Top cryptocurrency prices today (21 July): After rising for three consecutive days, prices of several top cryptos have declined in the last 24 hours. The global crypto market cap continues to remain over the psychological $1 trillion level while the prices of top two coins – Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) – have dropped up to 5%.
The global cryptocurrency market cap declined by 3.5% to $1.02 trillion in the last 24 hours, according to CoinMarketCap data at the time of writing (11.21 am, India time). The total crypto market volume over the last 24 hours was $97 billion.
Bitcoin (BTC) dominance increased by 0.62% to 42.68% while ETH dominated 17.7% of the total crypto markets. BTC price has decreased by 2.45% in the last 24 hours. At the time of writing, BTC was trading at $22,916. In the last 7 days, BTC price has increased by 14%.
“Bitcoin continued its upward momentum and crossed the $24,000 level before dropping back below $23,000 as news of Tesla selling off almost 75% of its Bitcoin holdings came in. The sentiment towards Bitcoin kept improving and is at its highest level since mid of April, 2022. On the daily time frame, the BTC trend had earlier broken out of the descending triangle pattern and continues to remain above the pattern, even after a minor dip in prices. The next key resistance level for BTC is expected at $32,300,” analysts at WazirX Trade Desk shared in a note.
BTC touched a one-month high of $24,265 this week while trying to climb above its 50-day simple moving average (SMA). Experts say that BTC price near the key moving average could be a reliable indicator of trends in the medium trends. However, a strong buy momentum is required to keep the prices up.
“Bitcoin and Ethereum rallied for another consecutive day on Wednesday, reaching US$24,000 and US$1,600, with bulls dominating the market. However, both the cryptos have been seen to be running slightly lower early this morning than the previous day,” Edul Patel, co-founder and CEO of Mudrex, a crypto investing platform, said.
“If bulls can maintain consistency and hold above the current level, we might see BTC rise from US$27,000 to US$32,000 in the coming days. If not, we might see BTC fall back to US$21,000. Similarly, if bulls can hold ETH above US$1,500, we might see it reach US$1,700. If not, it may fall back below the US$1,400 level,” he added.
