The Crypto Market: Mixed Trading and Potential Catalysts
In Monday’s trade, the crypto tokens were trading flat with some experiencing marginal gains while others saw cuts. Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, Tron, and Litecoin were among those with marginal gains, while Dogecoin, Shiba Inu, and Solana saw cuts.
Bitcoin and Ethereum
- Bitcoin (BTC) rose by 0.06% to reach $26,124, while Ethereum (ETH) was above the $1,650 level.
- Bitcoin’s trading price has remained above the $26,000 threshold, but fell from trading above $29,000 due to various catalysts such as the Grayscale v/s US SEC case, SpaceX’s Bitcoin reserves write-down, and China’s Evergrande group filing for bankruptcy.
Market Cap and Bitcoin Dominance
- The global cryptocurrency market cap remained flat at around $1.06 trillion, rising 0.03% in the last 24 hours.
- Bitcoin’s market cap stood at approximately $508 billion with a trading volume of around $9 billion, rising 12.42% in the last 24 hours.
- Bitcoin’s dominance currently sits at 48.01%, a decrease of 0.12% over the day.
Technical Analysis and Trader Sentiment
According to Sathvik Vishwanath, Co-Founder & CEO of Unocoin, Bitcoin’s technical parameters indicate a bearish sentiment with “Three Black Crows” patterns, oversold RSI and MACD, and a significant decline. Immediate resistance is at $26,200, while a break above $26,200 may target $26,800 and above. Conversely, a drop below $25,200 could lead to losses around $24,800.
Analysts anticipate a further decline toward the critical $20,000 mark, indicating a risk-averse approach in the short term.
