The leading Cryptocurrency by market cap has changed hands between 67,000 in the past seven days forming a triangle on the price chart. Triangles tend to be continuation patterns presenting a pause that refreshes the preceding trend which is bullish in Bitcoin's case, the token rallied from $26,500 to $35,000 before starting its triangular behavior. One analyst at FX pro said in an email quote, it is generally believed that such consolidation formations end with an upward break.
