Believe it or not, Bitcoin has barely moved in 11+ weeks. However, prices may be getting ready to move again.
The first pattern on the chart is the tight ascending triangle with its top around $59,000. Are traders be watching for a breakout through the psychologically important $60,000 level?
Next, consider the failed breakdown in late April. BTCUSD attempted to crash through $50,000. Buyers quickly defended that level, resulting in a higher low versus its trough in late February.
Prices also bounced the 100-day simple moving average (SMA) -- its first test of that line since early October. They’ve now clawed back above the 50-day SMA. The 8- and 21-day exponential moving averages (EMAs) are additionally moving above the 50-day SMA. That’s a sign of intermediate momentum getting more bullish.
Finally, MACD has turned positive in May after falling most of the previous two months.
