Bitcoin reaches new yearly highs, surging to $31.5K.

Bitcoin (BTC) reached new highs in 2023 on July 6 as a fresh bounce off key support buoyed bulls.

Bitcoin analyst warns of “predatory range”

Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView showed BTC price action surging through the top of its recent trading range.

Analysts had previously expected the largest cryptocurrency to drop further, potentially reaching $28,000 to offer a classic “buy the dip” opportunity.

• CEL falls after Celisus Network and former CEO are found guilty.
• Bitcoin near $30K unaffected by BlackRock CEO comments and hawkish FOMC minutes.
• Crypto trade volume at lowest point since 2020 amidst market turbulence.

With momentum heading back upward, Michaël van de Poppe, founder and CEO of trading firm Eight, was optimistic.

“I hope your long entries are filled on Bitcoin. Looks quite decent here, and I think we’ll slowly continue grinding to the upside,” he told Twitter followers.

“- Breaking & Flipping $30.8K shall result in fast upwards momentum. – Retesting $30.3K would be equal for longs again.”

The uptick came several hours after Larry Fink, CEO of the largest global asset manager BlackRock, called Bitcoin an “international asset” and listed several advantages during a live interview.

BlackRock’s application to launch the United States’ first Bitcoin spot-price exchange-traded fund (ETF) was refiled with regulators this week.

Continuing the analysis, financial commentator Tedtalksmacro was more cautious, warning that derivatives traders could still influence short-term market direction.

After longs were flushed yesterday, decent spot bid thus far… but perps chasing up here. Predatory range vibes. https://t.co/T7T2iHkeJC pic.twitter.com/0UrmWaWgrj

“Nothing but bullish consolidation”

Zooming out, popular trader John Wick said that there was nothing to fear about Bitcoin’s extended consolidation near yearly highs.

Analytics account PlanC was equally hopeful that the current phase would end in the bulls’ favor. Bitcoin’s two-year exponential moving average (EMA), currently at $28,500, was in focus.

“Bitcoin is battling to stay above the 2-Year EMA; historically, when it does, this is a bullish sign,” it stated on the day.

“All previous cycle lows occurred when BTC was 45% to 55% below the 2-year EMA, which has already happened.”
