Bitcoin price chart analysis

Bitcoin performed a notable recovery above the $11,000 level last week, sending the pioneer cryptocurrency to a two-week trading high.

Bitcoin price chart analysis shows that BTC/USD bulls need to anchor the price above the $11,100 level to secure further upside this week.

Bitcoin medium-term price trend

Bitcoin continues to erase it’s early-month losses, with the BTC/USD pair staging a double-digit recovery from the lows of the month.

Bullish on-chain chain and a notable positive shift in the futures and options markets suggest that the latest recovery may have longevity.

Bitcoin price technical analysis shows that the $11,100 level is the major trading pivot to watch this week.

Technical analysis shows that price stabilization above the $11,100 level is likely to encourage buying interest towards the $12,000, and possibly the $12,500, level.

The daily time frame shows that weakness under $11,100 could result in the BTC/USD revisiting critical weekly support around the $10,550 and $10,300 levels.

Bitcoin short-term price trend

The four-hour time frame highlights that an inverted head-and-shoulders pattern has yet to reach its full upside potential.

Short-term technical analysis shows that bearish MACD price divergence is also present, and extends down towards the $10,500 technical region.

Bitcoin technical summary

Bitcoin technical analysis highlights that bulls need to hold the cryptocurrency above $11,100 level to encourage further buying towards the $12,000 area.

The difference between trading assets and CFDs
The main difference between CFD trading and trading assets, such as commodities and stocks, is that you don’t own the underlying asset when you trade on a CFD.
You can still benefit if the market moves in your favour, or make a loss if it moves against you. However, with traditional trading you enter a contract to exchange the legal ownership of the individual shares or the commodities for money, and you own this until you sell it again.
CFDs are leveraged products, which means that you only need to deposit a percentage of the full value of the CFD trade in order to open a position. But with traditional trading, you buy the assets for the full amount. In the UK, there is no stamp duty on CFD trading, but there is when you buy stocks, for example.
CFDs attract overnight costs to hold the trades (unless you use 1-1 leverage), which makes them more suited to short-term trading opportunities. Stocks and commodities are more normally bought and held for longer. You might also pay a broker commission or fees when buying and selling assets direct and you’d need somewhere to store them safely.
