The oversold market just recovering
Although there have been some strong long-term positives building up in a lot of projects, this run-up is more on the back of technical groups. Nearly all top coins including BTC, ETH, and XRP had seen some sharp correction, forcing many currencies to hit their yearly lows. The downfall was triggered by the news of SEC’s Vaneck Solidx bitcoin ETF deferment. But the snowballing effect was so huge that it just took off all the sheen for top coins. Many experts and analysts started discussing further sharp cuts and sentimental nosedives. But with this sustained buying that has been going since past two days has kept hopes alive making BTC pretty much range bound between USD 6000 and USD 8000.
Some strong comments too floated on the street showing some positivity.
CoinCorner’s co-founder, Danny Scott says:
“For the last few months, the price of Bitcoin has been at $6,000 which we believe will continue for a while but we predict the price will reach $15,000 by the end of the year. We take this view because the retail market is continuing to expand at a very healthy rate based on both our own data and industry trends.
“To add to this, we are also seeing huge amounts of investment coming through from High Net Worth individuals and institutes purchasing Bitcoin in high volumes. This all adds to the increase and interest of the cryptocurrency.”
Apart from the frontliners, From July and August, the price of most tokens including Ontology, VeChain, and ICON have fallen by nearly 80 percent against Bitcoin, which also fell by more than 40 percent on its own. In the past three days, the trend has reversed completely for Ethereum-based tokens. Nano, Ontology, VeChain, Aion, Nebulas, Pundi X, and Waltonchain recorded 20 to 50 percent increase against Bitcoin in a short period of time.
Given that investors have started to put money into ERC20 tokens almost equal to the top 3 cryptocurrencies shows a sense of confidence being built up in investing community as investors have started to take more risks in pursuing high-risk trades, which is a trend that is only seen in a large reversal or prior to a solid mid-term rally.
Whatever may be the reason a green screen is always a happy sign for investors and looks like its going to stay.
Will this rally sustain or will it fizzle out? Do let us know your views on the same.
