Bitcoin prices have now reached a new record high of USD 44,510.89 (as on 9 February 2021), and on following the daily chart, it could be seen that the currency has now given a breakout of the previous resistance level surpassing the previous record high.
- Also, the currency has given a breakout from a wedge like formation after showing a breakdown of a symmetrical triangle. However, the bears were unable to pull the currency down after the breakdown, and bulls once again dominated to keep the Bitcoin prices buoyant.
- At present, BTC has given a volatility breakout with prices crossing the +2 Standard Deviation of the 20-day simple Bollinger Band®, thanks to the Tesla trigger.
- The ability of the currency to sustain this breakout would further propel bullish sentiments ahead.
The upper line of the wedge-like pattern is the primary support for the currency, followed by a major support around the previous high at USD 42,100.00.
Also, the recent rush in prices is getting good support from large volumes, which could confirmed the upward sloping On Balance Volume (OBV) indicator which is in tandem with the price action.
