July 22, 2024

BITCOIN is currently trading at around $67,300 after reaching a monthly high of $68,400 early this morning. The market cap leader is relatively stable but is up 7% over the past seven days, with the Fear and Greed Index back in the 'Greed' zone.

Ethereum is trading just shy of $3,500 after briefly surpassing this level earlier today. Solana (+4%) and Avalanche (+10%) are among the biggest movers of the day.

Crypto markets are back in the green over a 30-day period following a lengthy downturn, which analysts attribute to selling pressure from the German government selling Bitcoin and ongoing Mt Gox creditor repayments.

Donald Trump is set to speak at the Nashville Bitcoin Conference on Saturday, July 27, which many traders are watching closely for any pro-Bitcoin comments from the presidential nominee.
