BeInCrypto presents our daily morning roundup of crypto news and market changes that you might have missed while you were asleep.

Bitcoin update

After the bullish engulfing candlestick on July 21, BTC increased slightly the next day, creating another small bullish candlestick.

It’s still holding on above the $31,300 horizontal support area, which has now been reclaimed.

Technical indicators are showing bullish signs. The MACD has created two higher momentum bars but is still below 0, the RSI is increasing and is almost above 50, and the slope of the stochastic oscillator is gradually turning bullish, but there is no bullish cross in place yet.

The closest resistance area is the middle of the range at $35,900.
