- There is a key contracting triangle forming with resistance near $39,425 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair (data feed from Kraken).

Bitcoin Price Gains Traction
After a successful break and a follow up move above $36,000, bitcoin price started a strong increase. BTC broke a couple of key hurdles near the $38,000 level to move further into a bullish zone.
The price gained pace and broke the $39,200 resistance. It even spiked above the $40,000 resistance and settled above the 100 hourly simple moving average. A high is formed near the $40,212 level and the price is currently consolidating gains.
It corrected below the $39,500 and $39,200 levels. A low is formed near $38,052 level and the price is currently forming a breakout pattern. It climbed above the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $40,212 high to $38,052 low.
It seems like there is a key contracting triangle forming with resistance near $39,425 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair. The triangle resistance is close to the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $40,212 high to $38,052 low.
If there is a clear upside break above the triangle resistance, the price could clear the $40,000 level. In the stated case, bitcoin price might aim a strong surge and the bulls are likely to aim a new all-time high in the coming sessions.
Fresh Dip in BTC?
If bitcoin fails to clear the triangle resistance and $40,000, there is a risk of a fresh decline. An initial support is near the $38,500 level.
A downside break below the $38,500 and $38,000 support levels may possibly push the price towards the main $36,000 support zone in the near term.
