BTC\/USD<\/a> is flexing muscles above the critical resistance level. The coin moves above $17,700 to touch the daily high of $17,880 but now trading at $17,595 at the time of writing. The first digital asset is moving with strong bullish momentum above the 9-day and 21-day moving averages after a sustainable break above an important technical level.<\/p>\nWhat to Expect from Bitcoin (BTC)<\/h4>\n
As the Bitcoin breaks above the upper boundary of the channel, the return above $17,800 could set the framework for gains towards $18,200. Meanwhile, the technical analysis shows that the bulls are ready for another action especially when the up-trending RSI (14) is considered. Any further bullish movement above the daily high could pave the way for gains above $18,500. Other resistance levels may be located at $18,600, $18,800, and 19,000.<\/p>\n
On the other hand, if the price falls back below the $17,000 level, breaking below the moving averages may cause the bears to wrestle out the control over the situation very quickly. This may likely serve as a major blow for the market sentiments as traders could interpret it as a sign of underlying weakness. The next important support may come at $16,500 while other supports may be located at $16,000, $15,800, and $15,600.<\/p>\n
