After making a new life high just shy of $67,000 on 20th Oct, Bitcoin has been consolidating in a range, but with a small downward bias for the past few sessions. Trends are definitely up on longer timeframes but we also note lower top formations on smaller time frames like on 4-hour charts.
The short-term weakness, however, is expected to give away to the longer term uptrend in the near future. The first evidence of resumption of uptrend will come when prices go above $62,550, which is the first resistance at present. Once this resistance is taken out, $64,900 followed by $67,000 becomes the next possible target for Bitcoin.
On the lower side, BTC has support at $59,700 and $58,590 levels. There is also a golden cross over of 21- & 50- bar averages on a 4-hour chart. But this bullish signal will gain confirmation only when prices successfully go past $62,550 level.
