Future movement

The six-hour chart shows that BTC broke out through an ascending parallel channel and then bounced off the resistance line of the channel (green symbol). This suggests the resistance line will now act as support.

However, unlike the daily timeframe, there are some signs of weakness as both the RSI and MACD create bearish divergences. This means that the rise in price is not accompanied by an increase in momentum and could lead to a correction.

Count waves

The wave count shows that BTC is on the fifth and final wave of a bullish pulse (black). This means that after the current upward movement has finished, the price can correct itself for a period of time.

BTC is currently in the first zone, which is likely to act as the spike. This zone is created by the 1.61 length of wave one (white) and the 0.618 length of wave 1-3 (black), both of which are projected into the bottom of wave 4.

If the move continues, the next zone that can act as a top is around $ 69,000 to $ 70,000. This area is formed by a length of 2.61 of wave one (white) and a length of 1: 1 of wave 1-3 (black).

In terms of long-term wave numbers, BTC also appears to be within the long-term (red) five-year wave of a bullish impulse that began in December 2018. As a result, the upward trend has been going on for almost three years. The number of partial waves is displayed in white.

The tentative target for the top of this move is between $ 107,000 and $ 117,000. This target is found using the external fib retracement level of 2.61 of wave four (black) and the length of 1: 1.61 of waves 1-3 (red).

Such fib retracement levels are used to find resistance when prices hit all-time highs.
