Bitcoin Price: Next target is $8,663 after the recent consolidation

Bitcoin continues enjoying the summer surge,  for five good reasons. Despite a potential delay in assessing the requests for an ETF approval, the digital currency continues setting new 3-month highs. What’s next?

The  Technical Confluence Indicator  shows that the BTC/USD has an initial hurdle around $8,490, which is the convergence of the one-day high and the Bolinger Band one-hour Upper (Standard Deviation 2.2).  Further above, $8,532  is the Pivot Point one-week Resistance 2.

The more significant target is at $8,663  which is the confluence of the Pivot Point one-month Resistance 2 and the Simple Moving Average 200-one-day.

On the downside, some support is found at $8,389  which is the congestion of the SMA 100-15m, the BB 15m Middle, and the SMA 5-1h. Lower, $8,295  is the meeting point of the SMA 504h, the 4h low and the Fibonacci 23.6% one-day.

Another notable area is around $8,200  which is the meeting point of the SMA 100-15m and the Fibonacci 38.2% one-day.

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.
