- Bitcoin resumes the downtrend as $6,500 beckons profusely.

Bitcoin is exploring lower levels towards the support at $7,000. The downward momentum is occurring after a drab weekend that saw little to not upside action. Bitcoin, however, continuously pressed against key support levels including $7,400 and $7,200.
Meanwhile, BTC is trading at $7,230 after a 2.2% lower correction during the European session on Monday. The existing trend is bearish while the volatility is high.

Bitcoin Confluence Levels
Bitcoin bulls have no choice but to barricade $7,000 and ensure that the region is impenetrable. Why?

A number of weak support zones are scattered at $6,715, $6,40 as well as $7,089.
On the upside, a number of resistance zones cloud the path towards $8,000. The initial hurdle at $7,314 is host to the Bollinger Band 1-hour, SMA 10 15-minutes and the Fibonacci 23.6% daily. The strongest resistance lies with $7,389 as highlighted using SMA 50 15-mins, Fibo 38.2% one-week, previous low 4-hour, previous low 4-hour, BB 1-hour middle curve, and the previous high 1-hour. Other key seller congestion zones include $7,614, $7,764 and $7,913.
