Bitcoin Remains Strong

GB Market Commentary 29/07/2021

by William Morris


Bitcoin continues to show strength as it remains at the top side of the range at around $40,000. The 21-week EMA (exponential moving average, shown in light blue) is acting as a strong resistance, in confluence with the weekly resistance area of around $39,500 (shown in dark blue). Bitcoin has wicked above this area several times over the past few months, each ending in rejection. However, on the single occasion that Bitcoin closed the week above the $39,500 level, it enjoyed an impressive rally to new All-Time Highs. A close above this level and the 21-week EMA, largely regarded as the bull market support band, could be a signal for the continuation of the bull market.

With continued institutional interest widespread regulation appears an increasingly likely next step in cryptocurrencies future, as it is sought after and adopted.

Instead promoting consensus and willingness to embrace the innovations of crypto; “channelling them into a better direction for finance, the economy and society at large”. Following on from this Jordan Belfort also called for increased regulation in an interview with CoinDesk. Stating: “the sooner that massive regulation comes into the market, the better it is for Bitcoin, stablecoins, and everything else.”
