An immediate support is near the $10.750 level. Moreover, there is a major ascending channel forming with support at $10,700 on the 4-hours chart of the BTC/USD pair.

Additionally, the main support is near the $10.500 level, below which there are chances of an extended decline in the near term.
The next major support is near the $10,200 and $10,000 support levels. The 50% Fib retracement level of the last upward move from the $9,125 low to $10,941 high is also likely to act as a support. Moreover, the 100 SMA is also near the $10,050 level, which is likely to act as a strong support. On the upside, there is a key resistance near the $11,000 level.
If there is an upside break above the $11,00 level, there are chances of more gains. If there is a successful close above the $11,000 resistance, the next stop for the bulls could be near the $11,200 level. Overall, any further upsides will most likely push the price towards the $11,500 and $11,650 levels.
