Technical analysis of Bitcoin on the evening of Tet 1
Bitcoin (BTC) is showing strong bullish signals on the intraday but has yet to break its short-term horizontal resistance levels.
Weekly Outlook
Bitcoin recovered slightly in the week of Jan. 23-30, creating a small bullish real body to fit in the previous week’s bearish candle.
Currently, both the RSI and the MACD are falling. The RSI, which is a momentum indicator, has fallen below 50 (red symbol). This is considered a sign of a downtrend. However, the last time the RSI dipped below this level, it made only one deviation (red circle) before resuming the uptrend.
Overall, the weekly timeframe shows a relatively bearish outlook.

Previously, the RSI had dipped below 30 before regaining the level twice:
- March 2020 – Nearly 1,000% surge ahead
- May 2021 – ahead of 122% increase
As such, this is a historically bullish sign and often signals that BTC has bottomed or is very close to a bottom.

The two-hour chart shows that BTC has broken the symmetrical triangle (green symbol) and is in the process of confirming it as support.
If it manages to reclaim the $37,800 resistance area, the main target will be between $40,000 and $40,300. This target area is found using the 0.618 length of the previous up move (white) and the 0.618 Fib retracement resistance.
