Bitcoin Holds Steady Above $30K as Altcoin Rally Boosts Market Sentiment – Can BTC Bulls Push Price to $35,000 By July’s End?

•  BTC retraced by several hundred dollars as Friday approached.

• A positive indication is that the bulls have managed to maintain Bitcoin’s price above the $30,000 mark.

Bitcoin (BTC) experienced a decline in its price, falling to $30,285, as it attempted to break free from its monotonous sideways movement on July 13, spurred by Ripple’s recent legal victory against the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.

However, this surge in excitement proved to be short-lived, as sellers quickly brought the price back within its established range on July 14, demonstrating their continued activity at higher levels. Nevertheless, a positive indication is that the bulls have managed to maintain Bitcoin’s price above the $30,000 mark.

Moving forward, market observers will be closely monitoring the evaluation process for various proposals of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) related to spot Bitcoin. Among these proposals, BlackRock stands out as one of the most prominent. Notably, Bloomberg Intelligence’s Eric Balchunas and James Seyffart highlight that out of the 550 ETF applications submitted by BlackRock, only one has been rejected, adding to the anticipation surrounding this development.

While Bitcoin continues consolidating and awaits a catalyst for its next move, several alternative cryptocurrencies (altcoins) are experiencing significant buying activity. As a result, Bitcoin’s market dominance has fallen below 50%, indicating a potential shift in focus towards altcoins shortly.

Bitcoin Price Analysis

As a result of the judge’s ruling, most XRP sales do not qualify as security transactions. Bitcoin (BTC) surged below $30,500 to reach a new high in over 13 months.

However, the momentum could not be sustained, and BTC retraced by several hundred dollars as Friday approached. Subsequently, a more forceful rejection occurred, driving its price southward to just below $30,000 for the third time within that week.

Nevertheless, the bulls again took charge and facilitated BTC’s recovery of that psychologically significant threshold by Saturday. Despite the challenges, Bitcoin successfully held onto that level and currently resides approximately $300 higher than it. Its market capitalization and dominance have remained unchanged from the previous day, at $590 billion and 48.5%, respectively.
