On the 12-hour chart, the MACD is on the verge of a bull cross after the bounce from the overextended RSI. There are very few resistance levels on the way up to $80 besides the Moving Averages. The MACD in combination with the RSI should serve as a good buy signal considering the crash didn't leave too many resistance levels on the way down.
