Lower, the BTC/USD enjoys support at $6,421 which is the confluence of the Fibonacci 38.2% one-day, the Fibonacci 38.2% one-week, and the 4h-low. 

Looking up, the first target is $6,602 which is the Fibonacci 38.2% one-month and last week's high.

The Confluence Detector finds exciting opportunities using Technical Confluences. The TC is a tool to locate and point out those price levels where there is a congestion of indicators, moving averages, Fibonacci levels, Pivot Points, etc. Knowing where these congestion points are located is very useful for the trader, and can be used as a basis for different strategies.

This tool assigns a certain amount of “weight” to each indicator, and this “weight” can influence adjacents price levels. These weightings mean that one price level without any indicator or moving average but under the influence of two “strongly weighted” levels accumulate more resistance than their neighbors. In these cases, the tool signals resistance in apparently empty areas.
