Bitcoin price action has confirmed the importance of the resistance at the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement. If bulls manage to break above this level then we should expect Bitcoin to continue higher at least for the near term. If resistance at $30,765 is broken, then our next upside target will be the 38% Fibonacci retracement at $34,000 or the blue resistance trend line. Until then, price is vulnerable to a move lower.
