Bitcoin confluence levels
During early Tuesday hours, BTC/USD tried to develop an upside momentum but stopped short of the upper boundary of the channel at $8,300.

$8,500 - 23.6% Fibo retracement monthly, 161.8 Fibo projection daily, the highest level of the previous week;
$9,000 - Pivot Point one-week Resistance 3.
