The following is what analysts and investors expect for the Bitcoin price next.

CME Group futures bullish

As mentioned above, Chicago Mercantile Exchange futures The basis touched a negative level yesterday and then reversed sharply. All the data indicate that people are buying futures contracts because the BTC price has fallen below its price range for several months.”

Multiple resistance zones remain on the path of Bitcoin

Bitcoin’s rebound above $32,000 has rekindled the bullish optimism of many traders, but due to the existence of multiple resistance zones, the road ahead is by no means a walk in the park.

According to Rekt Capital, an anonymous cryptocurrency Twitter analyst, many of Bitcoin’s previous support levels, including $35,000 and $37,000, may soon become resistance levels.

At the time of writing, the price of Bitcoin is trying to continuously break above $32,200, and that price has been stuck for most of the day.

Historically, exchange inflows have soared near the bottom of the market

Another bullish sign comes from anonymous Twitter user IzzyEibani, who emphasized that the recent surge in foreign exchange inflows may indicate that the bottom has bottomed.

A closer look at the chart shows that in the past three events occurred on August 1, 2017, November 30, 2018, and March 12, 2020, and the funds flowing into the exchange soared in a manner similar to July 16. Each time the market bottomed out within a short period of time after the inflow.
