“I don’t believe any client has sought out crypto exposure,” said Larry Fink, CEO of BlackRock.
The BlackRock news had surged the Bitcoin price to a slightly stronger upward movement on Monday (16th July 2018). As observed from the chart, even though Bitcoin price is currently sporting a little red candle, the overall trend so far continues to be bullish. In fact, according to Trading View, the technical analysis bar at the time of writing shows that the crypto coin is placed slightly in the Buy zone. For some time, last week, the BTC/USD pair had been trading below the $6400 level. So, the break of Bitcoin from this situation to the Bullish zone is a welcome news. At the time of writing, the BTC/USD pair is trading at $6709.98 with the moving average (blue line) pointing at 6428.88 approximately.
As can be observed from the chart above, the BTC/USD had a fair share of downtrends rather than uptrends. However, Bitcoin crossing even the $6600 level yesterday has raised hopes again. Now, it is to be seen whether the pair crosses the $6800 resistance level. But, the present slight downward movement may make the situation more challenging.
Bitcoin Cash (BCH/USD)
Price Analysis
- High: $809.5 USD
- Low: $781.9 USD
- Major Resistance Level: $810
- Hourly MACD: Placed in the Buy zone slightly and likely to maintain it.

Yesterday, after Bitcoin Cash (BCH) had once crossed the $760 resistance level, the crypto coin had quite rapidly moved up to the $780 resistance line and crossed it. At the time of writing, as the chart shows, the BCH/USD pair is trading at $800.4. (As of 17th July 2018) The blue line (moving average) at the time of writing shows 725.22, as can be seen on the chart. There is a chance that Bitcoin Cash will continue to see an uptrend if the present situation continues. The BlackRock news also had a positive effect on the Bitcoin Cash market like on many other crypto coins. This had also created a rising pressure among the buyers and moved the pair to the Buy zone. One can expect Bitcoin Cash to strongly move into this region if the current trend continues. There is also a chance that the pair experience a slight upward and downward movement (daily range) before setting above the $800 resistance level.
The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) and the SEC together had given Coinbase the permission to acquire two more companies—Venovate Marketplace Inc. and Digital Wealth LLC. It was reported by Bloomberg. This may also have a positive effect on the overall cryptocurrency market and continue to keep both Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash as well as other cryptocurrencies in the green zone.

Bitcoin price dumped hard on Monday, briefly slipping below $41,000, erasing gains recorded in the previous week. The premier cryptocurrency seems to have exhausted its recent rally propelled by industry vulnerabilities. At the time of writing, the world’s largest cryptocurrency was trading slightly lower at $41,385. Bitcoin’s total market cap has dipped by 2% over the past day, while the total volume of BTC tokens traded over the same period climbed by 58%.
Fundamentals
Bitcoin price has been facing retracements and a rollercoaster over the past few days after recently rocketing to a 20-month peak. On-chain data has suggested that many investors used the opportunity to take some profits, leading to a decline in the asset’s price.
Bitcoin’s price slump is mirrored in the wider crypto market, with the global crypto market cap decreasing by 1.85% over the past 24 hours to $1.55 trillion. The total crypto market volume has increased by 32% over the same period. The Crypto Fear and Greed Index has plunged from a level of extreme greed to a greed level of 70, suggesting a decline in risk appetite.
Ethereum, the largest altcoin by market capitalization, is currently trading at $2,167, down almost 3% for the day. Meme coins have been hit hard by the market slump, with Dogecoin and Shiba Inu down by more than 4% over the last day.
Last week on Thursday, cryptocurrency experts took notice of…
Bitcoin price edged lower on Thursday despite optimism in wider markets on the back of the Fed’s interest rate decision. The flagship cryptocurrency has been consolidating above the critical level of $42,000 after briefly topping $44,000, its highest level in 20 months. Bitcoin was trading 0.71% lower at $42,569 at press time. BTC’s total market cap has increased by more than 3% over the last day to $832 billion, while the total volume of the asset traded over the same period jumped by 22%.
Economic Outlook
Bitcoin price has been trading sideways over the past few days, suggesting a pause in its recent rally towards $45,000. The premier cryptocurrency has decreased by 4% in the past week but remains 15.22% higher in the month to date. The digital asset has staged a significant recovery this year after a torrid 2022 in which a string of scandals, including the collapse of FTX, led to a market meltdown, undermining the credibility of the sector.
The crypto market has been buoyed by the Fed’s latest interest rate decision. The US Federal Reserve on Wednesday held its key interest rate unchanged for the third consecutive time, in line with market expectations. With the easing of the inflation rate, members of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) voted to keep the benchmark overnight borrowing rate in a targeted range between 5.25%-5.5%.
Additionally, the central bank indicated that three rate…
Bitcoin price has been hovering above the $43,000 psychological level over the past two days amid anticipation about the potential approval of a spot bitcoin ETF.

Bitcoin’s total market cap has increased by nearly 5% over the past 24 hours to $858.9 billion, while the total volume of the token traded rose by 43%. The Bitcoin price was trading at $43,914 at press time.
Fundamentals
Bitcoin price has posted significant gains over the past few days, climbing to its highest level since April 2022, before the crash of a stablecoin that started a litany of company failures, pummeling crypto prices. The world’s largest cryptocurrency briefly topped the crucial level of $44,000 on Wednesday amid rising momentum despite being massively overbought.
According to analysts, with no spot bitcoin ETF approvals yet and the halving event five to six months away, the market is riding on FOMO. Capital has been flowing in the Bitcoin market amid enthusiasm that the launches of spot ETF will bring in billions of dollars of new investment into the crypto sector.
Investors have already started providing capital as seed money for ETF products. Notably, a recent report by CoinDesk showed that the world’s largest fund manager, BlackRock, received $100,000 in capital from a seed investor for its spot bitcoin exchange-traded fund…
