“...Right now, we are in a bubble, the crypto world is absolutely, definitely in a bubble. I don’t think there are many people who would deny that.”

Technically, BTC/USD has returned inside a triangular formation with the lower line currently at $7,400. While this development is regarded as a bullish sign, we still need to see follow through with a sustainable movement above $7,500. Once this level is cleared, the recovery may extend towards the first aim at $7,683 (23.6% Fibo) followed by $8,000.
