one final $BTCUSD chart ahead of the weekend bc I think this is going to remain on the move.
35k support has held for now, but prices are testing a big zone of prior resistance (same that held the high on tues morning).
break down/out levels in purple below

$usd trying to put on a Friday breakout ahead of the close, technically just set a fresh three-week-high
not sure if it'll have the push to get up there but next res level i'm looking for is ~91 in $DXY https://t.co/qh2f97Ec1u https://t.co/INmUxVMYR4
