Price Charts and Technical Analysis

The BTC/USD daily chart was in a downtrend with lower lows and lower highs after price action completed a rising wedge reversal chart pattern (dotted purple lines):

• Price action, however, respected the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement support level.
• A bullish bounce confirms the wave 4 pattern (pink) after an ABC (blue).
• Price has managed to break above 3 different resistance zones (dotted red lines).
• Price is now moving higher in a bullish channel (green lines).
• The momentum is strong because price action has stayed above the 21 ema high for more than 2 weeks and the 21 ema high and low also have a steep angle.
• The momentum and wave patterns suggest more bullishness to test the previous top (blue arrows).
• Bull flag patterns (orange arrows) would help confirm the bullish outlook.
• The previous tops have now become a support zone (green box).

On the 4 hour chart, price action is showing strength to the upside and corrective movements to the downside. The bulls are fully in control:

• The bullish price swing is probably a wave 3 (green). 
• A break above the -61.8% Fibonacci level would help confirm this outlook.
• A small retracement could take place but price action should respect the support zone (green).
• Any deeper retracement could place the current wave view on hold. In that case, a larger and deeper wave 1-2 pattern could take place.
• With a bullish continuation, price action should be in a wave 3 of wave 3.
