Bitcoin Signaling Upside Continuation, Why BTC Could Rally Further

Bitcoin price is showing positive signs above the $40,000 level against the US Dollar. BTC is likely to continue higher above $41,000 and $41,500 in the near term.

Bitcoin started a fresh increase above the $38,500 and $40,000 resistance levels.
The price is currently well above $38,500 and the 100 hourly simple moving average.

An immediate support on the downside is near $39,650. It is close to the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $34,915 swing low to $41,128 high.
There is also a key contracting triangle forming with resistance near $40,600 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair. If there is an upside break above the triangle resistance, there are chances of a steady increase above the $41,000 resistance.
