BITCOIN Short-term analysis on the Falling Wedge

Bitcoin (BTCUSD) has been trading within Falling Wedge pattern on the short-term ever since April 11. The pattern is close to exhaustion point as the upper (Lower Highs) and lower (Lower Lows) trend-lines are getting too narrow. The direction to which the price breaks, should determine the trend of the next 2 weeks.

The MA periods on the 4H time-frame play a critical part to this as the 4H MA200 (orange trend-line) rejected the price on April 21, while the 4H MA100 (green trend-line) has done so on Apr 26 and 28. Right now the price broke above the 4H MA50 (blue trend-line) and is approaching the 4H MA100, which is the first Resistance and happens to be almost exactly on the Falling Wedge's Lower Highs (top) trend-line. A candle close above it, should be enough to extend the rise to the 4H MA200 even intra day but it is the potential break above the 4H MA200 that should really have our attention. In that case we may most likely see a strong rebound to the 1D MA200 (red trend-line) which caused the rejection on March 28 and practically started this correction, that could happen converge on the 0.786 Fibonacci retracement level.

It is worth noting that while the price action was on Lower Lows (of the Falling Wedge naturally), the 4H RSI has been rising on Higher Lows, posting therefore a Bullish Divergence. That gives more probabilities to a break-out to the upside. If the Wedge breaks to the downside though, the next level of Support to look for should be the -0.236 Fibonacci extension at around 34900.
