Bitcoin confluence levels
Bitcoin is lethargic within the mentioned range, besides the confluence tool highlights $8,628 as the initial. BTC only needs a push above this zone to pave the way for a relatively smooth ride to the critical resistance at $8,972. On clearing this level, the buyers will easily jump above $9,000 and shift their focus towards $10,000.
On the other hand, support areas are not as strong as the resistance at $8,972. The first support is seen at $8,560 as highlighted using the pivot point one-week resistance one, Bollinger Band one-hour middle and SMA 10 15-minutes and SMA 50 15-mins among others. Also in line to offer support is $8,525 and $8,491.
