Bitcoin price Prediction: BTC/USD dip is coming in the wake of the rally – Confluence Detector

  • Bitcoin slides under $11,000 again as more declines flicker for the upcoming sessions.
  • The confluence detector tool places the first support at $10,912, the second at $10,570 and the third at $10,341.

Bitcoin’s intent to stay above $11,000 becomes difficult with each passing second. A bullish reversal on Wednesday saw BTC/USD reclaim the ground above $11,000. However, on trading levels of $11,361 losses took effect immediately. At the time of writing, Bitcoin has retreated to $10,954. The downtrend could soon retest support at $10,800. Besides, a reversal seems imminent following the massive rally from the narrow range between $9,000 and $9,300.

The question, however, is whether Bitcoin has the potential to hold at higher support, preferably above $10,000? The daily chart shows the RSI retreating fast within the overbought region. This downward trend highlights the already overbought condition of Bitcoin. It is also vital to note that buyers are adamant to let Bitcoin slide as seen with MACD at 431. The tug war is bound to continue in the near term. In the meantime, let us look into the possible confluence resistance and support levels.
