Even in the face of some high-profile opposition, cryptocurrency prices continue to rise, GlobalBlock sales trader Alexandra Clark said in her latest research note.
While recent commentary from Janet Yellen and Elizabeth Warren was negative, Bitcoin reached a high north of $40,000 July 27. While the news that Amazon denied plans to accept crypto payments served as a bit of a drag, Bitcoin is taking at shot at breaking past the $40,550 resistance area. Technical indicators are bullish, with Bitcoin’s price breaking above the 200-day EMA, the RSI crossing above 70 and the Stochastic oscillator making a bullish cross, although it has yet to cross the 200-day SMA. Should that SMA cross occur, that could prove to investors that the bulls are driving the train.
