The intraday recovery of 0.58%, driving the BTC price higher to $97,000, completes a breakout above the 38.20% Fibonacci level. Currently, the recovery run in Bitcoin aims to reach the 50% Fibonacci level at $98,490.
With two consecutive bullish candles, the momentum is clearly increasing. Furthermore, the daily RSI line is nearing the halfway level, reflecting a surge in momentum.
BTC Price Targets
As Bitcoin rises back from the local support trendline, it is now challenging the 20-day EMA at $97,543. The recent crossover between the 20-day and 50-day EMA lines reflects the short-term reversal in Bitcoin.
However, a bullish continuation above the 50-day EMA at $97,817 will reinstate the bullish alignment. As per the Fibonacci levels, a breakout above the 50% Fibonacci level will likely increase the chances of Bitcoin reclaiming the $100,000 mark.
On the flip side, the crucial support levels for Bitcoin remain the local support trend line near the $96,000 mark and the $94,377 horizontal level.
