    Cryptocurrency Market

    The crypto coin market has seen a bullish week, greatly stimulated by the approval of the BTC futures ETF in the US listing. Bitcoin prices have reached over $66,000, setting a new all-time high. At the same time, the market's greed index also reached a climax this week.

    From the 17th to the 20th, the Bitcoin price made 4 consecutive positive moves on a daily level and has seen a steady increase in price rather than a spike. There was no significant change in the level of bitcoin spot price volatility and the price indicates a positive outlook.

    On the technical aspect, the BTC is moving close to the 20-day Bollinger upper-band and the price is showing steady volatility. Two key indicators in the MACD indicator are pulling in distance but not forming a dead cross, which indicates that there are no obvious selling points in the market.

    For now, the bitcoin spot price remains in a stable upward channel. However, similar to last week, the cryptocurrency market continues to be dominated by a few mainstream coins, with other smaller coins not gaining enough traction for a clear bull run.

    Interestingly, tokens of CeFi Exchanges swept away the gloom of the previous weeks and came out with an above-average uptrend.
