Technical Analysis - Bitcoin
Bitcoin 4H Chart
Bitcoin has continued its upward move this weekend, and now it seems the price broke above the $7525 resistance level, which also meant it broke the descending trendline, which was guiding the persistent bearish action during the second half of 2019. A break of the $7,680 resistance level would confirm a higher high. What is evident is that the bullish leg still has room to go, as the price moves guided by the +1SD line of a Bollinger Band, which is pointing upwards, and the MACD is in the positive territory and still not in the oversold region.
