Cryptocurrencies Price Prediction: Bitcoin, Polygon and Polkadot – European Wrap 18 October

Bitcoin price action at inflection point as rally encounters first real hurdle

Bitcoin (BTC) price action is enjoying October’s mild weather, like many households. The feared spike in gas consumption seems to have been delayed for a few weeks leading to some relief amongst both investors and the general population. Additionally, gas prices plunged on Monday, falling back to their lowest levels since June, at the same time releasing some cash that could be invested into cryptocurrencies. Lead crypto Bitcoin along with several other assets also sees its price action at the cusp of breaking above a key technical bearish element.
