boss

Bitcoin price nearly hit $13,000 today after an almost $1,000 intraday candle tapped the remaining bear market resistance keeping new all-time highs at bay a little while longer.

Bitcoin Likely to Break Below $11,000 Before Next Uptrend: Analyst

boss

Bitcoin has been caught within a prolonged consolidation phase throughout the past few days and weeks, with buyers and sellers both being unable to take control of its near-term trend. This has done little to offer investors with insight into where it may trend next, and its close correlation to the U.S. stock market makes it likely that it will continue lacking a trend until either the election is finished or a second round of stimulus is passed through. This could be incredibly bearish for altcoins, as they have been…

Bitcoin’s Correlation to S&P 500 is “Concerningly High”

boss

Bitcoin has been moving in close tandem with the stock market throughout the past few days and weeks, which has slowed its growth and caused it to see some turbulence. The stock market is currently in a consolidation trend as investors await progress on a second round of federal stimulus. It remains unclear as to whether or not this will come about before the election next month, but until it does, it is highly unlikely that the stock market will see any intense upwards momentum.

“Be Scared” Going To Bed Without Spot Bitcoin Exposure

boss

However, one crypto trader says that they’d be more “scared” going to sleep at night without holding spot BTC at this point, than not.
