BTC scales higher
On the daily time frame, the BTC looks promising after the recent consolidation breakout. BTC is continuously forming a ‘Drop-base-Drop Structure’ in the medium term resulting in the downside momentum. But now, that structure has been changed. BTC formed a Base-drop-Rally that resulted in the recent breakout of a range after consolidating in the $18,000-$20,000 price zone.
The BTC price is comfortably placed above the 20-day and 50-day EMA. A daily close above $24,000 would next see $26,000 on the horizon.
