“The upside has not been very solid so far and the lower time frame has been extremely volatile. The $30.5K and $29.5K remain areas of interest for me in the near term.

Meanwhile, the on-chain monitoring Resource Content indicator took note of the importance of the 21-day SMA, suggesting that a temporary bounce could be coming for BTC/USD.

Part of the July 20 analysis is, “A strong rejection of technical resistance at the 21-day EMA and more calls to pile up $31k could signal that things are just getting worse.” Reading,

“If the bulls want a legitimate chance to get past those selling walls, they need to regroup here and herd.”
