BTC Trading Update by @cryptopassion

Yesterday, I was showing you this chart :

Here is the current chart :

It is done, the downtrend line has been tested and broken with volume.

To confirm our scenario, we need now to go tested the previous TOP where I traced you the orange line. We have indeed always a risk of a Head Fake like we had some days ago so a test to this orange line should confirm the current scenario.
