$BTC - OBV is nothing but bullish. Looks like next resistance would put us around $50,000. This is some serious strength that we haven't seen in a while. April is historically a very bullish month for #Bitcoin.

#Bitcoin has accomplished all 4 items from the bullish checklist I outlined on 2/25. This has to be one of the cleanest breakout extensions for $BTC that' we've seen in awhile. The 45-day Williams%R has blasted through "overbought", indicating high momentum within a bull trend.

Yes. It's not perfect, but alpha available in a probabilistic way. BTC is still early where info asymmetry is clearly available. Very few institutions deeply understand on-chain, and I'm learning more every day. This chart used no price data, it's all on-chain and fundamentals.

The $BTC pattern is called an ascending triangle (right). Read about Asc Tris in Schabacker, Study III, pgs 93- Also, compare present pattern to similar structure in 2019 (left) #Bitcoin
