Bitcoin (BTC) attempted to break away from its boring sideways price action on July 13, following Ripple’s legal victory over the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, but the enthusiasm proved to be short-lived. Sellers pulled the price back into the range on July 14, indicating that they remain active at higher levels. However, a positive sign is that the bulls have kept Bitcoin’s price above $30,000.
Market observers are expected to closely follow the review process for the various exchange-traded fund (ETF) proposals for a spot Bitcoin ETF, one of the most prominent being the proposal by BlackRock. Interestingly, out of 550 ETF applications by BlackRock, only one has been rejected, according to Bloomberg Intelligence’s Eric Balchunas and James Seyffart.
Even as Bitcoin consolidates, waiting for its next catalyst, several altcoins are witnessing solid buying. This has pulled Bitcoin’s market dominance below 50%, suggesting that the focus could be shifting to the altcoins in the near term.
Could Bitcoin start a trending move in the short term, or will it remain stuck inside the range? What are the altcoins that are looking strong on the charts? Let’s study the charts of the top-five cryptocurrencies that could be on traders’ radar in the next few days.
