BTCUSD: Stuck In A Symmetrical Triangle Ready To Break On 1 Hr

For over a day and a half Bitcoin has formed a symmetrical triangle against the dollar, while being stuck between the 200 Day MA and the 200 Day EMA. The symmetrical triangle is 52 bars (2d4h) long with 75% completion working out as 39 bars (1d15h) - the current hourly candle. Notably the 200 Day MA is no longer in the triangle, so a retest would therefore breach the triangle pattern. I'm therefore now looking for a small move 6%+ in either direction, likely retesting the breakout levels (or the end of the symmetrical triangle) before continuing to move in the same direction a little further.

The breakout target to the upside if the pattern is broken as expected would be $9099 (to descending triangle resistance), while to the downside $7807, breaching local support and heading close to the 100 Week MA at $7850, where the price would likely stabilize temorarily in my opinion (<$8k).

Note symmetrical triangles are considered neither bullish nor bearish but continuation patterns. In this case, a continuation of bearish momentum, despite bullish divergence on the RSI as well as a positive CMF and MACD.
