Bitcoin (BTC) Breaks Out Towards $51,200 Resistance

Bitcoin (BTC) broke out from a descending parallel channel on Sept 1 and is attempting to move above the $51,200 horizontal resistance area.

Due to mixed readings from technical indicators, we cannot accurately determine if BTC will be successful in breaking out the first time. However, an eventual breakout is likely.

Because the breakout looks like a three-wave corrective structure, the most likely scenario would indicate that BTC will complete another slight drop before eventually moving upwards.
