If we see price push above the blue trendline then additional advance is possible. This is a useful bellwether for the immediate direction of trend. If price falls away from the trendline and below the 4-hour chart’s 200-period moving average (red), then the targets indicated with light-blue arrows open up at $370 and $350 (Bitstamp).
