Symmetrical Triangle

Here on the 12 hour chart we can observe a solidly formed symmetrical triangle. The widely held expectation is that we will see price break out bullish with target #1 at about $420. However, this pattern resolves in the direction of the overall trend- 75% of the time. A top-side breakout could signal the start of a bull market for bitcoin... or we could break lower with the current overall trend still bearish. In the event of a break out to the down side, there is the possibility for a Cypher pattern as strong support should be found at the $300 level. We will be watching with anticipation the price action to come.
