This week’s market recap
This week, the global cryptocurrency market experienced mixed sentiments as it entered a consolidation phase. The overall market cap dropped slightly from $1.66 trillion to $1.65 trillion. While some assets performed well, others succumbed to bearish pressure.
Bitcoin SV crosses $100
Bitcoin SV (BSV) was one of the standout performers this week. Although its early price movements were not entirely encouraging, with a 2.05% drop after a 4% increase, BSV quickly recovered. It appreciated by an impressive 73.32% from Dec. 27 to Dec. 28, eventually reclaiming the $100 level for the first time since April 2022.
Currently, BSV has dipped below $100 but maintains its upward momentum, with a 101% increase this month and a 90.8% increase this week. The token’s RSI has surged to 84.40, indicating bullish momentum and overbought conditions.
BCH hits 5-month high
Bitcoin Cash (BCH) has been leveraging the market-wide uptrend at a slower pace compared to other cryptocurrencies. While it hasn’t surpassed its figures from July, BCH recently reached a high of $287 on Dec. 30 before facing resistance.
From a technical standpoint, BCH is in favorable territory with bullish momentum indicated by its MACD indicator. The crypto asset currently trades at $266, up 18% this week. However, its Commodity Channel Index (CCI) has surged to 171, suggesting that the price may be overbought and due for a correction.
FTT holds above $3
The FTX Token (FTT) began the week on a bearish note but has since made a comeback. Despite being down 8% over the past week, FTT is holding above the $3 price level and defending the support.
If FTT manages to break the $3.6 level, its next crucial resistance sits at $3.995, bringing it back to November highs. The token’s CCI currently indicates oversold conditions. FTT trades above the 200-day EMA but slightly below the 50-day A, suggesting mixed sentiments with a bullish long-term prospect and bearish short-term outlook.
