On November 30th, a massive breakout from the $16900 local resistance triggered a sense of recovery in the crypto market. However, the Bitcoin price is trapped in a retest phase and has been wavering above the breached resistance since last week. 

The BTC buyer’s failure to follow through with the bullish breakout reflects aggressive selling at higher levels. As a result, the coin price is wobbling in a narrow range of uncertainty stretched from $17200 to $16900. 

The Bitcoin price currently trades at $16968, with an intraday loss of 0.03%.

A daily candle closing from either of the mentioned levels will provoke a directional rally.

Thus, a breakout from the $17200 will signal the resumption of prior recovery and may surge prices to the $17700 mark, followed by $18500.

Thus, traders are confident that the upcoming rally could enter near $1240, while safe traders could wait till the price breach the $1300 mark.

The $1300 breakout will replenish the bullish momentum for a price rally to $1370, followed by $1500.
