Equities give crypto no respite

Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView followed BTC/USD as it revisited its lowest levels of the past seven days.

At the time of writing, BTC/USD traded at around $28,800 amid volatility, having hit $28,614 on Bitstamp — a zone last seen on May 18.

The S&P 500 lost 2.4% on the open, while the Nasdaq 100 managed a 3.5% decline.

In a fresh Twitter update, Cointelegraph contributor Michaël van de Poppe flagged a pivot point of $29,400 remaining as resistance, opening up the opportunity for a “sweep” of lower support levels.

“No break of that area at $29.4K, so we’ll see levels that Bitcoin could be testing here,” he commented alongside a chart showing the targets.

“Grey zone has been supported the past week, but a sweep and test around $28.3Kish isn’t a bad thing either. Would be massive for longs.”
