- Cryptocurrencies have enjoyed a massive comeback early on Sunday, recovering most losses.
- The cleanup seen ahead of the weekend may be over, and it is time to look up to higher levels.
- Here are the levels to watch according to the Confluence Detector.
After surging in the previous weekend, cryptocurrencies held up their gains throughout most of the week but then suffered a sudden sell-off late in the week. Some had suggested that a massive sale on Bitstamp, worth $250 million worth in Bitcoin led to liquidation on BitMex.
There is additional speculation related to the fall of BTC/USD from above $8,000 to below $7,000, but in any case, cryptos are staging a comeback. The top trio is back up, rising around 10%. Apart from just correcting the sharp selloff, digital coins also enjoy Facebook's registration of a new financial tech company in Switzerland, the broadening of Coinbase's services to over countries, and warming of some regulators to blockchain technology.
What levels should we watch?
This is what the Crypto Confluence Detector shows in its latest update:
