Bitcoin · 2026-07-30
That day's view: On July 30, BTC closed at $64,780 (+1.24%), forming a V-shaped rebound after dipping to an intraday low of $63,603 (prior L) before a strong recovery, with a session high of $65,176 (prior H). Spot volume of 17,132 BTC rose 2.1% from July 29 (16,780 BTC), a moderate increase in participation. Open Interest climbed 2.15% in tandem with price, indicating mild position-building by major players. The funding rate edged deeper to +0.00869% (vs. +0.00825% on July 29, +0.4bps), still in a moderately bullish territory. The taker buy/sell ratio of 1.119 confirms buy-side dominance, with retail following but not in a frenzy. The composite reading is a (c-mix) healthy rebound: moderate volume expansion + synchronized major-player accumulation + funding rate not showing squeeze characteristics. Key levels: resistance at $65,176 (prior H) / support at $63,603 (prior L) plus the psychological round number at $64,500; the FGI stayed at 28 (Fear), with fear sentiment persisting. Macro focus shifts to next week's Jackson Hole symposium.
