What is the Next Direction for Bitcoin?
According to the daily chart, BTC/USD is trading at $59,200 and displays an intraday gain of 0.82%. However, the prevailing trend is ranging from expanding volatility as the first digital asset continues to consolidate in a bullish flag pattern. Meanwhile, a breakout out from this pattern is supposed to continue in the direction of the previous trend. In this case, traders expect BTC/USD to rise above $60,000 resistance before moving towards the potential resistance levels at $64,000, $66,000, and $68,000.
Furthermore, should Bitcoin price failed to remain above the moving averages; the price could drop below this barrier and may head towards the $57,000 vital support.

BTC/USD Medium – Term Trend: Ranging (1H Chart)
On the 1-hour chart, we can see that the bears are now stepping back into the market, trading below the 9-day and 21-day moving averages. Meanwhile, the $58,200 and below may be visited if BTC/USD breaks below the lower boundary of the channel.
However, if the buyers can push the market to the north, we may expect a retest at the $59,000 resistance level. Breaking the mentioned resistance may further allow the bulls to test the $59,500 and above on the upside but the technical indicator RSI (14) is moving towards the 40-level, indicating some bearish signals.
