Summary:
- Bitcoin breaks down below $8600
- Mayhem related to US-China trade talks as well as Brexit turmoil have supported digital coins
- SEC rejects an application to launch a Bitcoin ETF
Cryptocurrencies have performed quite well so far this week. One may suppose that this strength may be caused, at least to some extent, by turmoil regarding US-China trade discussions as well as a Brexit never-ending story - this is due to the fact that some market participants treat digital currencies like safe assets.
After notable price gains Bitcoin faced a major obstacle in the form of $8600, and the price has moved back since. Moreover, Bitcoin has already broken below the lower bound of the bullish channel which may not bode well for bulls. A strong support could be found nearby $8060 (the 38.2% retracement spans at the same area). In turn, once bulls take control anew, they will have to smash $8600. Source: xStation5
