BITCOIN / U.S. DOLLAR

Price Analysis

Bitcoin is trading inside an ascending triangle pattern back formed on the one-day chart below.

As all, the twenty-day exponential MA, Bollinger Bands including the basis, and the fifty-day MA still continue sloping upwards trying to give bullish results, bulls need to gain back some more momentum and increase strength to push the asset above the ascending triangle soon. Traders and investors are filling in more at the dips and waiting for the asset to escalate above the $12325 level.
