At the time of writing, Bitcoin (BTC) had already dropped well below the $6400 USD level to $6345.3 USD and the market sentiment is largely bearish. (As of 11th July 2018) The price action of BTC/USD pair, as observed from the chart, shows that it had started falling after a slight upward movement over the weekend, and had dropped yesterday from nearly $6696.06 to almost $6307.64. Comparatively, the cryptocurrency is trying to recover a little bit today with approximately 0.69% (24h) rise at the time of writing.
The price of Bitcoin had dipped below $6000 level by the end of June but, the bulls had taken over at the beginning of July. This had given a little hope to the investors. As can be seen on the chart, it was quite close to the $6800 level but the price movement had trespassed the support areas at $6600 and $6400. Even though the declines seem to have paused above the 50% Fibonacci retracement, there seems to be another rising wedge pattern that may end in more declines in the medium-term.
Bitcoin Cash (BCH/USD)
Price Analysis
- High: $688.2 USD
- Low: $84.7 USD
- Major Resistance Level: $735
- Hourly MACD: Very slowly moving towards the Bullish zone.

The price of BCH/USD pair is experiencing a major bearish trend and has gone beyond the $700 level. Even if the pair corrects in the short-term it is still unsure whether the price will move to create a major uptrend. Yesterday, the Bitcoin Cash market had experienced a sharp downfall in price, from a little above $750 to nearly $684. The price of Bitcoin Cash at the time of writing shows $688.2 USD while the market tries to recover a little, nearly 0.15% (24h) increase. (As of 11th July 2018)
According to the chart, resistances have formed above the $706 level with $710 (previous support) being a key barrier at the moment. Chances are there that the price of the BCH/USD pair can move beyond the $710 level. The major resistance is formed at the $735 level based on the hourly chart and the same trend line is quite close to the 50% Fibonacci retracement level. As the 100 hourly SMA is positioned near resistance line $735, if the price moves uptrend and reaches the level then it is more likely to face some challenges. The upside is that if the price steadies itself above the $710 level there is a chance of formation of a stronger uptrend. It is also to be seen how the news of the upcoming Bitcoin Cash hard fork in November 2018 (released today) will affect the market.
The Fibonacci retracement levels for both Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash at the moment shows there is still a chance of recovery for the crypto coins and move into the bullish 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…
