Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView showed BTC price action spiking to new July highs over the weekend.

Unsurprisingly, market participants showed no shortage of optimism as a result.


Popular trader Benjamin Cowen hoped that the 20-week simple moving average (SMA) at $65,650 would function as support going forward.

Cowen referred to the Bitcoin bull market support band, an area of interest between the 20-week SMA and the 21-week exponential moving average (EMA). As Cointelegraph reported, BTC/USD has traded above the band for the majority of its latest bull market.

On monthly timeframes, he continued, BTC/USD had successfully retested its old 2021 all-time high as support in part of an ongoing resistance/support flip.

In further evidence of the extent of the crypto recovery, sentiment reached its "greediest" in over a month, as measured by the Crypto Fear & Greed Index.

The classic sentiment gauge, which uses a basket of factors to compute an aggregate mood score for crypto markets, stood just below "extreme greed" on the day at 74/100.
