Bitcoin is trading around the top of the falling wedge pattern, although upside momentum is currently lacking to forge a breakout.

Buyers need to move price above the $7,570 level to encourage further technical buying. Price is also starting to create higher highs and lower lows in the short-term, which is a bullish development.

The $7,770 and $7,850 level remain the key resistance areas bulls need to break in order to secure a test of the $8,000 level. Key support is found at the $7,380 and $7,200 levels.
