Bitcoin Price is Eyeing More Upsides
After correcting lower towards the $44,000 level, bitcoin price started a fresh upward move. BTC broke the $46,000 resistance level and remained stable above the 100 hourly simple moving average.
As a result, the bulls were able to push the price above the $47,000 and $47,500 resistance levels. The price is now trading nicely above $48,000 and it even carved a new all-time high at $48,680. It is now consolidating gains above the $48,000 level.
An initial support is near the $47,570 level. It is close to the 23.6% Fib retracement level recent wave from the $44,005 swing low to $48,680 high. There is also a key contracting triangle pattern forming with support near $47,000 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair.
The triangle support is close to the 50% Fib retracement level recent wave from the $44,005 swing low to $48,680 high. On the upside, the $48,500 region is a short-term resistance. The next key resistance might be near the $49,400 level. The overall price action suggests that bitcoin bulls might aim a test of $50,000 in the near term.
