Expert Insights:
“Bitcoin has dropped 3% overnight and is fighting to hold $28,600 as support (which is in line with its 100-day moving average). This comes as global stock indices, including S&P 500, continue to be in the red – losing gains achieved over the past few months. Any further drop in Bitcoin will push the asset to retest $26,000 over the coming weeks,” says Vikram Subburaj, CEO of Giottus Crypto Platform.
“The BTC/USDT pair remains below the 20-day EMA, and the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is in negative territory. This suggests a minor advantage to the bears. Bitcoin remains confined within a tight range, showing no definite indications of breaking free. The recent market update from QCP Capital suggests that Bitcoin could potentially maintain this subdued state for several weeks before showing significant movement around September,” adds ZebPay Trade desk.
Rajagopal Menon, Vice President at WazirX, notes that major market oscillators point to a Buy sentiment, with various indicators indicating a neutral outlook.
