Price charts and technical analysis

The BTC/USD is showing a strong bullish recovery after a deep bearish pullback:

Price action has managed to break above the 21 ema zone again.
The bullish momentum is expected to challenge the previous top (blue arrow).
The previous top is a strong resistance zone and could stop the uptrend.
A bearish retracement (orange arrows) could complete an ABC (blue) in wave 4 (pink).
A bullish bounce (green arrow) could take place at the support zone (green box).
A bull flag pattern (grey arrows) however indicates that the immediate uptrend remains valid. In that case, a wave 4’ finished at the recent low.

On the daily chart, we see that the bullish momentum is strong because price action remains above the 21 ema zone for a long time:

The bullish price swing is either a wave C or 3 (orange).
This depends on the price reaction at the resistance zone (red box).
A bearish reversal (red arrow) indicates a wave C and more bearish correction.
