This Simple Technical Breakout Pattern Could Trigger New Bitcoin Rally

Bitcoin

Bitcoin corrected lower, but it remained well bid above the $9,300 level against the US Dollar. BTC is currently consolidating and preparing for the next key break.

Bitcoin Remains In Uptrend

This past week, bitcoin started a downside correction from the $10,360 zone against the US Dollar. BTC price broke the $10,000 support zone and it even spiked below the $9,500 support.

However, the bulls were able to protect the $9,300 region and the 100 simple moving average (4-hours). A low is formed near the $9,308 level and it recently started a fresh increase.

There was a break above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $10,361 high to $9,308 low. Bitcoin even climbed above the $9,500 and $9,600 levels. On the upside, the $9,800 zone seems to be acting as a strong barrier.

The 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $10,361 high to $9,308 low also prevented more upsides. The price is now trading in a range above the $9,600 level.

There is also a crucial contracting triangle forming with resistance near $9,700 on the 4-hours chart of the BTC/USD pair. If there is a clear break above the triangle resistance near $9,700 and then $9,800, the price could accelerate higher towards $10,000.

Any further gains could open the doors for a larger upward move towards the $10,200 and $10,300 levels in the near term.

Downsides Could be Limited in BTC

If bitcoin breaks the triangle support zone, it could correct again below the $9,500 level. The first major support is near the $9,400 level and the 100 simple moving average (4-hours).

The main support is near the $9,300 level, below which the bears are likely to gain strength and the price might dive towards the $8,800 level.
