Bitcoin price prediction: BTC/USD still has room for growth – Confluence Detector

• Bitcoin has plenty of room for growth in the coming sessions.
• Any significant movement north will have to overcome the seller congestion at $5,259.60 – $5,314.02.

The 4-hour BTC/USD chart shows Bitcoin trading higher highs and higher lows within the confines of an ascending channel. The upper trendline has, however, become an uphill task to break. In fact, another attempt to trade above $5,300 saw the bullish momentum turn bearish on touching the trendline resistance. Currently, Bitcoin is dancing with the 61.8% Fib level with a previous drop from $5,321.82 and a low around $4,950.
