Bitcoin price Confluence Levels
Although Bitcoin soared above $10,700 in the European session on Monday, the price has retraced to the current market value, $10,690. It is vital to note that BTC has the potential to reclaimed the position above $10,700. However, $10,746 is a hurdle what will have to be dealt with before tackling the strongest buyer congestion zone at $10,857.
The indicators converging at $10,746 range from the Bollinger Band 4-our upper, SMA 10 15-mins, SMA 5 1-hour, BB 15-mins Middle, previous high 15-mins and Pivot Point 1-Day R2 among others.
The Fibonacci 61.8% 1-week, SMA50 1-day, previous high 1-h, previous high 4-h and SMA 10 1-day all converge to create the confluence at $10,857.
On the brighter side, correction above $10,857 will remain largely undeterred until Bitcoin completes the leg above $11,500. However, $11,636 will introduce some struggle towards $12,000.
On the downside, the chances of a breakdown towards last week’s lows are very high. This is because the support levels available are scanty and not strong enough. Having said that, traders can take not of $10,524 as a viable support zone. Other support areas to look out for include $10,301, $10,079 and $9,857.
