BTC/USD Downside Seems Limited!

BTC/USD registered only a false breakdown with great separation below 28,800 - 28,561 static support and below the lower median line (LML) signaling strong demand. Now, it's trading in the green but it remains to see if will have enough bullish energy to be able to take the 30,261 resistance.

30,000 psychological level is seen as an upside obstacle as well. 30,960 represents a critical static resistance. Only escaping from the range pattern between 30,960 and 28,561 could bring new trading opportunities.
