The crypto market bides its time

Expert market comment from senior analyst Alex Kuptsikevich of the FxPro Analyst Team: The crypto market bides its time
FxPro | 1210 วันที่ผ่านมา

Market Picture

Over the past 24 hours, Bitcoin has fallen 0.25% to $23.4K. The total capitalisation of the crypto market has fallen 0.3% to $1.07 trillion. The slight decline came despite a rebound in global stock indices. The crypto market has seen minimal changes since the start of the day, indicating a wait-and-see attitude.

The short-term technical picture is bullish for Bitcoin, with the price above its 50-day average and near late January's local highs. Ethereum's uptrending 50-day twice acted as support in February. Resistance since last October remains at the 1700 level. ETHUSD is selling off from here. 

According to CoinShares, investments in cryptocurrencies decreased by $2 mln last week, the third consecutive week of declines. Investments in bitcoin fell by $12 mln and Ethereum by $0.2 mln. Investments in funds that allow shorts on bitcoin increased by $10 mln.

Over the past few weeks, Santiment has seen a slowdown in bitcoin whales’ activity. There has also been a decrease in activity among mid-sized addresses controlling between 10 and 100 BTC.

News background

Michaël van de Poppe, Eight platform founder, remains bullish, saying the bear phase is over, and Bitcoin is about to break out.

According to IntoTheBlock, 39% of Ethereum's total supply is concentrated on the balance sheets of a limited number of addresses. This starkly contrasts Bitcoin, where whales account for no more than 11% of the total.

The ongoing cryptocurrency crisis and tighter regulation have had no impact on interest in digital assets. According to Morning Consult, 20% of US adults (over 50 million people) own cryptocurrencies.

A £2 Trillion SpaceX: Extraordinary Vision… or Excessive Faith?

A £2 Trillion SpaceX: Extraordinary Vision… or Excessive Faith?

SpaceX may be worth over $2 trillion, but today's revenues hardly justify such a valuation. Investors aren't paying for the current business—they're paying for Starlink, AI, Starship and industries that don't yet exist. The real question isn't whether SpaceX is a great company, but whether reality can keep pace with expectations. At these levels, markets are pricing beliefs as much as fundamentals

Brent – Iran Says It Will Close Hormuz, So Why Is Oil Still Near $78?

Iran threatens to close the Strait of Hormuz — the route for 20% of global oil — yet Brent barely moves, trading near $78. The market already priced out the war premium last week when peace hopes emerged. But if tankers truly stop, a fifth of the world's supply vanishes, and prices can surge within hours. Is the market underestimating Iran's threat?
