Bitcoin price prediction: BTC/USD bulls claw back some ground - Bitcoin confluence

  • BTC/USD gets back above $8,000, but further recovery may be limited.
  • The coin may retest critical support  $7,700.

Bitcoin (BTC) is hovering at $8,000. The coin has recovered from the intraday low of $7,768; however, it is still vulnerable to further losses if the price fails to develop the upside momentum above the pivotal area. BTC/USD has gained 2.2% since the beginning of the day and stayed unchanged in recent 24 hours.
