Traders bet on $27,500 BTC price ceiling<\/h2>\n

Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView showed BTC\/USD hitting lows of $26,519 on Bitstamp after the daily close.<\/p>\n

The pair showed little signs of a trend change as a stalemate between bulls and bears continued to produce little volatility.<\/p>\n

The collection of moving averages (MAs)\u00a0and the short-term holder (STH)\u00a0realized price\u00a0near $26,000, thus staying untested on intraday timeframes.<\/p>\n

Analyzing the current setup, popular trader Crypto Ed considered the potential for upside topping out at $27,500.<\/p>\n

\u201cI do think we go down, but as long as we do not break that $26,000, there is a chance for a bullish surprise,\u201d he said in a YouTube update on the day.<\/p>\n

To break the current impasse, Crypto Ed continued, Bitcoin would nonetheless need to tackle the area above $27,600.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow I think we bounce back toward $27,500 \u2014 resistance of the previous range high \u2014 and from there I will be looking for, possibly, shorts toward $25,000,\u201d he confirmed.<\/p>\n

Fellow trader Crypto Tony likewise urged caution until $27,500 returned. His focus was on the largest altcoin Ether (ETH), which rebounded from lows of $1,840 at the May monthly close to hit $1,897 on the day.<\/p>\n

“Now i have gone over the structure and we really are not bullish unless we flip $2,000 into support,” part of Twitter commentary\u00a0warned. <\/p>\n

An accompanying chart presented a target of $1,700 or lower should the $2,000 mark fail to flip.<\/p>\n

Popular trader Moustache was equally upbeat about a Bitcoin copycat move based on bullish signals from the S&P 500.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf the S&P 500 looks bullish, so does Bitcoin,\u201d he concluded in part of his latest market analysis.<\/p>\n

Moustache built on existing findings from January, in which he predicted similar moves on Bitcoin should the S&P 500 stage a comeback.<\/p>\n
