When confirmed, it gives some traders the confidence to open new positions at the S\/R level as they believe the break of structure and retest marks either the completion or the start of a trend reversal.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>After managing the first decisive breakout from the 3-month-old channel, Bitcoin retested the channel resistance (at $76,688) that had pinned down every BTC rally since Feb. 8. A deeper retest could see the price drop to the 20-day moving average at $75,250, and then confirmation of the S\/R flip would entail daily candle closes above the former trendline resistance.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cointelegraph.com\/news\/bitcoin-support-resistance-flip-in-play-as-longs-to-shorts-delta-highlights-bullish-bias\">Read more<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bitcoin pulled back to retest $76,500 as support, but the long-to-short delta indicates bulls have a significant advantage if the range highs are reclaimed.
