Bitcoin fluctuates around $30K and has crossed that line daily in one way or another over the past 12 days. A 3.5% increase in the day’s results on Thursday turned into another pullback on Friday morning.
Ethereum has strengthened by 3.5% in the past 24 hours, finding itself pegged at $2000. Other altcoins in the top 10 gained between 0.4% (Solana) and 5.5% (XRP).
Total cryptocurrency market capitalisation, according to CoinGecko, rose 3.1% overnight to $1.28 trillion. The Bitcoin Dominance Index rose 0.1% to 44.8%.
By Friday, the cryptocurrency fear and greed index is unchanged at 13 points (“extreme fear”).
Bitcoin and the entire cryptocurrency market’s protracted tug-of-war promises to resolve with a strong move in one direction. However, there is hope for both bulls and bears. The latter has a minor advantage, as we saw this area touch down from above in January and June-July 2021. But now, all the fighting is concentrated below.
