BTC/USD daily chart
The BTC/USD daily chart shows that the price is primed for a breakout from both a triangle and flag formation. The 50-day simple moving average (SMA 50) is trending above the SMA 20 curve to indicate a sell signal, which will mean that the market is entering the bearish territory. The moving average convergence/divergence (MACD) histogram shows that the market is getting less bullish over time, but the momentum is not quite drastic. This is evident when we check the relative strength index (RSI) curve as well. The curve is trending around the neutral 50.0 mark.
