The bitcoin prices have been consolidating between the $13000 and the $11000 regions over the last few days and this is set to continue in the short term. The prices have moved towards the lows of the range in the $11000 region as of this writing but this region is expected to hold in the short term.We had mentioned the same in our previous forecast as well where we had said that the prices would move into consolidation for some days before the next move higher and we continue to believe in the same.

BTC Prices In Range

The confusion and the uncertainty on what the regulators in South Korea would do in the short term seems to have resolved itself, atleast for now, and the market is beginning to settle down. Of course, the retail crowd is still a bit doubtful on whether it wants to reinvest at these levels once again but the bigger investors seem to be picking it up at will. It is also likely that many traders are still licking their wounds as they may have bought bitcoin near the highs, as is usually done by the retail crowd, and they may be looking for an opportunity to get out. All these are signs of a maturing market.

The ETH market has also been rocked by the fall overall but is has since managed to bounce back above the $1000 region and continues to trade in that region as of this writing. It is expected that the prices could use the $1000 region as the springboard to bounce higher and challenge the all time highs in the short term.

Forecast

Looking ahead to the rest of the day, expect the consolidation to continue and we expect the support regions at $11000 and $1000 to hold for the BTC and the ETH markets respectively. This should help the prices to move higher in the short term once the consolidation is over.
