Crypto market calm
|Market picture
Cryptocurrency market capitalisation has changed little over the past 24 hours, falling 0.1% to $2.03 trillion. The sentiment index remains in the ‘Fear’ territory despite rising 1 point to 32 on Friday.
Bitcoin has found a balance between buyers and sellers, remaining at $58K. The most active buyers seem to have temporarily switched to gold and equities. The daily chart shows a series of higher intraday highs, indicating a bullish advantage.
Tron continues to be under pressure and has returned to $0.15. The recent rebound fits into a technical Fibonacci retracement pattern to 61.8% of the initial decline. A break of $0.1455 could accelerate the decline, making $0.1320 a bearish target.
