Traders shift their focus to XRP, UNI, QNT and EGLD whereas Bitcoin continues to consolidate around the $20,000 level.
It has been tough for Bitcoin and the cryptocurrency markets to start out a powerful sustained recovery while the united states dollar is close to its multi-year high and therefore the U.S. equities markets are close to their June lows. This shows that the sentiment remains negative and traders are not interested in taking on risk in their portfolios.
The U.S. equities markets fell sharply on October. 7 following the release of September’s nonfarm payroll data, however they did manage marginal gains for the week. The S&P 500 rose 1.5% and the Nasdaq Composite climbed 0.7% last week. Meanwhile, Bitcoin is on track to finish the week with marginal gains of about 2%.
In the past few days, Bitcoin has managed to avoid a collapse even once the U.S. equities markets were being clobbered. this is often the primary indication that the selling pressure is also reducing and traders might not be willing to give up their holdings at lower levels.
However, for a sustained recovery, Bitcoin can want some support from the come back of the risk-on sentiment. Until then, volatile range-bound action is likely to continue, with sure altcoins providing commercialism opportunities.
