BITCOIN Testing the most important long-term Resistance levels!

Bitcoin (BTCUSD) is currently on a strong +17% four day rally, the strongest since July 29. By doing so, it is about to test the important short-term Resistance of 22000, formed off the August 24 High. There is however a trend-line and cluster of critical Resistance levels on the long-term as well that the price is about to hit, and outweigh by far the short-term technicals.

** The ATH trend-line and Bullish - Bearish extremes **
That is the Lower Highs trend-line that started on the November 10 2021 All Time High (ATH). Basically this is the Lower Highs trend-line of the Channel Down pattern (log scale) that has been dominating the price action for most of the past 10 months. As you see on this 1D chart, the price has broken outside of this Channel Down twice these past 10 months. Once on March 22 where it made a Bullish Extreme but still was contained below the 1.382 Fibonacci extension and once on June 18 where it made a Bearish extreme but still was contained above the -0.382 Fibonacci extension.

** The 1D MA100 **
The last time BTC attempted a break above the ATH trend-line was on the August 15 High where it wasn't just rejected on the top of the Channel Down but also on the 1D MA100 (green trend-line). Excluding the Bullish Extreme, the price has been trading below the 1D MA100 since December 03 2021 with three clear rejections on it. At the moment, the 1D MA100 is trading exactly on the ATH trend-line and has been doing so since the August 15 rejection. It is obvious that at the moment, this is the most important Resistance Zone that BTC is facing.

A break and close above it though doesn't 'guarantee' the end of the long-term Bearish Trend as that took place when it broke on March 22 but was still rejected on the 1.382 Fib ext. As you realize, only a break above the 1.382 Fib turns the odd in favor of a long-term Bullish reversal and can sustain a rally invalidating bearish bias of March 29 - April 05. On a different occasion, the 10 month Channel Down will continue to dictate the trend.


But what do you think is going to happen? Will a close above the ATH line and the 1D MA100 accumulate enough buyers to finally push above the 1.382 tolerance level and into a new Bull rally or we will get again rejected and stay within the long-term Channel Down?
