Looking at the daily chart, we noticed that yesterday Bitcoin lost nearly 38% of its value then moved to a lower trading zone $4.923- $4.186. Today, the price has tested the low end then surged towards $5.625. A close above this level may cause a rally towards $6.540. Further close above that level could send the price even higher towards $7.771. Although, the daily resistance levels underlined on the chart should be kept in focus.
On the other hand, any close below the low end of the zone may encourage bears to press towards $2.980. Further close below that level could mean more bearishness towards $1.241. Yet, the daily and weekly levels marked on the chart should be considered as some traders might exit/join the market around these points.
