BTC volume stood at approximately $18.1 billion, rising 34.35% in the last 24 hours.

“Bitcoin’s price breached the $30000 mark in the early hours of today but consolidated to trading above the $29500 level. This movement could be because of the fall in Chinese trade numbers for July and the U.S. 10-year Treasury yield descending lower by 11 basis points to 3.98%,” Edul Patel, Co-founder and CEO at Mudrex, said.

Other top crypto tokens, BNB, XRP, Dogecoin, Solana, Polygon, and Polkadot were also trading higher on Wednesday.

The market cap of Bitcoin, the world’s largest cryptocurrency, was around $578 billion. Bitcoin’s dominance is currently 48.93%, an increase of 0.12% over the day, according to CoinMarketCap.

“BTC managed to break the $30k resistance level but failed to sustain the momentum, and is currently trading around $29.7k. Given its recent performance, BTC’s support level has been gradually increasing. If BTC continues to trade in a narrow range, it may find strong support at $29k itself in the coming weeks. This could provide a good base for a strong move that may follow,” Shubham Hudda, Senior Manager at CoinSwitch Markets Desk, said.

Rajagopal Menon, Vice President at WazirX, said, “Major market oscillators point toward a Buy sentiment. The Relative Strength Index (14), one of the key indicators, sits at 54, with a neutral outlook. The Stochastic %K (14, 3, 3) and the Average Directional Index (14) is at 62 and 15, respectively, further indicating a Neutral market.”

“The MACD Level (12, 26) at -90 indicates a Buy. The Stochastic RSI Fast (3, 3, 14, 14) is at 76 with a Neutral indicator, while the Williams Percent Range (14) at −30 signals Neutral,” Menon added.
