Short target 1 was hit and now BTC futures forming rising pennant pattern on 1hr. The pennant is normally a continuation pattern but quality diminishes considerably when rising so confirmation of breakout would be advised. Concern is high volume reversal on bullish bars at each rising upper trendline touch. Bearish reversals each time it tests the upper line. The more times that occurs the more bearish it becomes and will lead to downside if not broken though soon. Last two candles point to retest of 8598 and lower trendline .
longs could be taken on test of lower trendline area reversal or first bullish close after test with close stops below lower trend line but would be best to wait for break out confirmation out of pattern.
Or short on downside break or back test. Aggressive shorts at retest of upper trendlne with easy stop low risk position with stops on break out above upper trendline. Pattern is not highly reliable so Id be ready for move either way if wanted a swing trade. I would position short trade at upper trendline if possible.
Upside break out would lead to Test of 1rst resistance line around 9500 and then target of $10200
Downside break down Target 7100 with probable S1 a near 7700
Although normally a bullish pattern, the candle pattern, volume and price action and Bearish reversals at upper trendline point to downside break
