We have a green candle! Last week the "king of crypto" had it's first green candle after nine consecutive down weeks.
It was another Bitcoin (BTC) relief bounce over the last day with the coin holding above it's support levels currently sitting around $27K and $30K. BTC is continuing to follow stocks which were largely positive over to start the week. The RSI (Relative Strength Index) remained above 50, which is the neutral mark. Bitcoin is slowly heading higher after reaching it's current cycles low of $25,338 back on May 12. Expect to see the next resistance level starting around $33K which the coin now has firmly in it's sights.
The Crypto fear and greed index, highlighted below, is at 13 climbing three points from last week and remains in "extreme fear" currently a sign that investors are very nervous about Bitcoins price direction.
