On the daily timeframe, the MACD histogram shows increasing momentum and the Chaikin Money Flow oscillator (CMF) is also above 0 and rising in tandem with the price. As Bitcoin price works its way toward setting a high above $6,905, the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level ($7,088) is likely to be a challenging resistance level to overcome.
If the price can push above this level, traders anticipate Bitcoin will continue its stair-step pattern on toward $7,650. For day traders a breakout above $7,685 is likely to see the price rise to the upper Bollinger Band arm at $6,983, or even $7,088.
In the event of a reversal that pushes the price below $6,450, there is also strong support and a high volume VPVR node at $6,200.
