BTC/USD Daily CHART SHORT TERM

Analyzing the daily chart above, we can see that Bitcoin cleanly broke the previous ascending triangle over the past 3-days as it went on to break above $7,000. It recently broke up above resistance at $7,175 which is provided by a bearish .618 Fibonacci Retracement level and is now using this as support moving forward.

Bitcoin is now certainly bullish in the short term but must break above $8,000 to turn bullish over a longer period of time.

If the buyers do continue higher above $7,500, the first level of resistance is located at $7,676 which is provided by a 1.618 Fibonacci Extension level. Above this, resistance lies at $8,073 (bearish .786 Fib Retracement), $8,200, and $8,600 (bearish .886 Fib Retracement).

On the other side, the first level of support is located at $7,175. Beneath this, support lies at $7,000, $6,800, $6,500, and $6,319.
