At the beginning of this year, Tesla announced that it would accept Bitcoin as a payment for car purchases, and the price of Bitcoin has skyrocketed as a result. In May, after Musk announced that Tesla would no longer accept Bitcoin as a payment option due to environmental concerns, the price of Bitcoin began to dive. At the beginning of July, Musk said that Tesla would resume accepting Bitcoin in the future. Last week, Amazon issued a message to recruit people in charge of digital currency and blockchain products, which aroused people's attention. Therefore, many people would think these news caused changes in the price of Bitcoin.

Trendlines act as support and resistance levels once widely recognized by traders, creating either a floor for price-action recovery or a ceiling for downward momentum to resume.
But bitcoin price fluctuations are largely affected by technical indicators rather than basic events. Bitcoin's short-term upward trend began before Amazon's job advertisement was announced, and the pace of the trend does not seem to be affected by news reports. These news will affect Bitcoin's short-term price fluctuations. In the long run, Bitcoin will not care about Amazon's recruitment information or Tesla's sentiment to cause price fluctuations.

It's much less technical indicators than macro events.  The dip was corresponding with a crack down in China, so there was a lot of bitcoin that had to find buyers fast, hence the steep sell off.  When that supply waned bitcoin recovered.  You can look at technical indicators all you want, and maybe, maybe it can explain short term fluctuations on a small scale, but the overall price movement corresponds with macro events, not technical charting.
