Following the previous idea on Bitcoin, the 4/1 Gann Fan has been rejected, along with the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level at $6170. BTC/USD started to move up and currently reached the 61.8% Fibs at $6550.
This is a very strong resistance for Bitcoin, because it is also corresponds with the 200 Moving Average. In order for the uptrend to begin, price has to break and close above both, $61.8% Fib resistance and the 200 Moving Average on a daily time-frame.
Break above should confirm Bitcoin bullish intention and could send the price up to the $8820 resistance, that is confirmed by two Fibonacci retracement levels and corresponds to the uptrend trendline.
But, if the current resistance will hold, the consolidation could take place. BTC/USD could be trapped between $6170 and $6550 for some time. In this case break above the resistance or below the support would determine further Bitcoin direction.
