Bitcoin price has in the past one week nurtured an uptrend within an ascending channel. The channel resistance continues to cap movement to the north at the same time, channel support is functioning as a bounce wall in support of the bullish trend.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is pointing sharply upwards to show that buyers are in the driver’s seat and are not afraid to step on the throttle. The widening gap between the 50 SMA and the 100 SMA also doubles down on the increasing buying activities. It is just a matter of time before Bitcoin goes back to trading above $7,400 and eventually reaching out towards $8,000.
