After failing to sustain its bullish momentum above $9,200, Bitcoin has been on a steady decline. As of press time, it is trading just over $8,600 — a key support level. A dip below could cause it to slide further down towards $8,400.

Some analysts are of the view that the reemergence of the US-China trade tensions may have something to do with Bitcoin’s poor start to the week. However, the overall market sentiment still seems pretty bullish — especially with Bitcoin’s third halving only a week away.

Bulls are optimistic that the current decline could be just a brief pullback and Bitcoin will soon resume its upward momentum towards the resistance around $9,500

Whale Alert (@whale_alert) reported late last week that Ripple has unlocked more tokens, as expected.

Yesterday, the team transferred 1B XRP in total in three separate transactions of 500M, 400M, and 100M XRP. The total XRP unlocked in May is worth around $220M at current prices. It’s still unclear why the Ripple team needs hundreds of millions of dollars every month.

Bitcoin closed the seventh consecutive weekly gain last week, which hasn’t happened in over a year now. It was between March and April of 2019 when it last happened, and that rally helped the benchmark cryptocurrency drag itself out of the proverbial ‘crypto winter.’
