BTC/USD technical analysis: Some important technical patterns are on the hourly chart
|- There is a wedge pattern on the hourly chart that could confirm a bullish directional break.
- After the channel breakout on the chart, the market has pulled back to retrace near 8,200.
BTC/USD has clearly broken out on the upside from the channel formation.
Now the price has consolidated into a wedge formation and a break higher could be on the cards.
Price is under the main value area which is represented by the volume profile indicator on the right-hand side of the chart.
The relative strength index indicator (RSI) has a trendline at the top and a break above could confirm a bullish move.
On the downside, a break below the 8k support is the level to keep an eye on but a break of the wedge formation would be first.
