The cryptocurrency markets are likely to end Friday on a high note, as BTC aims for new peaks. Analysts have long discussed that a continuation of the upward trend could occur with daily closes above $57,000. Many analysts were optimistic about this prospect, and so far, these hopes appear to be materializing.
Bitcoin Price Rises
While U.S. markets continue the day with gains, the rise is not significant. The S&P 500 is up by 1%, while Bitcoin (BTC) $91,430 has increased by 4%. The recent surge that has pleased altcoin investors may create more overall demand for cryptocurrencies. Although DXY continues to lose ground, it remains above 101. The dollar index must close below 100.5 to return to double-digit levels.
If sentiment remains positive before the Fed meetings, we could see upward trials. However, based on the position density in futures trading, we have previously witnessed significant liquidations triggered in both directions during Fed weeks. Therefore, investors should be prepared for surprises.
Cryptocurrency Insights
A BTC price exceeding $57,800 could open doors for recovering altcoins that have reached lows due to overselling. Historical data suggests that BTC prices often consolidate at higher levels over a period of 10-23 days. The upward direction seen in assets like AVAX, SHIB, and DOGE, all showing gains of over 5%, is promising for the broader crypto market.
Total volume in cryptocurrency exchanges remains low for the past 24 hours. With a volume of $58 billion, there is a 16% decrease compared to yesterday. Given that low volume often leads to unsuccessful attempts at rallies, it serves as a reminder that optimism should be tempered.
