Bitcoin has been caught within some turbulent waters as of late, with its price plunging to lows of $17,600 earlier this week before garnering some massive buying momentum that has led its price back up towards its all-time highs.

It still has a couple of hurdles to surmount if it is to see any further momentum, with the resistance at $19,400 and $19,800 both being formidable levels that it needs to break above.

One trader is awaiting a break above these levels before he flips fully bullish.
