  • A major bullish trendline is forming on the hourly chart of the BTC / USD pair (data feed from Kraken) with support near USD 31,000.

However, the price failed to break the $ 33,800 resistance zone. It looks like it failed near the 61.8% fib retracement level of the downside correction from a swing high of $ 34,780 to a swing low of $ 32,333.
