BTC/USD price action formed a bullish flag pattern structure, which has been in play since 3rd April. The bulls today have forced a breakout so far via the daily candlestick, a closure above will be key for greater upside.

Technically, some near-term supply can be observed around the $5800 area, the last barrier ahead of $6000 return. Looking further to the north, then there isn’t too much in the way of a move back towards $6500.
