Market Capitalization Recovery
The cryptocurrency market capitalization bounced back enthusiastically from the elusive $200 billion support level, bringing some positive vibes with it. Following a dip on October 23, we’ve observed a broad pullback, with Bitcoin (BTC) and numerous altcoins performing admirably. This clear enthusiasm among buyers indicates a renewed interest in the crypto world.
Selling Exhaustion Signals
Many major cryptocurrencies exhibit signs that the bears are growing weary. When buyers confidently step in instead of panicking during key breakdowns, it signals a shift in market sentiment. Recently, crypto hedge fund founder Joel Birch suggested viewing drops below the $8,000 mark as buying opportunities. Sounds like a sale at a dollar store!
Bakkt Futures: A New Dawn?
Initially, Bakkt’s futures launch didn’t set the world on fire, but the platform is unrelenting, rolling out features for institutional traders. On October 24, Bakkt announced new regulated options contracts for Bitcoin futures starting December 9. This could trigger a wave of institutional investment, like when even your grandma starts trading stocks after she saw the neighbor’s dog make a killing on GameStop.
Chart Analyses of Major Cryptocurrencies
BTC/USD
The bulls showed up, preventing the bears from fully capitalizing on the October 23 breakdown at $7,702.87, sparking buyer interest. The surge past the previous support-turned-resistance has led to aggressive buying, propelling BTC upward. A rise above the 50-day SMA could mean a shot at the $10,000 mark, making dips to $8,200 potentially alluring targets for buyers.
ETH/USD
Ether (ETH) has navigated through shaky waters, initially dipping below $161.056 but failing to breach the September 24 low at $151.829. This reaffirms that the lower levels are like attractor beams for buyers instead of creating widespread panic. Eyes are on the downtrend line, where crossing could see ETH rally to about $196.483.
XRP/USD
XRP seems to be in its own world, with buyers snapping up the dip to $0.24715 on October 23. If buyers can shatter the resistance zone of $0.29227 to $0.30368, a jump to $0.34229 could be in the cards.
