Share Facebook Twitter Reddit Pinterest Email Telegram Bitcoin is a volatile asset, but BTC price can stay flat for days, weeks and even months for various reasons. The price of Bitcoin (BTC) is fluctuating inside a narrow trading range for several days, and Aug. 2 is no different. Why is Bitcoin price stuck? Bitcoinprice fell nearly 1% to around $29,500 on the day. Still, the move downside was part of a flat market trend that started a week ago, wherein the price has traded inside the $28,850-29,660 range. The sideways trend follows Bitcoin’s 4% drop below $30,000 last week, primarily due to the Federal Reserve’s interest rate hike. Rate increases have historically been bearish for non-yielding cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. Nonetheless, Wall Street economists anticipate a rate hike pause in the next Fed meeting in September, which may be limited Bitcoin’s downside below $29,000. On the flip side, the BTC struggles to stay above $30,000 — a psychological resistance level — due to broader market risks. That includes regulatory uncertainty around Binance — the world’s largest crypto exchange by volume — and a recent Defi exploit costing $47 million. The ongoing bias conflict in the Bitcoin market has coincided with depleting institutional interest. According to CoinShares’ weekly report, investors withdrew about $19.4 million from Bitcoin-based investment funds in the week ending July 28.

If the price breaks above the $30,000, then BTC’s likelihood of rallying toward $31,500, a local peak level, is high for the month of August. The upside target seems valid as long as BTC price trades above its multi-month ascending trendline support. Nonetheless, breaking decisively below the 50-day EMA and the ascending trendline risks crashing Bitcoin toward its 200-day EMA (the blue wave) near $27,000. This level served as support during the March-April session earlier this year, This article does not contain investment advice or recommendations.
