That notwithstanding, the odds continue to favor the upside. This is because the RSI remains northbound, suggesting momentum is still rising, and often precipitates a continued rise in the Bitcoin price.<\/p>\n<p>It is also imperative to note that the bulls continue to show resilience, evidenced by the presence of large volumes of histogram bars on both the Awesome Oscillator (AO) and the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) in positive territory.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the MACD is still moving above its signal line (orange band), which shows a strong bullish cycle in play.<\/p>\n<p>If investors increase their buying power, the Bitcoin price could enhance the gains, likely shattering resistance due to the upper boundary of the channel. Such a move would bring the $55,000 blockade into focus and would constitute a climb of about 6% from current levels.<\/p>\n<p>In a highly bullish case, the Bitcoin price could extend a neck higher to the $60,000 psychological level, which would denote a 15% move from the current price.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/insidebitcoins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/BTCUSDT_2024-02-15_15-07-58.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-481020 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/insidebitcoins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/BTCUSDT_2024-02-15_15-07-58.png\" alt=\"Bitcoin\" width=\"1273\" height=\"544\" srcset=\"https:\/\/insidebitcoins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/BTCUSDT_2024-02-15_15-07-58.png 1273w, https:\/\/insidebitcoins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/BTCUSDT_2024-02-15_15-07-58-300x128.png 300w, https:\/\/insidebitcoins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/BTCUSDT_2024-02-15_15-07-58-1024x438.png 1024w, https:\/\/insidebitcoins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/BTCUSDT_2024-02-15_15-07-58-768x328.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1273px) 100vw, 1273px\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/x\/40LF2mZ3\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TradingView: BTC\/USDT 1-day chart<\/a><\/p>\n<h4><strong>Converse Case<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>However, if profit booking ensues, the Bitcoin price could descend to test the midline of the ascending parallel channel.
