Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple continue recovering quietly – levels

Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies consolidate the significant gains they enjoyed on Monday and are holding their ground. Reports are coming out that Facebook is on a hiring spree in its Blockchain unit. The social media behemoth is reportedly aiming to “reinvent money.”

What levels should we watch out for in BTC/USD?

The  Technical Confluence Indicator  shows that the digital coin faces weak resistance between $3,580 and $3,604  where we see the Bollinger  Band 4h-Upper, the previous 4h high, and the BB 15 minute Upper spread out.

The more significant target is at $3,637 which is last week’s high.

The good news is that bears will have a hard time pushing BTC back down. Immediate support awaits at $3,505  which is the BB 15 minutes Middle, the previous 1h-low, the Simple Moving Average 100-4h, and the SMA 5-1h.

At $3,495  we find the Pivot Point one-week Resistance 1, the SMA 10-1h, and the SMA 50-15m clustered together.

Last but not least, the $3,670  is a cluster of potent lines including the Fibonacci 61.8% one-week, last month’s low and the previous  4h-low.

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.
