Bitcoin Break Out or Break Down?

Technical Analysis of Bitcoin

The flat bottom falling top in BTC, which has been as resistance since the beginning of June, was covered in our most recent article. This upper resistance line was tested five times, which tells us that it has followed the highs during the previous five months. As we inch closer to the ever-narrowing apex, BTC has yet to break out of its wedge shape.

Today, we'll take a closer look at a resistance trendline that stretches all the way back to the all-time high on November 21, 2021. The fact that this trendline starts at our all-time high and remained almost unbroken for such a long period offers us a signal that this may be an even more significant resistance line, even if it was only  challenged twice over its 11-month run.

It's interesting to note that on October 4, this upper trendline was broken above, creating a support zone for today's trade. Despite the fact that there may be support there right now, the falling trendline is still oriented downward and is positioned to reach support around about $18,500.
