Technical indicators on BTC’s 4-hour chart suggested that the crypto’s price would attempt to do the same with the next resistance level at $27,480 in the next 24-48 hours..

The 9 EMA line on the 4-hour chart had recently crossed bullishly above the 20 EMA line – signalling that BTC’s price had entered into a short-term bullish cycle. In addition to this, the shorter EMA line was bullishly breaking away from the longer EMA line.
