Bitcoin bulls see a small ray of light at the end of the tunnel

Bitcoin hit a new low just above $4,000 on Tuesday and stabilized since then. Many are asking: is the sell-off over and BTC/USD can conquer $5,000? Or will the granddaddy of cryptocurrencies lose $4,000? Technical levels provide some hope for the bulls.

The  Technical Confluence Indicator  shows that Bitcoin ists above a critical convergence at $4,515. The area consists of the Bolinger Band 15m-Middle, the Pivot Point one-week Support 2, the Simple Moving Average 5-1h, and the SMA 5-4h.

Looking up, resistance at $4,591  is weaker than the support line mentioned earlier. The lines include the SMA 10-4h, the Fibonacci 61.8% one-day, and the previous hourly high.

Looking beyond, a Bitcoin bull rally can target the $4,800  area where we see the Bollinger Band one-day Lower and the Pivot Point one-day Resistance 1. These are not very strong levels and such a run could open the door to recapturing $5,000.

Further down, another noteworthy cushion awaits at $4,439. It consists of the SMA 10-1h, the BB 1h-Middle, and the SMA 100-15m.

Looking up, there is some resistance

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.
