After bouncing off the $47,000 psychological level on October 04, bulls regained control of the BTC market pushing the big crypto a massive 43% rally to hit the current all-time high (ATH) around $67,000.
At the time of writing Bitcoin teeters around $62,058 on most exchanges and appears to have formed a rectangle pattern on the daily chart. Note that the rectangle pattern does not have a defined bullish or bearish breakout, but breaking above the upper boundary of the rectangle around $64,108 will trigger a bullish move for BTC.
Bitcoin seems to be battling immediate resistance around the $62,631 level coinciding with the middle boundary of the rising channel. For a bullish move to be confirmed, BTC price must close the session above this level to tag the upper boundary of the rectangle at $64,108.
A decisive bullish break out will be confirmed if BTC slices through this level after which a retest of the all-time high around $67,000 will be in the offing. This coincides with the upper tip of the ascending channel.
