Bitcoin continues to frustrate traders who have been predicting a breakout on either side, but investors should keep a close watch because the longer the time spent inside the range, the stronger the eventual breakout from it.
The July jobs report released on Aug. 4 was a mixed bag. Hence, it could not shake Bitcoin (BTC) from its range. The report showed the addition of 187,000 jobs, fewer than the 200,000 expected by economists. But average hourly wages remained strong, showing an increase of 0.4% for the month against expectations of a 0.3% rise.
