At the time of writing, the BTC price is trading in a range of $4,889 to $5,668. It has created a short-term double-bottom which suggests that the price may soon break out from this range and head above $6,000. On a bullish note, looking at the technical indicator stochastic RSI, the signal lines have broken out from a descending resistance line which suggests that the Bitcoin price will once again move towards $5,500, which is the closest resistance level.
However, a strong bullish spike may take the price to $6,600, $6,800 and $7,000 resistance levels. Moreover, if the market makes a quick turn to the south, the BTC/USD price may likely drop to $4,000 and should this support fails to contain the sell-off, traders may see a further roll back to $3,800, $3,600 and critically $3,400. The stochastic RSI suggests an upward movement for the coin as the signal lines move towards the north.
