BTC/USD the daily confluence detector
Bitcoin’s recovery depends on whether it manages to surpass $3,600 handle. However, this is no easy task considering a great deal of strong technical levels clustered from above the current price and up to the critical resistance.
These technical indicators include all sorts of SMA levels, Bollinger Band 4-hour Middle, Bollinger Band 15-min Middle, Bollinger Band 1-hour Middle, 38.2% Fibo retracement weekly, 38.2% Fibo retracement daily, 38.2% Fibo retracement monthly, 61.8% Fibo retracement daily.
Most likely, this barrier will limit Bitcoin’s upside potential for the time being. However, once it is cleared, the price might catapult towards $4,000 on triggered stops and new buying orders.
Meanwhile, the way to the downside is clear. There are no serious support levels until 2018 low at $3,127 followed by psychological $3,000.
It looks like numerous experts calling another downside leg before recovery may prove to be right.
