On the downside, there are two important bullish trend lines forming with support at $7950-7900 on the 2-hours chart of BTC/USD. These trend lines might play a major role for today’s next move above $8058.

If the highlighted trend lines continue to hold losses below $7900, there can be a break of the recent high at $8058. On the upside, there is a connecting trend line forming with resistance at $8060.

Therefore, we can say that there is a contracting triangle forming with support at $7900-7850 and resistance near $8060. Should there be a close below $7850, the price could test the 50% Fibonacci retracement level of the last wave from the $7420 low to $8058 high near $7700.

On the flip side, a break of the $8060 resistance would call for a test of $8100. The price could even break $8100 for a move towards $8200.

The overall short-term market sentiment is bullish as long as the price is above $7850.
