It seems that a bullish trend line has now formed with support near $11,650. If the top crypto holds above $11,725 in the coming sessions, it is likely to rally higher and aim a test at $12K.
On the downside, a failure to close above the $11,800 resistance could result in a downward correction. In this scenario, BTC will likely retract back to the initial support near $11,600.
BTC Price Achieves Monthly Close above Key Resistance
BTC managed to do what many thought would be complicated by closing August above $11,500.

Analysts at blockchain analytics firm Santiment pointed to the rising number of ETH coins held in exchanges as an indicator that the asset will soon extend to the upside.
Simultaneously, ETH whales have cumulatively increased their holdings over 8 % in the past few weeks, suggesting accumulation.
These two indicators will likely cause the ETH price to rally due to supply-demand dynamics.
Moreover, the recent launch of ETH vaults by DeFi protocol Yearn Finance will provide a lucrative investment vehicle for investors, further boosting ETH’s value.
