CRYPTO VIEW: Bullish pattern formation likely for Bitcoin

Bitcoin gained over 4% yesterday, to edge above the $20,000 level.

The trading volumes were significantly lower in the last 3 to 4 days, but the majority were buyers.

Although the market sentiment continued to remain in the “extreme fear” zone, the index is at its highest in almost two months, an indication that investors are slowly warming up towards the crypto markets.

The daily trend for BTC continues to move within a descending channel pattern.

An immediate resistance is expected at $32,300 and the next key support is expected at $14,000. The daily RSI has recovered back to nearly 36, emerging out of the oversold zone.

Going by the market sentiment and the technical indicators, we could potentially see formation of bullish pattern.
