Bitcoin is trading sideways above the key level of $11,000.
The leading cryptocurrency is up 0.61% at $11,730 according to the latest data from COIN360 at time of publishing.
Ethereum is down 1.50% at $221.19, XRP is down 1.47% at $0.3075 and Litecoin is up 0.68% at $89.51.
NewsBTC analyst Aayush Jindal says Bitcoin will have to close above $12,000 to keep its momentum moving in the short term and to avoid a downturn.
“[Bitcoin’s] price is trading with a positive bias above the $11,500 and $11,650 level. Having said that, a proper close above the $12,000 level is needed for upside continuation.
In the mentioned bullish case, the price could climb towards the $12,500 and $12,850 levels in the near term.”
On the flip side, crypto analyst Dave the Wave told his 12,000 followers on Twitter that he thinks Bitcoin’s recent parabolic run has likely ended.
I think it fair to say, with price loitering at this level for six weeks, that the parabolic move is over. The question now is correction or sideways… pic.twitter.com/BpnsFrNVuQ
