On the downside, the 100 hourly SMA holds the key at $11,400. There is also a key bullish trend line forming with support near $11,400 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair.
If there is a downside break below the trend line support and the 100 hourly SMA, bitcoin price may even slide below the $11,315 support. The next major support is near the $11,200 level, below which there is a risk of a larger downside correction in the near term.
