The Crypto Daily – Movers and Shakers – July 30th, 2021

Bitcoin, BTC to USD, rose by 0.05% on Thursday. Following a 1.33% gain from Wednesday, Bitcoin ended the day at $40,036.1.

A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin fall to an early morning intraday low $39,272.0 before making a move.

Steering clear of the first major support level at $38,913, Bitcoin rose to a late morning intraday high $40,623.0.

Falling short the first major resistance level at $41,010, however, Bitcoin fell back to sub-$39,500 levels before finding support. A late move back through to $40,000 reversed losses from the day.

The near-term bullish trend remained intact, supported by the latest return to $40,000 levels. For the bears, Bitcoin would need a sustained fall through the 62% FIB of $27,237 to form a near-term bearish trend.

The Rest of the Pack

Across the rest of the majors, it was a mixed day on Thursday.

Cardano’s ADA slipped by 0.15% to buck the trend.

It was a bullish day for the rest of the majors, however.

Polkadot rallied by 4.94% to lead the way, with Crypto.com Coin (+2.33%), Ethereum (+3.59%), and Ripple’s XRP (+2.39%) also finding strong support.

Binance Coin (+1.00%), Bitcoin Cash SV (+0.41%), Chainlink (+1.36%), and Litecoin (+0.74%) saw modest gains, however.

In the current the week, the crypto total market fell to a Monday low $1,379bn before rising to a Monday high $1,606bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $1,553bn.

Bitcoin’s dominance fell to a Monday low 47.07% before jumping to a Wednesday high 49.16%. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 48.44%.

This Morning

At the time of writing, Bitcoin was up by 0.09% to $40,071.0. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin fall to an early morning low $39,779.0 before rising to a high $40,122.0.

Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on.

Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day.

Binance Coin (-0.15%), Chainlink (-0.06%), Polkadot (-0.50%), and Ripple’s XRP (-0.33%) saw early red.

It was a bullish start for the rest of the majors, however.

At the time of writing, Crypto.com Coin was up by 0.81% to lead the way.

For the Bitcoin Day Ahead

Bitcoin would need to avoid a fall back through the $39,977 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $40,682 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break out from Thursday’s high $40,623.0.

Barring a broad-based crypto rally, the first major resistance level would likely cap any upside.

In the event of another extended crypto rally, Bitcoin could test resistance at the 38.2% FIB of $41,592 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $41,328.

Failure to avoid a fall back through the $39,977 pivot would bring the first major support level at $39,331 into play.

Barring an extended sell-off on the day, Bitcoin should steer clear of the second major support level at $38,626.
