Bitcoin (BTC) ended July and entered August today with a major battle between the bulls and the bears taking place. The largest cryptocurrency ended the week at its highest point since mid-June after finishing off its best month of the year in July and overall the best month since last October up around 16.95%. That looks even better when you consider the prior three months returns with April at -17.3%, May at -15.6% and June at -37.3%.

Bitcoin once again reached the critical 200-week moving average and the realized price, both important milestones. The key now will be to continue to hit green weekly candles without going back below those levels. The slew of earnings reports from technology giants last week such as Amazon, Apple, Google and Facebook along with the Federal Reserve's 75 basis point interest rate hike did not slow down Bitcoins positive momentum. Many analyst, however, are still convinced this is simply a "Bear Market Rally" and more pain is in store ahead.

While Bitcoin did reach the $24.5K level last week, $24K still seems to be a pretty strong resistance level. If BTC is able to break through and stay above that figure it could be posed to go higher and threaten as much as $28K. That may be difficult as Bitcoin had been in an oversold position and was due to creep back up to its current price point.

The Crypto fear and greed index, highlighted below, is at 33 up three points from last week despite the recent run up and remains in the "fear" range for the second straight week.
