Bitcoin Is More Likely to Surge Higher Than Correct, as It Finds Strong Support. With the numerous bullish sentiments and positive news in the crypto space, the price of Bitcoin is more likely to surge higher than plunge heavily in the near term.

However, if the digital currency begins a downtrend, chances are it would find support close to $11,650 or $11,600. The breakdown support is close to the $11,500 mark and the trendline.

A break below the $11,650 and $11,600 support mark could strengthen the bears a bit, and the digital currency might plunge to the next major support close to $11,200, followed by the $11k hurdle.
