Bitcoin price continues to comfortably fluctuate between $4300 and $4400. If it breaks out from this level, it may rally towards $4630 levels. The next psychological target for Bitcoin is $5000, which should act as a strong resistance.
The whole week was relatively quiet for Bitcoin. Although, private cryptocurrencies like Monero, DASH and ZCash rallied throughout the week reaching new highs. Monero (XMR) for instance went up 150% in the last 7 days. The cryptocurrency market cap also looks relatively stable at $156 billion.
At this point investors should book their partial profits, and continue to hold their remaining positions with close stop losses, because there is always resistance at the previous lifetime highs.
Bitcoin Cash on the other hand has remained range bound around $650. BCH price could retest support level of $550 due to not having any reliable buys setup. It will also be interesting to see whether Jackson Hole Symposium, which is starting today, has any effect to the cryptocurrency market.
