Bitcoin price launches 10% rally on Musk comments, but big BTC challenges remain

Bitcoin price breakout from the symmetrical triangle is a bullish development, as it frees the bellwether cryptocurrency to test the formidable resistance between $41,581 and $43,331, offering some encouragement for the broader cryptocurrency complex.

Based on that, it seems that the 50% is attainable, but not soon, mainly when a lot of the mining is conducted in underdeveloped countries that still employ fossil fuels for electricity generation.

The breakout from the symmetrical triangle does demand a rethink of the pervading neutral-to-negative outlook that has orchestrated Bitcoin price for several weeks.

The range is defined by the 38.2% retracement level of the rally from the March 2020 low at $41,581, the January high at $41,986, the 200-day simple moving average at $42,371, the February low at $43,016 and finally, the 38.2% retracement of the April-May correction at $43,331.

Third, it needs to overcome the 50-day SMA at $44,784 and then resist the selling pressure that will follow when Bitcoin price triggers a death cross on the daily chart in the next few days.

For Bitcoin investors and followers, it is obviously motivating to hear positive remarks from Elon Musk.
