Bitcoin (BTC) threatened fresh downside over the weekend as markets geared up for the July 23 candle close.
Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView showed acting below $30,000, now set as intraday resistance.
July 22 saw a brief dip to $29,640 before a recovery in time for the daily close, but traders remained worried that worse was to come.

“So we have a double top rejection currently on BTC, so we need to really make a note of levels incase we drop,” popular trader Crypto Tony warned Twitter followers in fresh analysis of the 3-day chart.
Fellow trader and analyst Nebraskan Gooner admitted that downward BTC price action “seems likely,” noting that BTC/USD had sunk below the narrow range in play for the past month.

Others were ready and waiting for volatility to reenter the market, but would not be drawn on whether Bitcoin would ultimately break out or break down to test levels from earlier in the year.
Among them was popular trader and analyst Toni Ghinea, who envisaged a make-or-break decision for the recent narrow price range in the coming week.
“I'm expecting a big move with $BTC next week. 31-32k is resistance. 29k is support. Keep it simple,” he summarized.
Earlier, Cointelegraph reported on the significance of various trend lines acting as support and resistance.
The coming week should provide plenty of potential volatility indicators as markets digest macroeconomic policy cues.
