Cryptocurrency Markets

The cryptocurrency market was slightly sluggish this week compared to the hot streaks in the previous weeks.

Bitcoin prices sank into a correction phase this week. Bitcoin prices were down for six days this week, albeit the declines were all marginal.

Although the price of bitcoin has fallen below $60,000 at its lowest point this week, after hitting the low, the bitcoin spot price quickly pulled back and is back above $60,000 again.

Currently, the Bitcoin price has accounted for a stable $60,000 position in the short term, and the long and short sides are fighting for a price point that should be around $62,000.

This week, the price of $ETH and $BTC finally trended towards decoupling as DeFi continues to heat up. $ETH has also entered an all-time price peak as DeFi lockups reach new highs.

The price of $ETH has crossed the $4,500 mark this week.

From a technical standpoint, $BTC movement is relatively stable, with prices moving around the midline of the Bollinger band all week.

Looking at the momentum indicators, bitcoin is lacking momentum in both uptrend and downtrend.

On the other hand, ETH is moving at the midline level this week, with a clear upward trend from the previous two weeks.

If the trending DeFi projects continue to catalyze ETH, then the price may see increasing upside potential.
