At the beginning of the new week of August, the BTC is growing. This is good news: if the leading crypto remains stubborn and confident, it might escape the flat by the upper border. Now the BTC costs $23,787.

The task of the crypto sector for the nearest few days is securing above $25,000. Next, the US will issue an inflation report for July, and the quotes will start moving again. Will this “plan” come true is a big question because the crypto never goes up fast and smoothly nowadays. On the other hand, the fact that the BTC price has secured above $23,500 gives the bulls a certain advantage. An important resistance area for the BTC is still $24,000-$24,600. If the crypto successfully rises above it, a pathway to $25,000 might open.

The capitalisation of the crypto market is about $1.02 trillion. The BTC takes up 40.5%, the ETH — 18.9%. The fear index, compared to last week, has dropped. The complexity of BTC mining grew for the first time in two previous months.
