BTC rally upcoming?

Updated
I mostly trade alts, but alts are heavily influenced by whatever bitcoin is doing. So I always keep an eye on BTC to gauge the general market.

In this case, I think a clear inversed head and shoulder pattern is forming, which is a strong reversal signal if the neckline is broken. Coincidentally, if BTC happens to break through the neckline, it might also simultaneosuly break the important purple trendline.
These two singals together would confirm that BTC is breaking out of the bearish channel and is forming a new bullish trend. In that case, the first major target will be around 17.500 USD. With a strong BTC move, I believe many alts will suffer. Hence, I closed some of my alt positions and will not enter any new trades, before there is confirmation of where BTC is moving.
Note
BTC made a nice move upwards towards the neckline of the inverted H&S. However, it did not break this line, which has to be accompanied by an increase in volume, which is clearly lacking for bitcoin at the moment. Hence, we see price moving down again.

Note
This gree area is important, for now it looks like we are respecting it but if it breaks the level of the previous low, we might go further down towards the black trendline.
