BITCOIN soared above $16,000 early Thursday morning, breaking above the support level for the first time since January 2018. Price has broken up through the ceiling of the rising trend channel in the medium long term. Should the upbeat moods prevail then next resistance at $17 000 may come into play. However, if sellers will manage to break below the $ 16 000 level, then the nearest support  lies at the aforementioned upper limit of the rising trend channel. Source: xStation5
