Bitcoin (BTC) saw fresh volatility after July’s final Wall Street open as highs north of $24,000 remained solid resistance.
Resistance strikes BTC at $24,000
маалыматтарды Cointelegraph Markets Pro жана TradingView reflected bulls’ continuing struggle as BTC/USD lurched around the $24,000 mark on July 29.
The pair had attempted to match the week’s local top of $24,450, this ultimately failing to materialize as a resurgent U.S. dollar pressured crypto despite the gains of U.S. stocks .
The U.S. dollar index (DXY) continued higher during the Wall Street trading, passing 106 after falling to its lowest levels since July 5.
Record eurozone inflation added to the mix of macro triggers on the day, while the monthly close remained a guessing game for Bitcoin analysts.
On short timeframes, popular trader Crypto Tony eyed what he called a “classic short setup” around the high, which remained Bitcoin’s best since mid-June.

Nonetheless, other key levels remained apt to act as support in the event of a deeper drawdown. These included Bitcoin’s 200-week moving average at around $22,800 and realized price at $21,820.

After the mayhem, which began with the Terra (LUNA) — now renamed Terra Classic (LUNC) — collapse in May, a “resetting” had occurred throughout crypto assets, the report argued.
