BTC/USD is stuck below $3,900 amid the ow trading activity on the market. The sideways trading is not only unique to Bitcoin but has affected the majority of cryptocurrencies. According to the confluence detector tool, BTC/USD motionless trading means that bullish pressure is equal to the bearish pressure. Bitcoin is valued at $3,848 at the time of writing.
