Bitcoin continues to hold near $40,000

Two days ago, on Monday, the flagship cryptocurrency briefly recaptured the $40,000 level after dropping below $30,000 on July 21, recovering to $32,300 thanks to the B-Word conference between Musk and Dorsey. It traded in that area for about a week.

The surge back to $40,000 took place ahead of the Tesla Q2 earnings report release. Another reason for the rise was the short squeeze faced by the Bitcoin market. Besides, Musk stated that neither he nor Tesla nor SpaceX are going to sell their Bitcoins.

At press time, the largest digital currency by market cap is changing hands at $39,846, according to data provided by CoinMarketCap.

Prominent crypto trader and analyst Michael van de Poppe believes that Bitcoin is looking for a higher low at the moment, so he believes that the correction should not seem strange to market participants.
