“#Bitcoin Has been finding support on the bottom of the range and 4H 200MA/EMA,” he continued in a further tweet about the four-hour 200-period moving average and exponential moving average.“So far, the bounce has not been very convincing yet and the lower timeframes are extremely choppy. $30.5K and $29.5K remain my levels of interest in the short term.”BTC/USD annotated chart.

On-chain monitoring resource Material Indicators meanwhile noted the significance of the 21-day SMA, suggesting that a temporary peak may be in for BTC/USD.


“A hard rejection from technical resistance at the 21-Day Moving Avg and more asks stacking at $31k could indicate things are getting toppy for the moment,” part of the July 20 analysis read.“Bulls need to regroup here and gather the herd if they want a legit chance to stampede past those sell walls.”

The impact on the U.S. dollar was pronounced, with the U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) gaining ground to near 101 for the first time in several days.


“So today, Initial Jobless Claims was less than previous & forecasted so the trajectory expected for increasing layoffs is slower (lower is good for USD),” popular trader Skew wrote in part of a response. U.S. dollar index 1-day chart. Source: TradingView
