source-logo  beincrypto.com 24 July 2023 08:14, UTC

The Bitcoin (BTC) price and the crypto market cap (TOTALCAP) are hovering just above support without initiating a significant upward movement. Synthetix (SNX) has created a bearish double-top pattern.

Worldcoin Token (WLD), a cryptocurrency project created by Chat GPT’s CEO, will go live today.

Crypto Market Cap (TOTALCAP) Hovers Above Support

Starting from June 15, TOTALCAP has witnessed a significant upswing. By June 20, it surpassed a descending parallel channel and successfully broke through the $1.15 trillion resistance zone after a 10-day climb. On July 13, it almost reached a new yearly peak; however, it experienced a sharp subsequent downturn (red icon) that is still ongoing.

Notwithstanding this drop, TOTALCAP is currently trading above the $1.15 trillion mark, where it bounced back three days ago (green icon).

Should TOTALCAP breach this threshold, it is anticipated to decline further toward the subsequent support level at $1.05 trillion. On the other hand, a rebound may propel TOTALCAP’s potential rise to $1.50 trillion.

Bitcoin (BTC) Risks Breakdown From Corrective Pattern

Starting on July 13, the price of BTC experienced a decline as it was unable to break through the resistance line of an ascending parallel channel. This led to the price reaching a low point of $29,512 on July 18.

After the drop, there was a rebound that served to validate both the channel’s support line and the horizontal support area at $30,000. However, as of now, the price has not shown a strong upward trend. On the contrary, BTC is hovering just above the confluence of support levels.

Should there be an upward movement, there is a possibility for the price to rise towards the channel’s midline, with the potential to reach the resistance line at $31,500.

Conversely, if the BTC price breaks down, it is anticipated to decrease to $29,100. The 0.382 Fibonacci retracement support level establishes this particular support level.

Synthetix (SNX) Price Shows Weakness

The SNX price has increased alongside an ascending support line since June 10. The upward movement led to a high of $3.30 on July 14. However, the price has fallen since. While it attempted to initiate another upward movement, the price created a double top on July 21 (red icons). This is considered a bearish pattern.

If a decrease occurs as a result of the double top, the SNX price could fall to the ascending support line at $2.30. However, an increase to $4 could transpire if the price recovers and breaks out.
