Bitcoin Price Analysis

In the 4-hour chart, BTC price action shows a continuation of the bullish trend after a minor retest of the 20-day moving average. This resulted in a 24-hour low of $97,319.

However, with the Morning Star pattern, the bullish recovery has brought the price to $101,446. Additionally, the recovery began with an RSI divergence rally around the $90,000 mark and is now completing a rounding bottom pattern.

The neckline of the rounding bottom pattern is at the $102,557 supply zone. With the ongoing recovery, the golden crossover between the 50- and 200-day EMAs, as well as the positive crossover between the 100- and 200-day EMAs, have regained positive alignment.

Furthermore, the 4-hour RSI is now approaching the overbought boundary, indicating a high possibility of a breakout rally according to technical indicators.
