Summary: I was hoping to see some more follow through out these last 24 - 48 hours. The volume was there on both breakouts (Feb 8th & 18th) however we have petered out at $4,000 horizontal resistance.

The fact that we continue to consolidate above the 4 EMA is a very strong sign as far as I am concerned. We didn’t smash right through resistance and that left us with two options. Get rejected hard and retrace the full rally from $3,600 or see support move up and consolidate.

The longer we continue to support above the 4 EMA the more likely I think we are to pop through it hard and fast. If that happens then my targets are the bear TL and the 200 day EMA.

If not in a position then I would shy away from BTC due to the resistance that is stacked from here to $5,000. However, there are some other options that appear to have less resistance and better risk:reward ratios.

XRP and BCH look ready for a big rally that might lead the rest of the market through this current area of resistance. Both recently had an ABC correction that pulled the price into a golden cross with the 50 & 200 EMA’s on the 4h chart.
