As major cryptocurrencies flatline within weekly ranges, with Bitcoin (BTC) last just below $65,000 and Ethereum (ETH) last changing hands just above $3,500, both flat in the past 24 hours, traders are hunting for the best crypto to buy now for quick gains.
Bitcoin found strong resistance at its 50DMA in the mid-$66,000s on Thursday.
That suggest the bears are in control right now and risks are tilted towards a retest of $60,000.

Ethereum might be a better bet. ETH has been holding nicely above its 50DMA in the $3,400s ahead of US spot Ethereum ETF launches in July.

ETHEREUM SURVIVES THE SEC.
Today we’re happy to announce a major win for Ethereum developers, technology providers, and industry participants: the Enforcement Division of the SEC has notified us that it is closing its investigation into Ethereum 2.0.
This means that the SEC…
