This is just my theory on what's going on. Instead of fighting their way up, btc whales are fighting for support and reversing MACD 1h trend. Instead of buying at increasingly high price, i think whales are also taking advantage of eth ramping actions. To go through resistance, it might take some time, and the battle might get rough at next MACD switch.
I predict resistance might fall between UTC 29 Jun 1:30 and 4:00
