Chart Analysis:

Directional bias: 2 XBT/USD

XBT/USD chart shows that Bitcoin has been consolidating above the Key Support Level at $37500. Prices have been moving sideways between the parallel zone between support and resistance level on the chart for a while now. In this analysis, we see that the Support and Resistance levels have moved higher and the Pivot point has shifted upwards to $40700.

Bitcoin prices have set up three equal highs and 4 higher lows since January. The dilemma seems to be over for Bitcoin as there is the possibility of forming another high above $44000 and prices could move upward to find a higher high at $51000 Resistance zone after this. Once this level is reached then after forming another higher low, we could see a test of $60000 psychological level and the prices could move beyond.

The RSI Indicator shows that the prices are moving upwards towards 60 points and a further push is possible. The 50-day SMA red line is turning upwards and the 200-day SMA green line is taking a slight downturn. We could see a cross of SMA lines in a month, and this suggests a rally in the price action in the near future.
