Temporary relief for bears in crypto
|Market picture
The crypto market capitalisation rose 1.2% in 24 hours to $1,043. The market's fall to almost $1 trillion at the beginning of the week satisfied the sellers. The question is whether the recent dip will be the starting point for the next rally. Keep an eye on the activity near the recent highs; for now, the market is not allowed to go higher.
For bitcoin, the death cross has not yet led to an intensified sell-off. The accumulated oversold condition that has exhausted the sellers is having an impact. Despite the potential for a rebound, BTCUSD remains within the bearish momentum that has been in place since July, with lower and lower highs and lows.
Ethereum, which formed a death cross at the beginning of September, remains in a downtrend, although its intensity is decreasing.
