ETH/USD on Monday, July 19, 2021.In a note sent to Bitcoin.com News, Pankaj Balani, CEO of the crypto trading platform Delta Exchange, explains the risk of dropping below $30K is now higher.
“Bitcoin failed above $33,000 and is trading around $31,800 on the spot market,” Balani said. “Bitcoin has been in a consolidation phase and is trying to settle in the $30,000-$40,000 range. Having said that, BTC has found it challenging to move higher and the upper end of this range has been converging gradually.” The Delta Exchange executive further added:
Bitcoin failed above $36,000 last week and $33,000 this week. We have also continuously tested the bottom end of the above range which shows weakness in price and opens up the risk of a breakdown below $30,000. Overall, the risk of downside below 30,000 on Bitcoin is much higher now than what it was in the months of May and June.

At the time of writing, the Dow Jones Industrial Average is down 700 points, while Nasdaq, NYSE, and tech stocks have also shed significant value on Monday.
Stock market carnage on Monday, July 19, 2021.“The Bitcoin network’s hash rate has never recovered to its peak and is currently at levels of late October 2019,” Kuptsikevich said. “An automatic decline should soon follow this in complexity. It is accepted that Bitcoin’s price follows the hash rate/complexity of mining, so the investment outlook is deteriorating for now.” Kuptsikevich’s analysis continued:
A correction in the S&P 500 could negatively contribute to the short-term dynamics of the crypto market. In this case, a correlation of the benchmark equity index and Bitcoin may well show its full potential, as similar cautionary sentiment prevails in both markets.
Etoro’s senior analyst, Simon Peters, says that despite short-term corrections, long-term outlooks are still quite positive.
“Recent harsh conditions for bitcoin and ether continued last week as both crypto assets saw significant sell-offs continue,” Peters explained to Bitcoin.com News on Monday. “Bitcoin’s recent woes deepened as the crypto asset slumped across the week, starting trading above $34,000 before losing ground. Likewise, ether has come down heavily from recent highs. ETH began the week above $2,000 but saw a quick sell off to trade below $1,900 at times,” the Etoro analyst added.
“With yet another poor performing week,” Peters added, “speculation on the short-term price direction of major crypto assets is rife, with mixed opinions on price depending on what metric/indicators analysts are looking at.” Peters’ investors note to Bitcoin.com News concluded: “Long-term confidence remains high, however, with a recent survey of Fintech experts revealing more than half believe bitcoin is capable of becoming the global reserve currency by 2050.”
