Bitcoin, Ethereum prices drop by 5.71% and 2.54% - WIC News

 

The cryptocurrency market has started Q4 in a robust fashion with the market capitalization set to break back above $2 trillion. The recent market sell-off into the $1.75 - $1.8 trillion zone has now turned higher with market capitalization now eyeing recent lower highs at $2.08 trillion and $2.24 trillion. A crack and close above $2.08 trillion will break the recent series of lower highs and add to the current positive sentiment in the market.

The macro outlook for the cryptocurrency is beginning to look more positive with both the Federal Reserve (FED) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) taking a more constructive stance towards parts of the cryptocurrency market. This week SEC chair Gary Gensler said that a Bitcoin ETF, based on CME futures, would have ‘significant consumer protection’ and that he was looking forward to SEC staff reviews of the current ETF filings.

Bitcoin (BTC/USD) Rallies on Positive ETF Commentary from SEC Chair Gensler

At a meeting of the US House financial Services Committee, Fed chair Jerome Powell was asked if he intended to ban or limit the use of cryptocurrencies, to which he replied that he had no intention of banning them. Chair Powell did say that it would be appropriate if stablecoins were regulated, comparing them to money market funds and bank deposits.

The recent FED and SEC commentary has turned market sentiment positive, despite the ongoing backdrop of an increased China crackdown on all things crypto and with potential SEC market regulation in the wings. It seems that any bad news is being used as an opportunity to enter the market with downturns reversing quickly. Market sentiment can be fickle and turn quickly, but as we stand price action suggests higher the market will move higher as Q4 starts in a positive fashion.

Bitcoin continues to build on Thursday’s gains and has opened above a short-term downtrend line off the September 18 swing high at $48.8k. For a longer-term move higher, Bitcoin will need to take out all three simple moving averages and this mid-September high. This would open the way to the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level at $50.5k and the September 7 high at $52.9k.

Ethereum (ETH/USD) is also moving higher and is printing a near two-week high around $3,185. To confirm a turnaround, ETH will need to break and open above the September 16 lower high at $3,675. The CCI indicator has moved out of the oversold territory and still has a lot of room left before ETH becomes overbought.

    • Sainsburys full year earnings and Unilever’s first quarter trading update both say the same thing, UK consumers are in for higher prices. The war in Ukraine, supply chain issues and the effects of ongoing Covid all to blame.      
    • US Dollar (DXY) Daily Price and Analysis US Q1 GDP may stall the greenback’s advance. A 20-year high nears for the US dollar. The multi-month US dollar rally continues with the greenback printing a fresh high today ahead of the first look at US Q1 GDP at 12.30 GMT. The US dollar basket (DXY) has been boosted by renewed weakness in the Euro and the Japanese Yen, as investors move from lower-yielding to higher-yielding currencies, while safe-haven flows continue to benefit the greenback. The US growth release later in the session is expected to show a sharp slowdown from the robust Q4 figure of 6.9%. The markets are currently pricing in growth of just 1% for the first three months of this year, with the slowdown mainly due to a reduction in inventory accrual over the quarter. This release is unlikely to move the greenback, unless there is a large miss or beat, as the Fed believe that 2022 US growth will be robust enough to let them tighten monetary policy sharply without damaging the economy. The latest US Core PCE data – the Fed’s preferred inflation reading – is released on Friday and this may have more effect on the US dollar than today’s GDP data. For all market moving economic data and events, see the DailyFX Calendar. The ongoing US dollar rally has been aided by weakness across a range of G7 currencies including the Euro, the Japanese Yen, and the British Pound. The Euro continues to battle with lowly growth expectations, exacerbated by energy concerns, the British Pound is mired by weak economic data, while the Japanese Yen is in freefall as the BoJ continues with its ultra-loose monetary policy.   The US dollar continues to press higher and looks set to break above 103.96, the March 2020 high. Above here the US dollar would be back at levels last seen nearly two decades ago. The March resistance will likely hold in the short-term, especially with month-end portfolio rebalancing at the end of the week, but US dollar strength is set to continue in the months ahead.
