Cryptocurrencies Price Prediction: Bitcoin, Solana & Ethereum – European Wrap 19 August

Bitcoin price stabilizes around $58,000; bearish outlook remains intact

Bitcoin (BTC) trades around $58,000 on Monday, down 0.7% on the day and extending the consolidation phase between $57,000 and $62,000 seen in the past ten days. From a technical perspective, the bearish thesis still prevails as BTC struggles to overcome key resistance levels and momentum indicators look weak. Still, investors’ behavior and data about miners’ recent activity suggest a decline in selling pressure, providing some support to the main crypto asset.
