William Suberg1 hour agoBitcoin analysis agrees BTC price may stall at $35KBTC price will have trouble breaking above $35,000, various analysts warn, as major resistance appears on Binance.699 Total viewsListen to article 0:00Markets NewsJoin us on social networksBitcoin (BTC) bulls face a tough task to bring BTC price action past $35,000, fresh analysis predicts.


In its latest market update on July 5, trading firm QCP Capital flagged the mid-$30,000 range as a potential cooling-off point for the Bitcoin bull market.Bitcoin homes in on post-FTX rally peak


With BTC price stagnating around $30,000, concerns are mounting that the majority of its gains have already materialized.


The area between $35,000 and $40,000 is now particularly popular among market participants seeking to catch a local top, and QCP is one of them.


“Tactically (short-term), our favoured trade to play this is selling end-Sep 33k to 35k calls, and using the premiums to buy 30k puts,” it summarized about its plans for H2 trading.


QCP highlighted incoming resistance for the moving average convergence/divergence (MACD) indicator — designed to measure price strength at given levels during a market trend — at $35,000.


“The top-side levels work well as any rally from here would be considered the ending 5th wave from the November FTX lows,” it continued.“The 33-35k level is also where we see wedge resistance as well as MACD hitting 3-year triangle resistance.”BTC/USD charts with MACD triangle.

The update also referenced a cooling macroeconomic environment potentially offering few volatility cues for markets.


The United States Federal Reserve remains hawkish, and officials have maintained that further interest rate hikes will come this year despite inflation showing a consistent downtrend.


“On the macro side, the Fed looks locked into another hike this month (although this is largely priced by markets), and inflation appears likely to stagnate around 3-4% until year-end, with positive base effects from the oil price decline ending this quarter, and high frequency rent prices turning back up,” it explained.“This means that while falling inflation has been getting the market excited, for the Fed with their 2% inflation target blinkers on - its close but probably still not enough for rate cuts.”


When it comes to the principal catalyst for BTC price strength over the past month — the potential U.S. approval of the first Bitcoin spot-based exchange-traded fund (ETF) — there is likewise no imminent decision due, QCP added.$30 million Binance ask sparks concerns


Elsewhere, traders on the day continually raised the possibility of a fresh BTC price correction.
