Bitcoin Price Watch; Triangle Suggests Upside
Here's what we're looking at in the bitcoin price today. In yesterday’s bitcoin price analysis, we focused on a head and shoulders pattern (inverse) that was forming on the intraday charts.

This said, what are the levels to watch as we head into the European open? Let's take a look. The aforementioned bullish run topped out just shy of 280 flat, before correcting about....
