Today, December 24, amid growing trading volumes, the price of Bitcoin continues its upward movement to the level of $ 4,400, which represents a serious level of resistance .
As CoinDesk analyst Sebastian Sinclair notes, the first cryptocurrency turned out to be inside a “symmetrical triangle” , which held back the price of $ 3,788 and $ 4,153 for four days.
BTC has already tried to go beyond the upper limit of this geometric figure, however, it encountered powerful resistance from the bears. After that, the price abruptly rolled back approximately to the middle of the range indicated above:

Four hour schedule
The nearest significant resistance level is $ 4441.
The Chaikin Money Flow ( CMF ) and Chaikin Oscillator indicators have begun to signal bullish sentiment and a psychological retest of $ 4000.
It should also be noted that green candles are often formed against the background of growing trading volumes, which confirms the thesis about the determination of buyers.
Weekly schedule
The price managed to rise above $ 4,103, corresponding to the closing price as of November 26. There is a high probability of a reversal, since the last two candles are quite large, they have almost no shadows, and they are formed against the background of fairly high trading volumes. Moreover, their bodies green candles absorb red.
Summary:
– as expected, the “symmetrical triangle” is likely to fulfill its role as a trend continuation pattern
– confirmation of the exit of the price from the "triangle" should be a surge in trading volumes at the time of the breakdown of the upper limit of the figure
– a radical change in mood occurs if the price fails below $ 3,650.
Recall, previously known trader Peter Brandt expressed the opinion that at the moment any bitcoin price movement above $ 4,000 is nothing more than a “dead cat jump”.
