1) BTC/USD
Bitcoin (BTC) has covered the distance from $10,000 to $11,000 within a day. As the price has reversed direction from $12,000 on three occasions, between the end of January and early March of last year, we expect some resistance at this level.If the BTC/USD pair breaks out of $12,000, it can move up to $13,000. We do not suggest traders chase the price higher as the risk to reward ratio is not attractive.
