Cryptocurrency Market
This week, the price of crypto markets went down slightly. On the 26th, the price of BTC closed at $46,845, fell by $2,114.2, a drop of 4.32%. The price of ETH closed at $3,058.84, fell by $134.79, a drop of 4.17%. On the 27th, the market continued to weaken again following the trend the day before. As of press time, the price of BTC has dropped by 2.36%, and the price of ETH has dropped by 2.23%. The prices of other mainstream currencies also declined to varying degrees.From the daily line, the price of BTC has reached a V-shaped bottom, with the bottom price of $46,762.33 on the 19th. The price drop of BTC this time did not break through the bottom point, indicating that the selling forces are not strong. On the 27th, the spot price of BTC went back and forth on the 20-day moving average, while both the long and the short traders have fought anxiously in this price range. The 20-day moving average is a key boundary on which the market will go in the near future. During this week, all technical indicators of Bitcoin showed a stable state at the daily level, and there was no obvious buy or sell sign.
Although the crypto coin market fell slightly on the 26th, the overall market volatility was not stimulated. Since May, the price of ETH has always shown the high synchronicity of changes in the spot price of ETC. On the 26th, the price of ETH had broken the 20-day average but failed to bounce back on the 27th. The price of ETH is very likely to demarcate BTC, but if the price of BTC rebounds, the price of ETH may rebound more strongly than BTC.
