BTCUSDT on OKEx has successfully broken out of the ascending wedge pattern previously mentioned. However, it resolved in a bullish fashion, thanks to strong support from buyers. The price action has pushed BTC above the $50,000 milestone, with many traders now setting their sights on higher prices.

Ethereum
