Tag: Price Analysis

SOL is showing tremendous signs of recovery following the massive declines it experienced during the previous intraday session. However, the downtrend was not isolated, as other cryptocurrencies registered notable price downtrends during this period.

Apecoin started the session with a massive increase in buying volume, resulting in significant price surges. It was up by over 15%, breaking above $1.13, but retraced due to massive rejections. The dip continued until the memecoin retested the $1 barrier but rebounded and closed with losses exceeding 7%.

Another big loser during the previous intraday session was Arweave. It opened the session trading at $18.3 but faced massive correction following a failed attempt at surging. It dipped to a low of $15.2 before rebounding. It registered losses exceeding 12% amidst the slight recovery.

The global cryptocurrency market cap dropped by over 3% as bearish sentiment ravaged the industry. Tensions in the Middle East worsened trading conditions, resulting in downtrends.

Let’s see how the leading cryptocurrencies performed and are fairing at the time of writing.

BTC/USD

Bitcoin is down almost 3% on the weekly scale. It had a bad start to the week, as it registered notable losses on Monday. It opened trading at $69k but retraced after a failed attempt at retesting $70k. It dropped and lost the $68k support, hitting a low of $66,815 before rebounding. Nonetheless, it closed with losses exceeding 2%.

The decline continued on Wednesday as it dipped further, losing the $66k barrier. It continued downward until it hit the critical $65k. The bulls rallied the market as the coin fell to a level of notable demand concentration. It changed its trajectory and almost closed at its opening price. The uptrend continued into the next day as the apex coin had its biggest green of the week, gaining over 2%.

However, it lost all the accumulated gains during the previous intraday session, dropping to a low of $65,521 and losing over 2%. Currently printing a green candle, it is slightly up but has yet to register any significant improvements.

The moving average convergence divergence prints a sell signal at the time of writing, as it shows an ongoing bearish divergence. The 12-day EMA intercepted the 26-day EMA, which completed the negative convergence during the previous session.

The relative strength index shows the asset gaining momentum. However, it also hints that a contributing factor to the ongoing downtrend is that the asset was previously overbought. Currently at 57, the bull may gear up for a buyback.

ETH/USD

A closer look at the one-day chart shows Ethereum grappling with strong bearish dominance throughout the week. It started with notable losses on Monday, dropping by over with losses of almost 3%. It retraced from $2,745 and lost the $2,700 support before rebounding at $2,653.

The downtrend continued into the next day, as it registered another 2% decline. Wednesday was one of the worst days for the asset, as it registered one of the biggest price declines of the week. It briefly lost the $2,500 barrier, retracing to a low of $2,448, but rebounded and closed with losses of almost 4%.

ETH sank deeper during the previous intraday session, dipping below $2,500 again but hitting a new low. It briefly lost $2,400 and found support at $2,379. The bulls staged buybacks but failed to return prices above the opening price, resulting in a close with losses of almost 4%.

The RSI is at 46 after plunging to 41 on Friday. However, the average directional index is still declining amidst the ongoing buyback attempts. Bollinger bands show the altcoin making notable progress as it edges closer to returning above the middle band.

Nonetheless, MACD prints sell signals at the time of writing, as it shows an ongoing bearish divergence. The 12-day EMA intercepted the 26-day EMA, which completed the negative convergence a few days ago.

BNB/USD

Binance coin closed the previous week on a bullish note, registering small gains, reclaiming $600, and peaking at $607. It tried continuing the trend on Monday but faced massive rejections at $611. It retraced to a low of $591 due to the ensuing sell-offs but rebounded and closed with small losses.

The downtrend continued over the next two days, with the asset hitting its lowest on Wednesday. It lost the $580 support and continued downwards until it rebounded at $572. The bulls staged a comeback that yielded a small result. However, the altcoin ended the session with losses of almost 2%.

Friday was another bearish day for BNB, as it sank to its lowest of the week. It opened trading at $594 but retraced, breaking the $570 barrier before seeing a buyback at $565. The day ended with losses exceeding 3% amidst the buybacks.

The RSI is at 50 after plunging to 46 during the previous intraday session. The average directional index is on the rise amidst the ongoing buyback attempts. Bollinger bands show the altcoin making notable progress as it edges closer to returning above the middle band.

Nonetheless, MACD prints sell signals at the time of writing, as it shows an ongoing bearish divergence. The 12-day EMA intercepted the 26-day EMA, which completed the negative convergence a few days ago.

SOL/USD

Solana is seeing notable increases at the time of writing. The bulls resumed buybacks, and it is a contender for the top gainer in the top 10s. It started the day trading at $164 but dropped to a low of $162. Currently trading at $172, prices show it experienced a massive spike in buying pressure, resulting in an almost 5% surge.

The latest spike comes barely a day after SOL registered one of its most significant losses. It retraces after a failed attempt at $180. It peaked at $177 but faced massive corrections, resulting in a slip below the $160 support. Although it slightly recovered, the day ended with losses exceeding 7%.

The relative strength index dropped from 72 to 57 in response to the massive spike in selling pressure. The bulls are gradually building momentum as the metric is at 62 at the time of writing. However, the average directional index is still declining amidst the ongoing buyback attempts.

The moving average convergence divergence is printing buy signals as the 12-day EMA changed its downhill movement in response to the ongoing buyback.

ETH has been almost stagnant since Monday’s price action. During this period, the trend was a small hike or decline, ending with a return to its opening price.

Nonetheless, other altcoins registered notable price changes over the last five days. One such is Dogecoin. It is currently up by over 27% on the weekly scale. It has not printed any red candles since the week started and may close with this trend.

Other memecoins like BONK and FLOKI are currently bullish, printing over 10% of gains during the period under review.

The crypto market has been largely bullish, as the global market cap is up by over 5% this week. Valuations stabled around $2.35 trillion as several cryptocurrencies surged. Let’s see how some in the top 10 performed.

BTC/USD

Bitcoin is printing a red candle at the time of writing as the bulls take a break from the uptrend. Although not the first red of the week, prices may drop below $68k if it continues. Nonetheless, the slight decline did not notably impact its performance on the weekly scale. It is up by over 8%, the highest one-week gain since August.

BTC had an excellent start to the session, experiencing massive increases on Monday. It opened trading at $62,850 but experienced an enormous increase in buying pressure. It surged, crashing through the $64k and then $66k barrier. However, its bid at $67k yielded no result, as it faced strong rejections around $66,400.

It continued seeing slight uptrends over the next day as the bulls halted a decline to $65k and pushed prices closer to $68k. The next day, BTC finally broke the mark but failed to sustain the momentum. It continued upwards on Friday as it sparked hopes of a return to $70k but faced solid resistance at $69k.

The Bollinger bands provide some insight into why the latest price decline occurred. Following the price surges, the apex coin broke above the upper SMA on Tuesday. It continued slipping out of bounds, indicating that the run may end.

Other indicators, like the relative strength index, show the bulls struggling to regain control of the market. Although the metric saw slight declines in the last 48 hours, prices remained relatively stable. The same trend is present in the accumulation and distribution chart. There has been no significant difference in the pressure from buyers and sellers.

Nonetheless, the average direction index shows the bulls edging as it continue its surge.

ETH/USD

Ethereum is heading for another bullish close following the previous week’s performance. Nonetheless, this is the best week since the month started, as the altcoin is up by over 6%. A closer look at the daily chart shows that most increases happened on Monday.

The asset opened the first day of trading at $2,467 but had a spike in buying pressure, resulting in a massive price uptick. It flipped the $2,600 barrier but gradually lost momentum as it edged closer to $2,700. Facing strong rejections at $2,657, it closed slightly lower but registered gains exceeding 6%.

The next day, the uptrend continued but failed to break above the highlighted level due to solid resistance at $2,687. The bears staged a selloff at the peak, as some took profit. The apex altcoin lost the $2,600 support and hit a low of $2,536 before rebounding and closing at its opening price.

ETH has since failed to break out from $2,680 due to little volatility. Nonetheless, the relative strength index has been relatively stable due to an almost equal push from the bulls and bears. The A/D chart also suggests decent buying and selling volume.

Nonetheless, the average direction index is still on the uptrend, and the Bollinger bands show room for more surges.

BNB/USD

Binance coin is up by almost 4% on the weekly scale. Although the coin saw little volatility for most of the week, it exploded on the first day. However, it failed to continue the trend, resulting in its trading within a channel.

Monday kicked off with the asset at $572. It experienced a spike in buying volume, resulting in a significant price climb. It edged close to $600 but faced massive rejections at $592—the day ended with slight losses but a close with gains of almost 3%.

The uptrend continued on Tuesday as the bulls attempted a buyback after BNB declined to $580. The bullish actions yielded results, as the altcoin surged and retested $600. However, it gradually lost momentum, retracing and closing at its opening price.

The last few days of the week saw the range with no significant impact on price. Nonetheless, the Bollinger showed the bulls edging in terms of dominance. The asset continued trading between the upper and middle bands.

MACD is also reasonably silent as the 12-day EMA and 26-day EMA continue upwards. However, a closer look at the 12-day EMA shows a slight change in trajectory. RSI is largely stable as BNB sees mild buying and selling pressure. ADX continues downward as the coin loses momentum.

SOL/USD

Solana had one of its best performances on Monday. It started trading at $147 but experienced a significant explosion in buying volume, resulting in an uptrend. It broke above $150 and continued upwards until it faced strong rejections at $158. It ended the day with gains exceeding 6%.

SOL lost momentum the next day after a failed attempt at $160. It soon retraced, hitting a low of $150 before rebounding. The downtrend continued over the next few days as it lost over 4% in three days and hit a low of $147.

The Bollinger bands provide some insight into the reason for the latest price decline. Following the price surges, the altcoin recently broke above the upper SMA, and the ongoing decline is a response to this action.

Nonetheless, the average direction index shows the bulls edging as they continue their surge. The RSI is declining as the asset has seen more selloffs in the last 12 hours.

BTC is seeing one of its biggest losses this month. The bulls failed to push prices to the highs many anticipated as September comes to an end.

The downtrend is not peculiar to just the largest cryptocurrency. The global cryptocurrency market cap is seeing a massive decline as trading volume plummeted. Low interest in the market, coupled with significant selloffs, resulted in valuation dropping by over 3% in the last 24 hours.

Will the declines persist throughout this week?

Top Four Cryptocurrencies to Watch

BTC/USD

Bitcoin (BTC) is currently experiencing a significant price correction, marking its most substantial bearish trend in the past three weeks.  Starting the day at $65,602, Bitcoin faced strong selling pressure, preventing any upward movement. 

Moreover, this intense selling pressure led to a price drop, breaking through several support levels, including the critical $64,000 mark.  As of now, Bitcoin is trading at $63,500, reflecting a decline of over 3% within the last 24 hours.

Yesterday’s intraday trading pattern hinted at this potential downturn.  On-chain data analysis suggests that a decrease in ETF buying activity drives the current decline. This analysis also highlights a noticeable drop in funding rates, particularly in major markets like the US and Korea. This decline is further evidenced by the negative Coinbase premium and Korea premium, indicating reduced buying interest.

Despite the bearish sentiment, spot traders are displaying cautious optimism. This optimism stems from the observation that Bitcoin reserves on exchanges continue to dwindle, suggesting a holding sentiment among investors.  

Additionally, exchange flow remains negative, indicating that traders are transferring fewer assets onto trading platforms. This reduced activity might signal a belief that the current price dip presents a buying opportunity. 

However, it’s crucial to acknowledge the overbought Relative Strength Index (RSI), which traditionally foreshadows a potential sell-off. The on-chart RSI is also showing signs of weakness, declining from 65 to 55 in under 24 hours, directly correlating with the increase in selling volume. 

Additionally, this bearish trend is further confirmed by the declining Accumulation and Distribution chart, indicating the bulls’ inability to absorb the excess supply.

Given the predominantly bearish indicators, Bitcoin might experience further downward price movement. With the 23% Fibonacci retracement level already breached, buyers are anticipated to establish a defense line around the 38% Fibonacci level, situated at $62,600.  However, the possibility of deeper retracements, potentially driving the price as low as $61,000, cannot be disregarded. 

Importantly, a rebound in Bitcoin’s price remains possible if trading conditions improve. Should positive sentiment return, reclaiming the $65,000 level before the end of the week is achievable. 

UNI/USD

Uniswap recently surged to a high of $7.74 as it headed for $7.80 but halted its advances due to a massive drop in buying volume. The bears soon staged massive selloffs that saw prices retrace to a low of $7.27. Although its exchanging close to its opening price, indicators like the bollinger bands suggest the cryptocurrency will see more decline.

The asset surged above the upper band on Thursday, opening trading at $6.77 but rising to a high of $7.40. The trend continued over the next three days as uptrends continued. With the downtrend imminent, the bulls will look to keep the price above $7.30.

WIF/USD

Dogwifhat’s price continues to climb, defying bearish pressure. Opening at $2.45, it briefly dipped to $2.33 before rebounding to trade above its starting point. This resilience suggests strong bullish momentum, but the lack of significant gains leaves room for a potential bearish reversal.

Yesterday’s trading session echoed this struggle for dominance. Starting bearishly at $2.36, WIF plummeted to $2.25 before surging to $2.57, failing to break the $2.60 resistance level. This back-and-forth highlights the uncertainty in the market.

Despite trading above the Bollinger band since Tuesday’s breakout, WIF hasn’t seen the anticipated trend reversal. However, current market activity suggests this correction could begin this week. The momentum indicator supports this, showing a weakening upward trend.

Adding to the bearish signals, the relative strength index (RSI) sits at 78. This marks the fifth consecutive day above the overbought threshold of 70, signaling a much-needed correction.

All signs point towards a potential downturn within the next 24 hours. WIF may drop to the 23% Fibonacci retracement level at $2.32. Failure to hold above this support could trigger a further decline to the 38% level. Although historical price action suggests a potential halt at this point, breaching this level could send WIF plummeting below $2.

SOL/USD

Solana’s recent trading activity reveals growing selling pressure, potentially ending its impressive uptrend. While losses remain minimal, they highlight increasing bearish sentiment as traders begin to secure profits.

Mirroring this shift, the relative strength index is on a downtrend, losing almost 2 points in the previous trading session alongside the declining momentum indicator. This suggests waning strength in SOL’s upward trajectory.

Adding fuel to the bearish fire, SOL’s recent price surges, while impressive, failed to break through the upper limit of the Bollinger band. The chart reflects this struggle with multiple wicks protruding beyond the band. This often signals an impending trend reversal, but in this case, the Bollinger band has widened to accommodate the volatile price action.

Despite this, most indicators paint a bearish picture for SOL’s immediate future. Bulls will aim to defend the $154 support, a crucial level representing both the 23% Fibonacci retracement and a zone of concentrated buying pressure. However, previous price action shows a possibility of slipping below this support.

Should this occur, SOL might revisit the $150 support, a level historically proven to be vulnerable. This level’s proximity to the 38% Fibonacci retracement at $149 indicates a minor demand zone. However, traders might find more security at the $142 support, a level that has successfully repelled previous bearish attacks.

DOGE is closing the week with massive gains, having seen notable surges over the last seven days. It is among the top gainers in the top 10.

The massive gains do not end with the eighth-largest coin. During this period, the global crypto market registered significant increases. Valuations went above $2.30 trillion, peaking as high as $2.35 trillion. Some altcoins also saw huge price movements.

For example, the FTX token resumed its uptrend after several days of inactivity. The asset is up by over 55% in the last 24 hours. News of the exchange paying up its debt sparked a lot of enthusiasm, driving prices higher. However, shareholders voted to postpone the payout until further notice. Nonetheless, it is up by over 59% over the last seven days.

WIF follows closely behind, with gains exceeding 50% as the community stages massive rallies a few times this week. ENA may also end the week with gains of over 3%.

Other assets in tht top 10 also had good performances. Let’s see how they performed during this period.

XRP/USD

DOGE/USD

Dogecoin has been on the uptrend over the last three days. The latest surge started on Thursday after it rebounded at $0.10. It saw a spike in buying volume, driving prices higher. It surged to a high of $0.12 as momentum peaked. However, it lost the push and slightly retraced but closed with gains of almost 9%.

The uptrend continued the next day. It continued above $0.12 and attempted $0.13 but failed as it faced strong rejections at $0.128. The bears staged a massive selling congestion at the peak, sending prices to $0.123. Nonetheless, it closed with gains exceeding 4%.

DOGE continued retracing as it tested the $0.12 support but rebounded and resumed it surge. It finally broke $0.13. However, it faced correction after hitting this milestone. The almost 4% gain reflected on the candle gives it a semblance with a doji. The asset is printing another doji but not as long as the previous.

Nonetheless, trading actions over the last three days sent DOGE higher on the relative strength index. The metric peaked at 73 but is at 72 at the time of writing. Currently above 70, the cryptocurrency is overbought. Additionally, the altcoin is trading above the bollinger bands. It broke above the upper SMA on Thursday and has since not returned below it.

The asset is trading above its first pivot resistance amidst the bearish signals from other indicators. ADX is also rising.

TON/USD

Toncoin is up by almost 5% over the last seven days. The latest increases come after it printed a doji last week. Nonetheless, several days of significant uptrend resulted in the gains it accumulated.

The most notable started on Wednesday when the general sentiment was almost beearish. It surged after it rebounded at $5.50 the previous day. It continued upward and broke $5.80, peaking a little higher. Although it saw small corrections, it saw gains exceeding 2%. It surged higher the next day as it attempted the $6 resistance but failed due to massive rejections at $5.93.

Following the doji on Thursday, it continued on Friday breaking $6. It peaked at $6.13 and toncoin closed with gains exceeding 3% after it retraced below the highlighted mark.

Trading actions over the last 48 hours shows that the bulls are getting exhausted. The altcoin retraced to a low of $5.82 after it flipped $6. The drop happened as the  coin lost momentum and the bears staged selloff with traders taking profit. It dropped further a few hours ago, hitting a low of $5.70. Although it seeing small recovery, indicators are bearish.

One such is the Bollinger band. TON broke out from the upper band during the previous intraday session. Such action may signify the end of the uptrend and the current-day price movement may affirm this claim. Nonetheless, the average direction index is on the uptrend and RSI is still below 70.

ADA/USD

Cardano has not registered any significant price changes in the last three days. Despite the latest price performance, it is up by over 13% this week. Nonetheless, it maintained trading close to its first pivot resistance at $0.40.

The gains on the weekly scale show that the asset registered most of the assets saw significant price movement earlier in the week. This is true as it had a very good start to the session. Monday started with prices at $0.35 but retraced and rebounded off the pivot point. It surged to $0.36 and close with gains exceeding 3%.

The bulls continued the uptrend on Tuesday and ADA surged higher. It attempted $0.40 but failed due to significant rejections at $0.39. Nonetheless, the day ended with the asset trading at $0.38 and registering gains exceeding 6%.

ETH is gradually striding towards $2,700 but has failed to break this critical mark. The struggle continues as the week gradually comes to an end.

Nonetheless, the global crypto market saw a slight improvement in value. It stabled above $2.30 trillion. It also gained over 2% over the last 24 hours as some assets saw massive gains. One such is SHIB, as it gained over 23%. Dogecoin also registered significant gains, retesting $0.12.

News of the Central Bank of China cutting interest rates made the rounds in a few days. Many anticipated the announcement would result in further uptrends for the crypto market. This played out as some asset retested critical barriers.

The market is still on the uptrend, with some altcoin registering significant gains. Let’s see how some cryptocurrencies in the top 10 performed this week.

BTC/USD

Bitcoin is having one of its best performances as it climbed to level it hasn’t over the last 30 days. It is up by over 3% on the weekly scale following the small uptrends. Nonetheless, the price increases came after it rebounded at $62,500.

One of the biggest moves happened on Thursday as the apex coin started trading at $63,100 and surged as buying volume spiked. The macro economics were having a very good effect on BTC as it headed for $66k but failed due to significant rejections at $65,850.

The market celebrated the next day as the largest cryptocurrency flipped $66,000. However, it was for a brief moment as it retraced due to small selling congestion. The bulls may be exhausted as the coin is printing a doji during the current session.

Due to the most recent price action, indicators are also at a standstill. The relative strength index trends parallel, and so does MACD’s 12-day EMA. Nonetheless, trading remains with the middle and upper SMAs of the Bollinger band.

Traders are gearing up for a massive retracement, as on-chain data say the apex coin is overbought. The bulls must maintain trading above $64k or risk a further drop to $62k.

On the other hand, the asset is trading close to critical resistance., the first pivot resistance. Historicallly, this mark has been the launchpad for attempts at $70k.

ETH/USD

Ethereum performance this saw the bulls edging as it finally flipped the 2,700 resistance. It happened during the previous intraday session as it started trading at 2,632 but surged to a high of $2,729. However, the surge above this critical mark was shortlived as it retraced and closed below the mark. Nonetheless, it registered gains exceeding 2%.

Thursday’s price actions served as a stepping stone to the milestones as the coin recovered from the previous losses it had. It reclaimed $2,600 and continued upward. In the end, ETH is up by over 3% on the weekly scale.

Indicators like the average direction index and RSI are on the decline due to current price movement. The largest altcoin is printing a red candle as it dropped to $2,650. The relative strength index drop shows growing selling pressure that may continue. The ADX suggests that the uptrend may be coming to an end as there no notable from the bull.

The bulls will look to defend the pivot point at $2,622 to prevent further decline. However, this is not a tough mark, and prices may slip lower, sending ETH to $2,500. It is also worth noting that reclaiming the $2,700 barrier may guarantee a retest of $2,800.

BNB/USD

Binance coin gained almost 2% during the previous intraday session. It attempted its first pivot resistance at $620 but retraced at $614. One catalyst for the hike was the release of the former Binance CEO, CZ. CZ was released earlier than anticipated due to laws ensuring no inmates leave the prison during the weekend.

However, the market failed to respond as many anticipated for several reasons. One such reason is that CZ cannot return to his position as CEO. It was part of his plea bargain. He will also not be involved in any activities regarding the exchange.

Nonetheless, BNB had another significant push a few hours ago. It attempted $620  again but failed to break it. It is on the decline due to notable selling congestion. RSI is declining in reaction to the latest market trend.

If the downtrend continues, the asset may retrace to $580. Previous price movements suggest that prices may rebound off this mark, as they did on Thursday. The altcoin is also at risk of further decline to $560.

ADX is slightly up amidst the asset printing a red candle. While this indicator lags, it is important to bear in mind it hints at the possibility of an uptrend. BNB may break above $620.

SOL/USD

Solana registered massive gains on Thursday. It was down by over 3% on Wednesday but erased all losses the next day. It started trading at $147 and surged, breaking its 30-day high. The uptrend continued as the asset peaked at $158. Although it small decline, it closed with gains exceeding 5%.

The asset also saw a similar increase on Tuesday, opening trading at $144 and breaking $150, peaking at $152. It is also significantly up on the weekly scale, up by over 8%. However, current trading actions may indicate the end of this bullish spell.

Although not significant, the asset is printing a red candle. RSI is declining due to significant selling pressure. It is also evident that traders have reduced their trading of the coin, as trading volume has reduced by over 15%.

The bulls are currently trying to keep price stable above $155. However, it appears they are losing this bid as the Bollinger band suggests for declines. Solana broke out from the upper band more than three times this week. Such action may signify the end of the uptrend.

The bulls will look to defend the $150 support. While it is not a tough one, there is a small demand concentration around it. Failure to defend the mark will result in prices slipping lower, potentially to $142.

On the other hand, the band is expanding, which means it afford more uptrend. The next bullish round may send price above $160. The mark will also become an accumulation point for a bid at the first pivot resistance at $168.

Bitcoin surged above $58k after several days of failed attempts. Many anticipated a climb above this key level but were skeptical as the asset lost momentum.

The previous intraday session events added to the doubt, as macroeconomics showed mixed metrics. For example, the US Producer Price Index (PPI) slightly increased by 0.3% on a month-on-month basis, which is less than what market watchers expected. However, it was lower on a year-on-year basis.

Additionally, the number of unemployed grew higher than expected, coming in at 230,750 against the predicted 227,000.

Both announcements shook the US stock market, and the bitcoin had a fair share. It dropped from $58k to $55,500 before rebounding and closing at its opening price.

BTC resumed its uptrend today as traders looked beyond the previous news. Some analysts also maintained that the feds will still introduce the interest rate cut regardless of the latest readings from these key market indicators.

The apex coin has yet to gain stability above $58k as it continually trends below it. This pattern is due to selling congestion the coin is experiencing. Some traders continue shorting the asset around this critical level.

The bulls are seeing small victories but can’t sustain them. The derivatives market shows that sellers are actively funding their short positions, resulting in the ongoing inability to decisively flip the highlighted mark. Nonetheless, this sector of the crypto market is seeing notable activity, as open interest grew by over 3% in the last 24 hours.

Other on-chain indicators suggest that the drop below $58k may spur more downtrends.

Coinbase Premium is Negative

On-chain data shows that the Bitcoin is seeing a shift in investors’ behavior. They are generally becoming more bearish as the funding rates from two major regions are negative.

One such is the US. The apex coin is seeing less buying pressure from this country, as indicated by the Coinbase premium. The same trend is present in the Asian market as the Korea Premium is also negative.

Long-term holders are also moving their asset to exchanges in preparation for a possible selloff. Nonetheless, miners are moderately selling.

Exchange reserves are decreasing amidst the growing pressure on the apex coin. Additionally, netflow is negative.

While the bearish indicators are largely strong, the small bullish signals also mean that the asset will not see a massive price swing over the next few days until a change in market trends happens.

MACD Favors Bitcoin

The one-day chart remains positive, given the reading from on-chain data. The moving average continues printing buy signals as it completes its bullish convergence. The divergence is ongoing as the 12-day EMA edges above the 26-day EMA. MACD’s histogram is green for the first time in more than fourteen days.

The relative strength index also points to the notable buying pressure Bitcoin is experiencing as it moves closer to 48.

In the coming days, the largest cryptocurrency will look to gain stability above its pivot point at $58k. However, a close at the current price will give it an edge in subsequent bids above the mark. It is also worth noting that PP may serve as a critical support once a decisive flip happens.

Based on MACD, BTC may continue upwards. It will look to reclaim the 200-day exponential moving average at $59,300, which was tough resistance. The bulls will build on this level and retest the much-anticipated $60k mark.

Nonetheless, the apex coin is at risk of further decline. It may retrace as low as the 50% Fibonacci retracement at $56,700. Previous price movement also suggests a possible drop to $55k if the bulls failed to defend the 50% fib.

It is important to keep an eye on price action in the next 24 hours as it’ll determine if price will surge or drop.

Many expected XRP’s price movement to be lower since the company settled its court case with the SEC. On-chain data points to a massive trading volume as the reason for the low performance.

The global cryptocurrency market cap has been in a steady downtrend since the start of the week. Charts show valuations struggling to remain above $2 trillion following the ongoing low volatility with major assets.

At the time of this writing, the crypto market is losing investors. The over 45% drop in 24-hour trading volume clearly indicates this. Nonetheless, traders are banking on an uptrend as derivatives see more long positions.

Fundamentals failed to move the market despite the presence of many. However, a court recently dismissed the case against Elon Musk, alleging he manipulates Dogecoin.

With the week winding, let’s see how some assets performed.

XRP/USD

XRP gained over 6% last week as it flipped $0.62 but halted its advances close to $0.64. It had one of its sharpest stretches on Saturday but retraced and ended the day close to its opening price.

News of some bank planning to adopt the cryptocurrency fueled a run that lasted two weeks. However, the fundamentals’ effects are fading and the asset is struggling as the rest of the market. Nonetheless, the altcoin had a significant dip a few days ago.

However, the effects are wearing off as it is down by over 4% in the six days. The latest valuation is in contrast to the 22% increase it had last week.

TRX started the current seven-day period with notable declines. Monday saw the altcoin drop to a low of $0.16 following a failed attempt at $0.17. Nonetheless, it extended its peak in the last three years by a few fractions.

The decline continued on Tuesday with bigger losses. It halted its attempt at recovery and retraced, breaking the $0.16 support. The cryptocurrency has since traded within a horizontal channel as trials to breakout failed.

TRX bounced off the 23% Fibonacci retracement level. It remains to be seen how long the mark will hold.

ETH is recovering from Tuesday’s dump that saw it retrace to one of its lowest prices in the last seven days. However, reclaiming the lost level is slower than many anticipated.

The Tuesday dip affected all cryptocurrencies, and they struggled to keep prices afloat. The question on the lips of most bulls was, “Who is selling?” Questions went unanswered as speculations took the center stage.

Let’s how some assets in the top 10 are trading

BTC/USD

Bitcoin started the week bearish as it registered notable losses on Monday. It started trading at $64,200 but dropped and tested $62k with no success. The support flipped the next and the apex coin hovered around until a massive selloff happened.

BTC broke $60k in the late hours of Tuesday as selling congestions ravaged the market. It dropped to a low of $58,000 before the rebound. It saw a slight recovery and closed the day a little above the low, with losses exceeding 5%.

The bulls have since tried to resume last week’s uptrend but failed. Nonetheless, they had limited success a few hours ago. The apex coin made a quick return to $61k, peaking at $61,182. However, it lost momentum and exchanging close to its opening price.

Indicators are flipping earish in response to the ongoing trend. The moving average convergence divergence is printing sell signals. The 12-day EMA is in contact with the 26-day EMA as traders expect a cross and divergence in the coming days.

RSI is stable in reaction to trading actions in the last 48 hours, indicating an almost buying and selling volume. Nonetheless, since losing $60k, price movement points to the importance of the $58k support. A slip below this mark will send BTC as low as $56k.

ETH/USD

Ethereum kicked off the day at $2,528 and enjoyed a notable increase in demand, sending prices close to $2,600. However, it is trading at its opening price as the altcoin lost momentum.

The latest price trend is different from what transpired during the previous intraday session. It started trading at $2,457 but retraced and rebounded above the $2,400 support. It soon surged and broke $2,500, closing with gains of almost 3%.

Ethereum was one of the worst-hit coins by Tuesday’s downtrend, losing over 8%. Due to several failed attempts at recovery, it is trading at critical support. ETH is trading close to the 78% Fibonacci retracement level, which is considered the last support before the 100% level. The bulls must keep the price above $2,500.

MACD presents a worrying signal for the bulls. The 12-day EMA is trending close to the 26-day EMA in an ongoing bullish convergence. Nonetheless, both EMAs are almost on the same trajectory, indicating that ETH’s current price is fragile and may shoot up or down.

The Relative Strength Index suggests that the bulls are gradually restoring confidence in the asset after Tuesday’s decline. It rose from 35 to 40 as buying pressure gradually increased. Nonetheless, the metric is trending on a straight line in reaction to the latest price actions.

BNB/USD

Binance coin is trading above the 200-day exponential moving average. Since losing the 50 and 100-day EMAs, the assets have traded without any notable improvement.

BNB lost these key levels on Tuesday when it halted its surge to $560 and retraced. The asset dipped to a low of $521 following a wave of corrections that swept through the crypto market. It lost almost 2% in response.

However, this was not the biggest loss of the week. It kicked off the seven-day session with huge losses, dropping from $574 on Monday to a low of $547. Due to the decline, it lost almost 5% and is struggling to recover and resume last week’s uptrend.

The asset registered a doji over the last 48 hours as the bulls and bears continued the struggle for dominance. The RSI is parallel in response to the coi seeing an equal push and pull from both factions of the market.

Nonetheless, BNB is trading at a critical level. The 200-day EMA is servings support, highlighting $520 as a key point. It also lies close to the 38% Fib level, indicating that a small slip below these two levels will send the altcoin deeper.

It remains to be seen if a breakout to te top will happen amidst the ongoing bearish divergence on the MACD.

SOL/USD

Solana has been on the decline over the last five days. It ended the last day of the previous week with small declines that deepened since the new week started.

Tuesday was a nightmare for many traders as they lost a huge chunk of their wallets. The altcoin opened trading at $157 and was en route to $160 but halted due to massive selling congestion. While many traders faulted an anonymous seller for selling, others pointed to FTX as the culprit.

SOL dropped from $159 to a low $145. The bulls struggled to recover after the decline but have since failed as it closed with losses of almost 7%. It slowed its descent the next day but retraced to a low of $140 but rebounded.

Solana is currently trading at $139 as selling resumes. While many fault sellers for the ongoing decline, it is worth noting that on-chain analysis points to a gradual decrease in memecoins in the ecosystem. Developers are leaving to launch their tokens on other platforms as the memecoin craze is gradually fading.

The effect of such reduction is less demand for the native coin SOL for trading or liquidity or trading, resulting in the ongoing downtrend as holders are also dunping.

The relative strength index has been on the decline since Sunday, dropping from 58 to 41, indicating ongoing bearish actions.

All eyes are on the moving average convergence divergence as the 12-day EMA intercepted the 26-day EMA. The ongoing divergence is indicative of the possible continue of the current bearish trend.
