below here could lead to a deeper pullback. If Bitcoin can rally higher and buck this downtrend, one analyst is noting that he is looking to short the lower-$12,000 region with a target of around $10,000.
