Bitcoin Price Key Highlights Bitcoin price recently encountered resistance at the top of the symmetrical triangle visible on its 4-hour and daily time frames.
This was enough to send price back to the bottom of the chart pattern and test support at $380.
Technical indicators are suggesting that another climb to the triangle resistance might take place.
