Bitcoin prices have been moving in an upward channel for a month and a half. The positive for the cryptocurrency is that the quotes have re-fixed above the $22,000 area and the 21-day moving average. According to recent reports, BlackRock, the largest investment fund, has opened access to Bitcoin trading to its institutional clients.

🇺🇸The dollar index (DXY) holds positions near 106.50.

📊On the side of the buyers of the dollar statistics on the labor market. Recall that the US Department of Labor reported an increase in the number of new jobs created by the American economy outside the agricultural sector in July by 528 thousand, which turned out to be more than twice better than experts' forecast. In addition, last month the US unemployment rate fell from 3.6% to 3.5%, hitting a 50-year low.

📰Strong statistics on the labor market allows the Fed to actively raise interest rates, which will continue to support the bullish dynamics of the US currency. According to the CME Group FedWatch Tool, there is a 68.5% chance of a 75 basis point rate hike in September, up from 29% a week earlier.🧐

📈Analysts recommend holding long DXY positions with the target at 108.00.🚀

UPDATE:

Цена торгуется в зоне концентрации горизонтальных объемов - РОС над ЕМА. По технике дальнейшие движения вверх к синему углу или вниз к 21 000$ - равновероятны.
Также сегодня в 15:30 выйдут данные по инфляции в США, что скорее всего может вызвать "вертолет" (сильные движения в обе стороны - повышенная волатильность) на рынке криптовалют в том числе.

Это значит, что грамотным решением будет перевести стопы в безубыток (позиции, которые набирались по ~20800 и / или по 22500$), сделать частичные фиксации и проверить риски.

Сегодня я закрыл почти все позиции по битку и альтам (суммарно в плюс), что набирал ранее.
Считаю, что оптимальным решением будет побыть в стороне и понаблюдать.
