  18-12-2017 15:33 via newsbtc.com

It appears currently that there is a massive amount of support near the $650 handle.

Over the weekend, we trying to break above the $20,000 level, but failed a bit. Ultimately, it looks as if the market is trying to build up the confidence to break above the $20,000 level, which of course will have a certain amount of psychological resistance.
