Bitcoin Price Technical Analysis

This situation could only drive the markets to a technical synchronization to the up side, which would propel the bitcoin price into some kind of euphoric bubble.
Short-Term Analysis
A little flag pattern should be seen on the chart, and by the forecasting of its pole, prices would breakaway to the up side over $650, recovering the technical price objective at the $820 level.
According to Japanese candlestick analysis, the bitcoin price should go up, and the next technical scenario could be a continuous rise backed by fundamental data and political factors.
Staff opinion: We believe the bitcoin price will stay in the $630-$640 range for at least a brief period of time before testing higher levels. As usual, barring an unexpected buying frenzy, profit taking will hamper the rise. However, if current conditions remain constant, the lag caused by profit taking will only serve as a temporary hindrance during a larger trend upwards.
