Technical Market Outlook
The BTC/USD pair has made a new swing high at the level of $45,535, but the rally was capped after the Bearish Engulfing pattern occurred. Currently, the market is pulling-back from the highs, but the next target for bulls is seen at the level of $46,673 (38% Fibonacci retracement level).The bulls are in control of the market on the lower time frames as the momentum is strong and positive on the daily time frame chart as well, so the market is bouncing from the extremely oversold conditions. The nearest technical support is seen at $44,397 and $43,484.

Trading Outlook:
The market is bouncing after over the 80% retracement made since the ATH at the level of $68,998 was made. The level of $44,442 is the next key technical resistance for bulls, but the game changing technical supply zone is seen between the levels of $52,033 - $52,899. When this zone is clearly broken, the BTC is back to the up trend.
