What The Bitcoin Chart Shows

Bitcoin broke above the $67,333 resistance level during this move. The coin is now trading above its 20-, 50-, 100-, and 200-day EMAs.

The 200-day EMA sits at $71,549.86. The 100-day EMA is lower, at $66,552.56.

Trading volume rose during the breakout. Volume reached close to 31,520 BTC on the chart.

Bitcoin open interest is climbing as well. CoinGlass data shows open interest near $51 billion as BTC rallied toward $69,000 on August 20.

Rising open interest alongside a rising price usually means more traders are opening new positions. It can also mean bigger price swings if those positions get closed at once.

The $67,333 level is now the key support to watch. A break below it could point to a failed breakout.

The next support area under that sits at $62,975. Traders are watching whether Bitcoin can hold above $67,333 in the sessions ahead.
