Bitcoin Price Prediction: Will BTC/USD surge above $7,000 confirm trajectory to $8,000? – Confluence Detector

 Bitcoin price bulls are concentrating on one key resistance; $7,000. The surge on Friday last week pulled BTC/USD from lows under $5,500 to highs touching the coveted $7,000. However, the weekend action remained drab as the buyers lost traction amid increased bearish action. Various support areas were confirmed including $6,000, and $5,800. Bitcoin price commenced this week’s trading battling tooth and nail to force a reversal targeting $7,000.

At the time of writing BTC/USD is doddering at $6,558 after a 1% growth on the day. The current trend is bullish but the volatility is low, which means that rapid movement north is unlikely in the short term.
