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.

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.
