On the daily time frame, the price of Bitcoin (BTC) has failed to fix above the level of $29,508, which means that sellers remain more powerful than buyers. In this regard, the more likely scenario is the ongoing correction to the $28,500 range.

From the midterm point of view, traders should focus on the previous candle low at $28,842. If the closure happens far from it, buyers may seize the initiative, which can lead to a rise to $30,000.

Such a scenario is relevant until mid-August.

Bitcoin is trading at $29,255 at press time.
