BTC mechanics:

Technical analysis

• Price has broken out from the local resistance of the top border of the descending wedge and the local horizontal resistance of $63,400.
• Price is now at the upper end of the 7-8 month price range, and prodding into the $68,000 to $68,900 horizontal resistance zone.
• Beyond $69k, the price is essentially breaking out, and things can get exciting.
• To the downside, $63,400 should act as new major support, with $66,000 a local level of support.
• The RSI is at 67, which on the Daily timeframe is very close to being overbought. The oscillator hasn't been this overbought since mid-July.

• Next Support: $63,400
• Next Resistance: $68,900
• Direction: Bearish/Neutral
• Upside Target: $68,900
• Downside Target: $63,400

Cryptonary's take

Price action has been really strong, particularly considering we're now just a few weeks out from what investors consider a very uncertain event - the US Elections.

However, with Trump's odds improving in the betting markets following Harris' car crash Fox News interview, risk assets, and Crypto have begun pricing in a Trump win.

In the short-term, it's possible that BTC will correct this, possibly targeting $66,000 or, worse, $63,400. We're now at the upper resistance in the larger range with the oscillator now close to overbought.

BTC still feels like a coiled spring, ready to pop and go higher, however we're sceptical that this happens pre-Election. However, beyond that, we think a Trump win could be that catalyst that gets us well beyond new all-time highs.
