☝️ What to Expect Next After BTC/USD Break Above $50k ☝️

Dear traders,

Bitcoin (BTC/USD) has managed to break above the psychologically round level of $50k. Can the cryptocurrency challenge the previous high again?

Let’s review the long-term charts to analyse the remainder of the year 2021. Will the 2021 bull run outpace the 2017 bull run?

Price Charts and Technical Analysis

The BTC/USD is showing a strong bullish recovery after a deep bearish pullback:

• Price action has managed to break above the 21 ema zone again.
• The bullish momentum is expected to challenge the previous top (blue arrow).
• The previous top is a strong resistance zone and could stop the uptrend.
• A bearish retracement (orange arrows) could complete an ABC (blue) in wave 4 (pink).
• A bullish bounce (green arrow) could take place at the support zone (green box).
• A bull flag pattern (grey arrows) however indicates that the immediate uptrend remains valid. In that case, a wave 4’ finished at the recent low.

On the daily chart, we see that the bullish momentum is strong because price action remains above the 21 ema zone for a long time:

•  The bullish price swing is either a wave C or 3 (orange).
• This depends on the price reaction at the resistance zone (red box).
• A bearish reversal (red arrow) indicates a wave C and more bearish correction.
• A flag pattern (grey arrows) indicates a wave 3 continuation.
