According to the confluence detector, Bitcoin only needs to overcome the resistance at $3,883.70 to ignited gains to higher levels. A broader look at the tool shows few or weak resistance hurdles. The confluence of indicators at the initial resistance; $3,883.70 include the previous high 15-minutes, 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level 1-day and the Bollinger Band 1-hour upper. A correction above this level is expected to face more resistance in a range between $3,923 and $4,004.25. The confluence of indicators at this range includes the Bollinger Band 4-hour upper, the pivot point 1-day R2, the pivot point 1-day R3, the 61.8% Fib level weekly and 23.6% Fibo 1-minute. Above this range, Bitcoin could easily zoom above $4,200 and focus on $4,500.
Meanwhile, support is observed at $3,803.34 highlighted by 23.6% Fibo weekly, the 100 SMA 1-hour, the Bollinger Band 4-hour middle, the Bollinger band 1-day middle, the 5 SMA daily range, the 200 SMA 1-hour, the 50 SMA 4-hour and the 10 SMA daily range.
Bitcoin bulls should ensure that the price does not slide below the support at $3,803.34 because such a move could pave the way for sharp declines towards $3,500 and even breakdown further to $3,000.
