The BTC/USD price has come back on the hourly chart on pretty thin volume but it is still building.

It was a pretty convincing break at 4 am London time last night.

The value area on the chart stands at 10,299.00 and there is the potential that price could come all the way back there.

The base case scenario is a test of the formation and a move back to lower level.
