Crypto Price Analysis & Overview July 23rd: Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple, Cardano, & Polygon.

Bitcoin

Bitcoin saw a slight 2.3% price hike this week as it trades near $32,500. The cryptocurrency saw a very interesting week in which it spiked lower and produced a daily candle beneath $30K. It quickly rebounded from there and broke back above 30K to reach the 20-day MA at around $32,700. In doing so, BTC is now above a long-term descending wedge that it has been trading inside since mid-May.

The coin was trading inside a descending triangle pattern at the start of the week and went on to break beneath the floor at around $31,200 on Monday. On Tuesday, it dipped further, reaching as low as $29,300 and producing the daily candle close beneath $30K.

From there, BTC quickly rebounded on Wednesday to reach the upper angle of the long-term falling wedge that it was trading within. It broke above this wedge yesterday as it continues to test the resistance at the 20-day MA.

On the short-term chart, the drop beneath $30K caused BTC to break beneath the descending price channel it was trading inside since the start of July. However, the quick recovery allowed BTC to climb back into the channel and now test the upper angle.

Looking ahead, once the buyers break the 20-day MA at $32,700, the first resistance lies at $33,500. This is followed by the 50-day MA at $34,360, $36,000 (July high), and $36,620. Added resistance lies at $38,000 and $40,000.
