Bitcoin price wants to make more profits

There is also a short-term bullish continuation pattern with resistance near USD 60,300 on the 4-hour chart of the BTC / USD pair. If there is an upside break above the $ 60,500 level, there is a possibility of a sharp spike in the upcoming sessions.
The next major resistance is near the $ 61,250 level. A successful rise above the $ 61,250 level could open the doors for a steady rise above $ 62,000 and to a new all-time high in the near future.
Downward pause at BTC?
If Bitcoin breaks above the USD 60,500 support, it risks breaking down. The first major support is near the $ 59,300 and $ 59,200 levels.
The next major support is near the $ 58,500 level. It is near the 50% fib retracement level of the move up from the low of $ 55,545 to the high of $ 61,242. Further losses could require a test of the $ 57,500 level and the simple moving average of 100 (4 hours).
