Bitcoin reverses Tuesday gains while Solana joins Ethereum in fresh all-time highs

Published at: Nov. 3, 2021

Bitcoin (BTC) fell to 24-hour lows before Wall Street's open on Nov. 3 as a previous bull run halted at $64,000. 

BTC price inches back towards $62,000

Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView confirmed the return of uninspiring sideways price action after Tuesday's volatility.

As Cointelegraph reported, BTC/USD rose almost $4,000 before topping out, momentum then fading away to produce lows of $62,400 at the time of writing.

As ever for a post-halving Q4, analysts continued to cast aside any bearish theories.

"Market looks primed," popular Twitter account TechDev summarized.

A separate post reexamined Fibonacci levels which have determined Bitcoin price cycle tops in both the 2013 and 2017 post-halving Q4 periods.

Should BTC/USD repeat history, even the upcoming 4.236 extension at $73,500 would mark the start, not the end, of the most intense phase of gains.

"Will it mark the top, or will we top just above log 2.272 once again? I cannot say for certain of course, but I do expect the top of the 2-week RSI channel to tell us," he wrote, referencing Bitcoin's bullish relative strength index.

"But if you expect neither, and instead think BTC will suddenly top at the linear 4.236 for the first time in history, with the 2-week RSI also failing to hit the channel for the first time in history... To me that is an extremely low probability bet."

For the short term, funding rates once again creeping higher coincided with the price drawdown.

SOL replaces DOT in altcoin all-time high fest

Altcoins continued to be anything but placid Wednesday as Ether (ETH) continued to new all-time highs.

ETH/USD was joined by Solana (SOL), which launched its own comeback to see all-time highs of $235 on the day.

Polkadot (DOT), which also broke new records Tuesday, meanwhile took a breather, still trading above $50 at the time of writing.

Cointelegraph earlier reported on predictions which place ETH at up to $14,000 and DOT at $100 next.

Price analysis 11/19: BTC, ETH, BNB, SOL, ADA, XRP, DOT, DOGE, SHIB, AVAX
Bitcoin (BTC) dropped below $56,000 on Nov. 19, completing a near 20% correction from the all-time high. The Crypto Fear & Greed Index, which remained in the greed zone for most of the past two months, has plummeted into the fear category with a reading of 34. Cryptocurrency research firm Delphi Digital said in a recent report that the sell-off in Bitcoin was “largely driven by a wave of liquidations rather than a fundamental shift in narrative,” and the analysts expect the drawdown to be “relatively short-lived.” The recent correction does not seem to have shaken the long-term holders. According …

Bitcoin (BTC) and the US equity markets are facing selling on Feb. 16 as traders seem to be trimming positions in assets perceived to be risky on the accusation by NATO that Russia continues to build troops near the Ukrainian border. This is contrary to claims by Moscow that Russian troops are returning to their permanent deployments after completion of the exercise. This geopolitical uncertainty could result in increased volatility in the near term. However, the longer-term fundamentals continue to strengthen. PwC Luxembourg, in a recent report, said that 61% of 123 Luxembourg-based financial players have either started or plan …

This week Bitcoin (BTC) and select altcoins broke above their immediate resistance levels and moved higher, which propelled the total crypto market capitalization above $2 trillion on March 24. One of the triggers that could have driven crypto prices higher was BlackRock CEO Larry Fink’s letter to shareholders where he said that the Russia-Ukraine conflict has opened up avenues for digital currencies to be used as a mode of settlement for international transactions. Another bit of news that may have aided the up-move in crypto prices was that Goldman Sachs redesigned its website with emphasis on the growth of digital …

Price analysis 4/20: BTC, ETH, BNB, XRP, SOL, ADA, LUNA, AVAX, DOGE, DOT
The U.S. dollar currency index (DXY) turned down sharply after rising above 101 on April 20 but this weakness in the dollar has not helped Bitcoin (BTC), possibly because the S&P 500 is struggling to build upon its strong rally on April 19. This indicates that Bitcoin remains tightly correlated with the U.S. equity markets. Irrespective of the lackluster price action, research projects several positives for Bitcoin this year. A report by Insider Intelligence shows that the number of adult crypto users in the U.S. could surge from 28.3 million in 2021 to 33.7 million in 2022. Along with the …

Nonfarm payrolls rose by 315,000 jobs in August, down from the July increase of 526,000 jobs. The report was just below the Dow Jones estimate of 318,000 jobs and the slowest monthly gain since April 2021. The S&P 500 rose in response to the report, but later erased its gains, indicating that bears continue to sell on rallies. That may be because the U.S. dollar index (DXY), which had retreated from its Sept.1 20-year high, recovered part of its losses. The bears will have to pull the DXY lower to boost prices of stocks and the cryptocurrency markets as both …
