Bitcoin continues to gain momentum and is now moving in a rising uptrend channel formation above $54000. BTCUSD continues its bullish run today in the European trading session, having crossed the level of $57000. Bitcoin is trading above both 100 hourly simple and exponential moving averages. The rally in the BTC continues with fresh buying support seen after it touched an intraday low of $56439 today in the Asian trading session.

The medium to long term outlook for bitcoin remains bullish with immediate targets for today at $58500.

Commodity channel index (14-day) and ultimate oscillator are both indicating a BUY at the current market levels of $57450.

• Bitcoin crossed its major resistance levels of $51357 and continues to remain above these levels.
• BTCUSD short-term correction is expected towards $56000 today in the US trading session.
• The price is now trading above its pivot levels of $57314.
• A high relative strength (RSI) of 58.60 is a sign of overbought levels.

Bitcoin’s Rally Towards $60K Confirmed

BTCUSD price may also get into a consolidation phase below $57000 today in the US trading session. Bitcoin dips are well supported this week and the price remains above its classic support levels of $56454 and Fibonacci support levels of $56773. Now the price of bitcoin needs to clear the Woodie’s resistance level of $58029 after which the path towards $62000 will get cleared.

In the last 24hrs BTCUSD is up by +1.43% at +1057$ and has a 24hr trading volume of USD 40.167 billion.

Bitcoin Gaining Traction

There has been an increased demand for bitcoin from Central and Latin America after the adoption of bitcoin as legal tender by El Salvador. The increase in the number of peer to peer (P2P) transactions seen in both Central and Latin America is fueling the demand for bitcoin and its wide scale adoption and usage.

Bitcoin dips remain well supported with increased buying pressure seen above $54000. The demand for bitcoin remains at an all-time high on major cryptocurrency exchanges worldwide.

The Week Ahead

The price of BTCUSD is moving between the support level of $52000 and its major resistance level of $63500. Now, if the bull run continues, we will see BTCUSD printing at above $60000, but if the bearish correction starts, the prices will go down towards the $55000 handle.

Since the medium-term outlook remains bullish, we will see BTCUSD closing above $60000 this week and crossing the levels of $62000 in the opening of next week.

Bitcoin Trades Back Above $60,000, Eyes New Record Highs

Cryptocurrency traders and investors are cheering the recent bitcoin rally. The leading cryptocurrency is trading back above $60,000, coming close to a new all-time high.

The most recent data related to the crypto market size explains why bitcoin has attracted so many buyers in the latest months. The global crypto market size keeps growing, with more and more people shifting their gaze to crypto assets. In a single month, from May to June 2021, the crypto market added 18 million new users. Because bitcoin is the most popular coin, it is likely that the new funds injected into the crypto space went to it.

Bullish Developments in the Crypto Space

Besides the increased popularity in the cryptocurrency space, as suggested by the rising number of crypto users, some other recent bitcoin-related events can be characterized as bullish.

One comes from the Security and Exchange Commission (SEC). It is poised to approve the first-ever bitcoin ETF, which would open the space to a much wider investors base. This news alone was largely responsible for bitcoin’s recent rally. An ETF is an exchange-traded fund that tracks the price movements of its underlying – in this case, bitcoin. Investors favor ETFs due to them being a cost-efficient way of trading expensive assets.

Another such driver is the Bank of America’s decision to introduce coverage of digital assets as the cryptocurrency market reached $2 trillion in market value.

The recent developments triggered enthusiasm among crypto traders, and so the crypto market continues to rise. In the meantime, bitcoin has surpassed Facebook in terms of market value and is on track to take the silver.

Bitcoin traded close to $65,000 back in April this year, and it corrected after Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, suggested that the digital asset is too expensive. The current upwards movement also helps Tesla, as the company holds more than $1 billion worth of bitcoins on its balance sheet.

EURUSD Volatility Expected to Increase As ECB's Decision Looms

The EURUSD has been trading in relatively tight ranges recently despite important economic data releases. The pair has found strong support at the 1.16 level as buyers stepped in on every move below. However, the bounces have been shallow and with little or no follow-through.

This week, the price action on the EURUSD is expected to increase dramatically as investors prepare for two crucial events that will impact the currency pair: the European Central Bank meeting, and the Federal Reserve of the United States (FED) meeting next week.

The Fed to Officially Announce Tapering

The Fed is set to officially announce the tapering of its asset purchases at next week's meeting. Last Friday, the Fed's chair said he believed that the time for tapering had come — but the EURUSD did not react, perhaps because the news came late on a Friday afternoon.

The statement is clearly hawkish for the dollar, and it should weigh on the EURUSD pair, especially since the ECB considers an opposite strategy. It will not taper yet; thus, the two monetary policies diverge.

The EURUSD is the most popular currency pair on the FX dashboard and one that sets the course for the dollar index. Despite finding buyers below 1.16 in the last weeks, the bias remains bearish heading into the two central banks meetings.

On Thursday, the focus sits with the ECB press conference and its staff's economic projections. As always, projections for inflation expectations are key for the euro. On Friday, investors will start to prepare for the Fed meeting scheduled for next week, and if the ECB keeps its dovish bias, the chances are that the EURUSD will test its recent lows around the 1.15 level.
