"Bitcoin consolidated below the $17,000 level as market volatility remained high following the recent FOMC’s minutes. BTC’s immediate support lies at the $16,800 level. And the resistance lies at $16,900 and then $17,000. However, a clear move above the $17,000 level might create a sense of confidence among the bulls to move further," said Edul Patel, CEO and Co-Founder of Mudrex.
