Bitcoin price rose again above the USD 26,500 resistance. There was also a break above a large contraction triangle with resistance near USD 26,800 on the hourly chart of the BTC / USD pair. The pair is now trading above the $ 27,000 level.

Initial resistance to the upside is near the $ 27,275 level. A significant break above the $ 27,275 resistance could open the doors for a new run towards the $ 28,000 and $ 28,400 levels in the short term.
