The Bitcoin[1] chart is red-hot at the moment as the token continues on its pursuit to re-test $12,000 over the next 24-hours. While the market is still bullish for Bitcoin[2], other altcoins were indicative of a bearish pull, hence the same sentiment might creep into Bitcoin’s chart. At the moment Bitcoin is currently trading near the $11.85 k mark but volatility pushed the price momentarily above $11,900.
Bitcoin 4-hour chart
Tracing back to its local bottom on 1st week of September, Bitcoin has reacted strongly after testing the support range of $9800-$10,000. Breaching above key Fibonacci lines, BTC is currently dwelling above the 0.786 lines after a massive breakout from the symmetrical triangle. The price quickly pushed above $11,550 and then consolidated above $11,700 over the past few hours.
Now, in the last 4-hour window, the price opened a trading window between $11,711 and $11,943. Volatility dragged into the next candle as Bitcoin is valued at $11,883 at press time.
Now, riding from the support of 50-Moving Average, BTC’[4]s trading market also received a boost from on-balance volume(OBV). The OBV’s steady incline over the past few weeks is fundamentally important from an on-chain perspective. The market is active and possibly pushing for a Bitcoin spike.

However, the impending break above $12,000 might be short-termed at best. Because of the quick rally, a period of correction should be accounted for as well. While the price oscillated between an ascending channel, the price will entertain a fakeout bullish break, before dropping below $12,000.
A re-test at $12,000 would still be positive since it would be more likely that BTC tests the resistance again towards the end
