Bitcoin and Ethereum trundle along sideways as BlackRock pivot runs out of steam

By Darren Parkin

Bitcoin is trading firmly above $30k this morning – a level that was tested yesterday as the flagship cryptocurrency bounced back from a dip to $29.900.

Ethereum’s Ether continues to hover just below $1.9k. Both market leaders are down by less than 1%.

It’s a mixed bag in the rest of the crypto markets as the majority of large-caps are trading in a similar pattern to BTC and ETH.

Analysts say the momentum from the ‘BlackRock pivot’ has subsided somewhat but that July has historically been a strong month for Bitcoin.
