BTC futures prices also rose following the positive move of the cryptocurrency. Daily bar charts show a fledgling price downtrend taking place at the moment. On the other hand, bulls lost their technical advantage making it clear that the current movement of price least resistance may lower.
BTC Prices Roll Over
Many market participants consider a positive BTC performance as a sign of an ending crypto winter. However, experts warn investors that the market can undergo a bearish bounce while the BTC price keeps rolling over.
We should still take into account the FED and the actions it is going to take in reference to inflation rates. It is still one of the most powerful factors that shape current markets. So, when making investment decisions across different assets, it is crucial to consider the Federal Reserve’s actions.
Altcoin Lost Recovery Potential
For some time, the altcoin market was in the green territory. This fact lets traders open positions in their preferred low-cap coins.
However, only 6 out of 200 top tokens were traded higher. SingularityNET (AGIX) showed one of the most significant performances featuring a 28.78% increase.
The overall crypto market cap currently stands at $1+ trillion, featuring a BTC domination rate of 41.6%.
May the trading luck be with you!
