After trying to cross above the upper Bollinger Band, Bitcoin is now trading in the lower half of the Bollinger Bands (BB) zone and below its twenty-day exponential MA.

If the bulls do not increase some strength and momentum, the cryptocurrency might consolidate in the lower BB region. As of 19:00 UTC, Bitcoin made a high above the basis of BB at $11975 and closed the price below the $11500 resistance at $11401 on Wednesday, 2nd September 2020. The bulls are trying to save the asset from slipping out of the Bollinger Bands by buying the lows, a few points below the lower BB at $11,183, five hours before the daily candle closes today. As the fifty-day MA goes on sloping up, bulls need to increase the magnitude of its momentum to take the asset back above the $11,500 crucial resistance. Traders and investors are eagerly waiting for the asset to push higher for profits.
