This barrier is protected by Pivot Point 1-week Resistance 2, though a good momentum can take the price all the way higher to $4,000.
The Relative Strength Index is on the overbought territory, though there are no signs of reversal as of yet. It means that the bulls are still in control and ready to drive the price higher.
However, a sustainable movement under $3,600 with SMA100, 4-hour on approach will spoil the short-term picture and push BTC/USD towards the congestion zone $3,500-$3,480. Once below, the sell-off will gain traction with the next aim at $3,330 (SMA50, 4-hour) and $3,300.
