The BTC/CNY exchange charts are leading price into the resistance zone. Although the USD charts do not confirm the move, they tend to rapidly catch up when the market is gripped by rally fever.
There are no technical indications that imply that the BTCC chart, above, will definitely break through resistance, but this is often the case prior to a breakout.
To break above resistance, price must advance through the red zone. The zone’s upper boundary is drawn across the closing highs of late-December 2015.
Firstly, let’s acknowledge warnings of overbought conditions in the indicators:1) The stochastics oscillator (top) has held at its maximum for two days and is currently diverging from price, as indicated by the red dot.2) RSI (second from top) has entered a zone (magenta) from where price typically reverses.3) MACD has reached its upper Bollinger Band and is also diverging from price’s new recovery high.Taken in conjunction these indications warn that a price reversal is likely.
