The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is back below the midline, still adding downward pressure. Two scenarios are likely to take place this week. First, Bitcoin price bulls may arrest the bearish situation below $30,000 before it takes shape and push for a substantial rebound toward $33,000 and $35,000, respectively.

However, investors should not fret, with Faibik reckoning that there is a possibility of “a successful clearance of the $31k level, which might pave the way for a significant bullish rally of around 30-35% in August/September.

Other market watchers like the Senior Researcher at LBank Labs, Jonny Teng believe developments surrounding the ruling in the case between Ripple and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) continue to negatively influence trading across the crypto market, with Bitcoin investors choosing to stay cautious.
“The disappointment expressed by SEC chair Gary Gensler over the court’s ruling on the securitization of XRP token has added to uncertainty, with the possibility of an appeal by the SEC further complicating the situation,” Teng.
