TA: Bitcoin Inching Higher, Why BTC Could Rally To New ATH Above $20K

Bitcoin price is up over 5% and it is trading above the $19,500 level against the US Dollar. BTC bulls seem to be aiming a new all-time high above the $20,000 resistance.

  • Bitcoin is rising steadily and it broke a major hurdle at $19,500.
  • The price traded as high as $19,860 and it is now well above the 100 hourly simple moving average.
  • There is a key contracting triangle forming with resistance near $19,800 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair (data feed from Kraken).
  • The pair could start a strong surge once it clears the $19,800 and $19,850 levels.

Bitcoin Price is Approaching $20K

Yesterday, we saw the start of a decent increase in bitcoin price above the $18,500 resistance. BTC remained in a positive zone and cleared the $19,000 resistance.

The price even climbed above the $19,500 resistance and traded to a new 2020. Bitcoin price traded as high as $19,860 and it is now well above the 100 hourly simple moving average. There was a minor downside correction recently below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent wave from the $18,335 swing low to $19,860 high.

There was a spike below the $19,200 level, but dips were limited. The 50% Fib retracement level of the recent wave from the $18,335 swing low to $19,860 high acted as a strong support.

Bitcoin formed a support base near $19,200 and it is currently trading above $19,500. There is also a key contracting triangle forming with resistance near $19,800 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair.

If there is a clear break above the triangle resistance and $19,860, the price could start a strong surge in the coming sessions. In the stated case, the bulls might aim a new all-time high above the $20,000 level.

Downside Correction in BTC?

If bitcoin fails to clear the triangle resistance at $19,800, there could be a short-term downside correction. An initial support on the downside is near the triangle lower trend line at $19,550.

A clear break below the triangle support might start an extended decline towards $19,200. The next major support below the $19,200 level is near the $18,800 level (a multi-touch zone).

Technical indicators:

Hourly MACD – The MACD is slowly losing momentum in the bullish zone.

Hourly RSI (Relative Strength Index) – The RSI for BTC/USD is currently correcting lower from the 70 level.

Major Support Levels – $19,550, followed by $19,200.

Major Resistance Levels – $19,800, $19,860 and $20,000.

Five Bitcoin Price Charts Analyzing The Dramatic Q1 2022 Conclusion

There are only hours remaining until the Q1 2022 close in Bitcoin price action. With the important quarterly candle set to close tonight, let’s look at what technicals might say about the direction of the next quarter. Q1 2022 Comes To A Close For Bitcoin The first quarter of a year, often sets the tone for the year to come. In investments, a poor Q1 performance is indicative of a bad year ahead. Considering the fact that Bitcoin price is now above $45,000 after touching $32,000 this quarter, it is tough to say the performance has been “poor” by anything other than crypto standards.

ENS DAO delegates offer perspective on DAO governance and decentralized identity

AlphaWallet CEO and Spruce co-founder talk about their roles as contributors to the Ethereum Name Service following the project's recent airdrop. Earlier this month, the Ethereum Name Service, or ENS, formed a decentralized autonomous organization, or DAO, for the ENS community.  Cointelegraph spoke to two ENS DAO delegates who applied for the opportunity to represent the community and stay involved in the decision making process: Victor Zhang, CEO of AlphaWallet, an open source Ethereum wallet, and Gregory Rocco, co-founder of Spruce, a decentralized ID and data toolkit for developers.

How Social Platform Chingari is Using Web 3.0 to Transform the Traditional Way We Use Social Media

The world is changing. This isn’t news to anyone, but sometimes it is nice to realize that—contrary to news headlines—not all the change is bad.  In fact, the last decade has seen so much innovation and so many improvements to technology that even 2015 seems like a different world.  Internet speeds, connecting with anyone globally (for free), and our ability to reach large groups of people without a middleman is nothing short of revolutionary. When it comes to technology evolution, this often happens with different iterations.  Once a system is mature, there’s a better idea of what we would like to change and improve.  We go back to the drawing board, target our creative minds at the issues, and create a new version that has evolved to better meet our needs.  The Internet has followed this model since its inception, evolving through three distinct stages.  We are only at the cusp of the third stage, called Web 3.0, with technologies such as blockchain and ...
