Technical Market Outlook:
The BTC/USD pair has been consolidating the recent gains around the level of $46,691 after the successful breakout above the supply zone located between the levels of $41,794 - $43,159. Now both of this levels will act as a technical support for bulls. The next target for bulls is seen at the level of $46,991, which is a 50% Fibonacci retracement of the last, big wave down started in April 2021. The immediate technical support is seen at the level of $45,043, the key short-term technical support is located at $42,704.
