BTC/USD Challenges Upside Obstacles!

BTC/USD reached the median line (ml), 20,870 former high, and the weekly R1 (21,009). These represent upside obstacles, so only a valid breakout may signal an upside continuation.

Technically, we have a strong supply zone around these upside obstacles. False breakouts or a strong bearish pattern could announce a new sell-off. Still, in the short term, its failure to stay under 19,666 signaled strong upside pressure.

BTC/USD Forecast!

A valid breakout above the median line (ml) and through the R1 (21,009) could confirm further growth and could help the buyers to catch a larger swing higher.
