BeInCrypto presents our daily morning roundup of crypto news and market changes that you might have missed while you were asleep.
Bitcoin updateOn Aug 1, BTC reached a high of $41,599. This seemed to cause a breakout above the $40,550 resistance area, which had been in place since May 20.
However, the price has been decreasing since and has fallen all the way to $37,966. This rendered the previous breakout a deviation, with the $40,550 area now expected to act as resistance again.
BTC has nearly reached the $37,500 support area, which is the 0.382 Fib retracement support level. The next support areas are found at $35,930 and $34,370. These are the 0.5 and 0.618 Fib retracement support levels.
Technical indicators are starting to show signs of weakness. The MACD has created the first lower momentum bar and the RSI has fallen below 70.
