Bitcoin update

After reaching a local low of $30,000 on May 19, BTC bounced considerably. It created a higher low on May 23 and followed it up with a bullish engulfing candlestick the next day.

So far, it has reached a high of $39,791. This is very close to the 0.382 Fib retracement resistance found at $41,201. The next resistance would likely be found at $48,170.

Technical indicators are showing bullish signs. While the Stochastic oscillator is still bearish, the RSI has generated a bullish divergence and crossed above 30. 

In addition, the MACD has created the first higher momentum bar, potentially signaling a bullish reversal.
