I'm glad the analysis helped you. It's going to be a little bit of a struggle for the bulls at this level which has been apparent based on the chart. Once it breaks 11.7K for a few days, it should continue a volatile bullish run in 2018.
Technical analysis works for me too, this is my saviour and traders or even hodlers should know this thing. It seems like the volume of bitcoin every time it hit $11k are getting weaker but I believe it can break that level in the coming days, so be patient and bitcoin will fly high again.
BTC is going to break 11.7K this month IMO and produce higher highs based on the technicals of the chart. Some fundamentals apply like mass adoption, but I think the technicals rule this market.
Regarding mass adoption, there is Metcalfe's law which states 'the value of a telecommunications network is proportional to the square of the number of connected users of the system (n2)'. With worldwide adoption of BTC, the user base continues to grow, so the value should continue to go up... HodL'ing long term is a good idea as BTC has not seen complete mass adoption yet...
