On the hourly timeframe there are some small developments with bitcoin that are nonetheless deserving of one's attention.
Just prior to the weekend, BTC put in a low, followed by a dramatic move to the downside which put in a lower low. However, if we look to the Relative Strength Index, we can see that a low was also put in but after that, a higher low was painted. This of course would be referred to as bullish divergence. Over the weekend, while trading volume is low, the price simply consolidated sideways but the question now is are we due for a move to the upside off of this divergence on the RSI, or was the consolidation it?
The price around 30450 has been stubborn resistance as we have tested it 3 times now since the divergence was put in. This of course is bearish, but... levels, as they are tested over and over again, typically break and give way the more they are tested. And if this level were to finally give in, it would not be a surprise to see a run to 30833 occur.
This would be a nice target area for profit taking. But if 30450 can flip as support theres reason to believe that an attempt to push even higher would be in the cards.
Keep an eye on this as the new trading week gets underway today. We have been ranging sideways for a while now but theres no reason one cannot capitalize on the opportunities that present themselves until this range is finally broken.

Trade closed: target reached:
This is a good area to take most of your position off of the table for those that took this long.
