Bitcoin price prediction: Bearish wave befalls BTC/USD as $8,000 is tested – Confluence Detector

  • Bitwise Bitcoin ETF called back for review by the SEC.
  • Bitcoin refreshes the support at $8,000 vital level amid looming danger of a return to $7,300.

Bitcoin, alongside other major assets, was caught up in yet another selloff on Monday. Bitcoin’s renewed bearish momentum broke the weekend’s consolidation below $8,350. Moreover, the lower leg extended below the support at $8,250 and tested the key level at $8,000. However, a low formed at $8,025 paved the way for gains above $8,100. BTC/USD is trading at $8,133 while attempting to establish support above $8,100 in a bid to push for recovery.

FXStreet reported in other news that the United States Securities and Exchange (SEC) has recalled the Bitwise rejected BTC exchange-traded fund for review. The review will look into why the product was rejected.

Glancing high to the north, $8,255 is the next hurdle.

In addition to that, additional significant hurdles will be faced at $8,594 and $8,678 respectively.

As far as support is concerned, Bitcoin is facing a shortage of anchor levels. The only relatively strong resistance is placed at $7,495. However, mild support can be found at $8,086, $7,917 and $7,833.
