Cryptocurrency Markets
This week, the cryptocurrency market showed a trend of oscillation before rising, with the bitcoin price hovering around the $60,000 mark. On the 26th and 27th, the bitcoin price fell below the $60,000 mark for two consecutive days. Then on the 28th, the bitcoin price was back above $60,000.
After this adjustment, bitcoin price is once again back in the middle of the Bollinger band, having stabilized on the 20-day SMA for once.
Looking at the bitcoin chart, the bitcoin price has ended the current round of surging trend in two cycles and entered a shocking upward trend. The bitcoin ROC indicator fell significantly after the 21st, once again confirming that the upward price impact of this round is starting to weaken. On the 26th, the MACD indicator showed a dead cross pattern, and the current round of trend increment process can be temporarily drawn to a close.
As for other tokens, Ether continues to maintain a similar price movement trajectory as bitcoin. The decline in Ether is significantly weaker than bitcoin, although the price increase is higher than bitcoin. Looking at the MACD indicator, Ether has not formed a dead cross structure and is still in the holding phase, and Ether prices still have room to rise.
This week, the two most talked-about tokens were undoubtedly SHIBA and Dogecoin, with the former up by up to 60% in a single day and the latter also seeing gradual upward movement.
Currently, the price of dogecoin has risen by more than 20% in a single day, with the price surpassing $0.294.
