Bitcoin price continues to trade at about $30,000 as indicators remain neutral
Bitcoin held initial support near $29,300, which was where an upswing in price originated over the past weekend. The cryptocurrency remains in a tight intraday range, with a midpoint at $30,100. That’s where the most trading volume occurred over the past two weeks. For now, BTC’s price could continue to revert to that midpoint level until a decisive breakout or breakdown is confirmed.
The upside appears to be limited between the $33,000-$35,000 resistance zone, especially as momentum signals remain negative on long-term charts. Still, momentum remains positive on the daily chart, which could keep short-term buyers active. The 14-day relative strength index (RSI) will need to return above the 50 neutral mark to sustain a recovery bounce in price.
“Bitcoin highlighted another major week full of the major trading volume. Between the top 8 largest non-stablecoins, the past 7 days were the 2nd largest total trading volume since $BTC’s All-Time High, only trailing the massive dip week in early May”, Santiment reported.
Technical indicators have been neutral throughout the past week as BTC traded at about $30,000. Meanwhile, some altcoins are outperforming BTC, which could encourage some buyers to return from the sidelines.
Ether was changing hands at just above $1,800, up slightly for the same period. Most altcoins rose late with ADA recently rising nearly 6%, and APE up over 4%. Trading was choppy as investors continued to shy away from riskier assets – their behavior a product of inflationary and recessionary fears that have mushroomed steadily this year.
The overall cryptocurrency market cap stands at $1.259 trillion, and Bitcoin’s dominance rate is 46.2%.
