On the daily chart, BTC’s price is attempting to make a move towards the daily 20 EMA line. However, it is currently encountering some resistance at around $16,745.57 that has pushed its price back down with the current daily candle.

A recent bullish flag that has been triggered on BTC’s daily chart is the daily RSI line crossing above the daily RSI SMA line on November 22, 2022. This, together with the parallel price channel that has formed on BTC’s 4-hour chart suggests that BTC’s move towards the daily 20 EMA may happen over the coming 24 hours.

Should this move happen, then BTC’s price will rise to approximately $17,261.65. This would constitute a 4% move from the current price.
