Crypto market tests range ceiling
Crypto market tests range ceiling
Market picture
Market capitalisation rose 1.7% in the last 24 hours to $2.98 trillion, approaching the upper end of the consolidation range where the market has been hovering for almost two weeks. The previous consolidation in April took about the same amount of time before the last move up. Rest after the rise may favour further growth.
Greed characterised market sentiment on Tuesday, with the corresponding index rising to 67, repeating the highs of May 2.
Bitcoin rose significantly on reports of events in India and Pakistan, briefly surpassing the $97.5K level. This growth momentum has not yet found support in other assets - gold is getting cheaper, and the equity index is mostly down. Perhaps the assault on local highs will continue soon. A consolidation above $98K may trigger a growth scenario up to $112K.
