The Bitcoin price has quickly recovered from its recent dip to a
six-month low of $53,500 on July 5th, reclaiming the $66,000 level
and setting its sights on retesting its all-time high of $73,700
reached in March. This resurgence comes as major airlines,
medical facilities, corporations, and police forces worldwide
grapple with a massive information technology (IT) disruption
affecting Microsoft’s cloud computing services. Bitcoin Price
Unaffected By Global IT Outage Cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike shed
light on the cause of the outages, attributing them to a “routine
software update” that went wrong. To reassure the public,
CrowdStrike emphasized that the incident was not a security breach
or cyberattack. The company then quickly issued a new
software update that automatically repaired some affected
computers. However, some systems required manual reboots and
patching, resulting in significant delays. Related Reading: ETH

Approval, What’s Going On? Microsoft, on its part, announced the
recovery of its 365 apps and services late Friday morning, though
some individual customers may still experience residual impact.
Interestingly, amid the chaos caused by the IT outage,
cryptocurrency prices remained unaffected, capturing the attention
of US Senator Cynthia Lummis. Known for her pro-crypto and
Bitcoin stance, Senator Lummis took to social media platform X
(formerly Twitter) to highlight the resilience of the Bitcoin price
amid widespread cyber outages, stating: “Do you know what
form of currency hasn’t been affected by widespread cyber outages?
Bitcoin. Vires in Numeris.” Meanwhile, speculation surrounding
Bitcoin’s potential as a strategic reserve asset for the United
States has been intensifying. Anticipation has been further
fueled by the upcoming appearance of former US President Donald
Trump in Nashville on July 27, who some predict will announce the
largest cryptocurrency on the market as a key to the US economy,
potentially providing a massive boost to the Bitcoin price. Sell
Signal Emerges As the Bitcoin price continues its recovery, crypto
analyst Ali Martinez has detected a significant development on the
Bitcoin daily chart as the TD Sequential indicator has generated a
sell signal. However, the analyst noted that the signal can
be invalidated if Bitcoin manages to close above the crucial
threshold of $67,500. The cryptocurrency’s current price stands at
$66,666, reflecting a 5% increase within the past 24 hours and an
impressive surge of over 16% in the past week alone.
Sustaining a close above the level identified by Martinez becomes
paramount to avoid a potential correction on its path towards the
highly anticipated $70,000 milestone. Related Reading: Bitcoin

Bitcoin’s upward trajectory is strong, it may encounter resistance
at various price levels before reaching its target noted by bearish
thresholds at $67,600, $68,380, and $69,700, which could pose
challenges to Bitcoin’s price rise. Conversely, Bitcoin can
find support from its 200-day exponential moving average (EMA),
currently positioned at $62,600, which represents a long-term trend
indicator, often regarded as a robust support level. Featured image
