|- Cryptocurrencies have surged with Bitcoin leading the charge above $10,000.
- Facebook's Libra launch and a bullish sentiment are behind the move.
- Here are the next levels to watch according to the Confluence Detector.
The granddaddy of cryptocurrencies was hovering just below $10,000 for some 24 hours. And when markets closed, it finally shot higher and reached a peak of $10,468 at the time of writing – the highest since March 2018.
One of the upward drivers to the bullish move came from Facebook. The social media giant has announced it is launching its cryptocurrency project called Libra under a Geneva-based foundation name Calibra. Implementation is due only in 2020 but FB's considerable move into the blockchain world has stirred markets all over the world.
Cryptocurrency traders may be asking: what's next? What are the levels to watch?
This is what the Crypto Confluence Detector shows in its latest update:
BTC/USD eyes $11,508
Bitcoin has its next target at $10,750 – the convergence of the Pivot Point one-day Resistance 2 and the PP 1w-R1.
It then eyes $11,184 where we see another pair of pivot points: the 1d-R3, and the 1w-R2
