If the bulls manage to push the price above the triangle resistance and $8,840, there are high chances of more upsides above the $8,900 resistance. In the mentioned case, the double top pattern is likely to invalidate and the price might rally above $9,000 in the near term.

If BTC price fails to climb above the triangle resistance and $8,840, it is likely to move down. The first key support is near the triangle at $8,640.

If there is a downside break, the bears may perhaps aim a clear break below the key $8,540 and $8,500 support levels. If they succeed, the price is likely to decline towards $8,200.
