The market is going through a reversal pattern to the $700 level, where a congestion area should reinforce quotes for another climb to $820, keeping us right on track to hit the projections advanced last week.

Bitcoin Price Analysis: Bulls Still in Control
Long-Term Analysis
After testing the lowest support at the $580-$600 level, prices should enter an upward reversal pattern soon, which will allow an initial pull back to $700, extended to Fibonacci´s technical objective at $820.
The next stage could be an upward rally into the new technical cycle, which may be delayed until big players accomplish their marketplace. An ascending support ensures the breakout into a new bull cycle.
Mid-Term Analysis
Now, while quotes are testing the support level, a new bullish consensus is providing the concurrent elements that should start a consolidated new cycle to $700, and further to $820.
Mathematical indicators are showing buy signals, and current volume is providing the market with a chance to start a new bull trend from here to $1800, with several zig zag situations and profit taking areas.
Short-Term Analysis
Japanese candlestick analysis indicates that the market can sustain itself long enough to allow the quotes to rise into the intermediate congestion area at $700 on the way to $820, perhaps in a rally mode.
The first resistance level could be calculated at $700 because of the last month congestion which had sent prices to the current figures from where the new bull cycle is starting.
