Bitcoin’s Weekly Performance
This week, Bitcoin (BTC) closed at $7,513, marking a notable increase of 5.65% from last week’s opening price of $7,111. It wasn’t all smooth sailing, as BTC dipped to $6,430 midweek, provoking a remarkable 16% rebound by week’s end. Who knew Bitcoin had a flair for the dramatic?
Comparing Crypto Performances
While the Bitcoin roller-coaster enjoyed some exhilarating highs, Ethereum’s Ether (ETH) barely managed to keep its head above water during the same period, with an almost negligible price movement. Meanwhile, XRP took a nosedive, losing about 5% of its value. It’s like Bitcoin is tossing the others a life raft while they flounder in the crypto waves.
The Dominance Dance
Bitcoin’s dominance is creeping up to a staggering 70%. That’s a bit like being the main character in a movie where the rest of the cast can’t quite get a word in edgewise. Most of this gain came at Ethereum and XRP’s expense, with Bitcoin surging by 104% this year against Ether’s modest 2% rise and XRP losing ground by a hefty 46%. Don’t you hate it when someone steals your thunder?
Technical Indicators: Bulls vs. Bears
The weekly chart reveals a bullish hammer candlestick pattern, suggesting the bulls are warming up for a fight. With the 50 and 100-week moving averages crossed bullishly, the bulls are aiming to reclaim the key $7,600 level for a solid upward push. The On-Balance Volume indicator shows selling pressure is waning, hinting that traders might be ready to jump back into the ring!
Future Prospects: Will the Bulls Hold?
As we head into the last week of December, the stakes are high. If Bitcoin’s bulls can keep the momentum going, they could close the year with impressive gains. However, if they falter and let the bears run wild, we might witness a bearish December that spills into January. Keeping our fingers crossed here—because nobody likes a party crasher!
