Bitcoin must recapture $7,000 in order to run

Bitcoin and fellow cryptocurrencies have lost some ground as the summer draws to a close. The  cooperation between Yahoo Finance and Coinbase  has not inspired a fresh move. ETF decisions loom in September. What prices should we be looking at?

The  Technical Confluence Indicator  shows that a dense cluster of resistance lines awaits the BTC/USD if it approaches the round level of $7,000. We see stiff resistance from $6,970 to the found number. This includes the heavy-weight lines of the Simple Moving Average 50-one-day, the Pivot Point one-week Resistance 1, the Bolinger Band one-hour Middle, the SMA 5-4h, the Fibonacci 23.6% one-day, the 4h high, and the Simple Moving Average 100-15m.

Overcoming this zone opens the door to a run on $7,120  which is the convergence of the Bollinger  Band one-hour-Upper, the one-day high, and the Pivot Point one-day Resistance 1.

Looking down, support awaits at $6,856  which is the meeting point of the SMA 5-15m, the 4h-low, the PP one-day Support 2, and the SMA 10-15m.

Further support is at the $6,728  area which is the confluence of the Fibonacci 23.6% one-week, the SMA 50-4h, and the SMA 200-1h.

Here is how it looks on the tool:

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.
