Future Movement

The two-hour chart is also bullish.

First, it shows that BTC has already broken out from a descending resistance line, which was the catalyst for the most recent upward movement.

Furthermore, BTC moved above the $27,800 resistance area after and validated it as support (shown with the green arrow below).

Similar to the daily time-frame, technical indicators are also bullish, supporting the possibility that BTC resumes its upward movement.

The wave count suggests that BTC is in sub-wave 5 (shown in black below) of wave 5 (orange).

A possible target for the formation to end would be at $29,800 (3.61 Fib extension of wave 1). The next resistance past that would likely be seen at $33,600.
