Bitcoin price prediction: BTC/USD recovery halted, downside still in danger – Confluence detector
|- Bitcoin’s reject at $8,500 hinders recovery but opens the road for declines towards $8,000.
- If the tentative support at $8,024 fails to hold, chances of refreshing of $7,700 support are very high.
Bitcoin is among the daily losers on Wednesday following the rejection from levels just above $8,500. The correction from the lows formed marginally above $7,700 initially stepped above $8,000 before extending the bullish leg to a weekly high of $8,530. At the time of writing Bitcoin is trading at $8,221 amidst a growing bearish momentum.
Elsewhere in the cryptocurrency market, the Libra Association has scheduled a meeting with its partners on Thursday.
