BTC price analysis: 4 Hr Chart

A falling wedge pattern has been spotted on the 4 hour chart, with BTC breaking out 01/29 thanks to Tesla’s Elon Musk changing his Twitter Bio to “#Bitcoin”. Later that day, BTC price quickly fell back to key support of $33000 also met with the top trend line of the falling wedge patter. This particular movement can be looked at as a breakout and confirmation (retest).

Trading above $35,700 could help confirm the upswing to resistance level of $40,000. This type of movement can send Bitcoin to new all time highs. Note that a break under the 50MA could send BTC price falling under the weekly support of $30000.

While looking at the volume, we can conclude buyers are still very present in this market as the volume reached a near all time high (coinbase). The Relative Strength Index briefly touched the 70 value (dotted line) before returning back at median levels of 50 as the price fell sharply from 38000.
