Rebellious crypto market

Market picture

The cryptocurrency market has become rather rebellious. Neither Trump’s sudden announcement of the creation of a crypto reserve, nor his rather unexpected signing of it on Thursday, before a scheduled meeting with crypto bosses on Friday, could unequivocally spur the market. The crypto market is 8% above levels from 7 days ago but is selling off powerfully on upside attempts. As a result, the previous support level near $3.14 trillion is acting as resistance.

The news of the last week is helping to create support on the dips in Bitcoin, which climbed to $90k on Friday. BTCUSD remains sandwiched between the 50 and 200-day moving averages. The long MA plays the role of rising support, while we see the short one as a signal line. The ability to consolidate above $96K early next week will signal the end of the correction. But we caution that increased volatility on the news and low liquidity over the weekend could fool traders.
