BTC/USD the daily confluence detector
The area above the current price is practically free from obstacles. If the price manages to stay above $4,000 over the night, the upside may be readily extended towards $4,200 (23.6% Fibo retracement monthly) and $4,500.
Meanwhile, the path to the South looks more complicated due to some technical levels clustered below the current price.
The first support zone starts at $3,950 and goes down to $3,900. It is created by a confluence of technical indicators, including SMA200 4-hour, 161.8% Fibo retracement weekly, 4-hour Bollinger Band Middle, 15-min Bollinger Band Upper, Pivot Point 1-week Resistance 3 and the previous day high.
Once below, the sell-off may be extended towards $3,750, guarded by 1-hour Bollinger Band Middle, 15-min Bollinger Band Upper, 61.8% Fibo retracements daily and SMA100 15-min.
The ultimate short-term support lies with $3,500 with a series of strong levels located just below this handle. They include 61.8% Fibo retracement weekly, 161.8% Fibo retracement daily, Pivot Point Daily Support 2 and Previous Month Low.
