BTC update
BTC experienced some volatility last week, moving from a low of $34,153 to a high of $39,476. However, both the opening and close prices were near $35,700, creating a doji candle in the weekly time frame.
Technical indicators in the weekly time frame are bearish. The MACD has fallen into negative territory for the first time since November 2019. The RSI has also just crossed below 50 and the Stochastic oscillator has made a bearish cross (red icons).
Currently, BTC is trading at the 0.5 Fib retracement support level at $34,340. The next support is at $27,125, which is the 0.618 Fib retracement support level.

Tether (USDT) has reclaimed the third rank in a move to $62 billion in market cap. Tezos (XTZ) is the biggest altcoin gainer of the day and the only asset in the top-100 seeing double-digit percentage gains today. XTZ is trading for $3.92 in an 11% gain on the day, is up 15% in the past week.
