On a weekly timeframe, Bitcoin is up 40% (!). Yesterday, we highlighted an ascending price channel, as shown on the following short term’s 4-hour chart. Toward the end of yesterday, Bitcoin surged above the channel’s upper boundary and continued towards a new ATH.
However, it could not close a 4-hour candle above the critical resistance at $47,350 (1.272 Fib Extension – yellow) and has since dropped lower.
Over the past hours, Bitcoin went on an expected correction following the massive daily rally (from $39K to $48K), reaching as low as $45,000 but quickly rebounded to reach the area where it trades now. BTC price remains above the ascending price channel and very likely to continue surging toward the psychological level of $50,000.
