After weeks of relative stability in the price of BTC, where we have seen pricing remain relatively stable, it appears as though the first signs of a possible upside breakout on the horizon.

Considering the recent fall that we have seen in the precious metals and other sectors of the financial markets along with a higher dollar, BTC futures are holding up rather well. Since yesterday’s press conference with Chairman Powell and the renewed dot plot was released, many sectors, especially the safe-havens sold off drastically.

Bitcoin futures are trading unchanged to fractionally higher on the day at $40,250. It was exactly one week ago today when BTC traded off the bottom of its range at roughly $30,000, which is the .618% Fibonacci retracement ($30,790).

Bitcoin futures are trading unchanged to lower after hitting a high of $38,460 are currently fixed at $36,270. Bitcoin is likely to remain within its current range for the foreseeable future until a break to either side occurs. Now, support remains at $30,000 and resistance at $41,000.

Bitcoin futures have been in a defined downtrend since the third week of April after hitting an all-time high in the middle of the month at approximately $65,000. In the following four weeks, BTC futures trade inside of a newly formed downward channel until mid-May when pricing fell outside of the channel, dropping from $46,000 down to $30,000 before making a shallow but swift recovery.
