As of publication time, BTC/USD is exchanging hands at $35,979.07, down 0.08% for the day. According to the Coinmarketcap,  the pioneer crypto coin is sustaining a 24-hour trading volume of $34,647,973,885.

BTC price struggles to hold the support zone

On the weekly chart, the BTC price is under the medium-term downtrend, although since the beginning of the New Year it consolidate in a short-term trading range of $48,000 and $36,000, with few hiccups in between. In addition to that, the 50-day ema (Exponential Moving Average) plays a crucial role in deciding the trend for investors.

In July BTC pierced the moving average and recorded a jump toward record highs. Further, as soon the price sliced 50-day ema, it tested swing lows extending from $32,000 to $35,000.

The breakage of the bullish slopping line would invalidate any bullish argument for the asset so far. A weekly close below $35, 0000 would trigger a key level to amplify selling towards $26,000.

On the flip side, Now as we can see the formation of higher lows since the week ended on July 19 suggests it could be the time for a technical bounce back. If that comes true then BTC price would attempt to take out the $42,000 in the coming few sessions if not immediately.
