Following the recent turmoil, digital assets have finally stabilized, and volatility has dropped significantly. Market capitalization has rebounded strongly from its weekly low around $2.83T and has already returned to the $2.87T mark.
However, despite this rebound, it is still too early to celebrate. It cannot yet be said that buyers have fully taken the initiative, as the $2.90T threshold remains a significant hurdle. If the price fails to break through it, there is a risk of a short-term correction. The situation is further complicated by the strengthening of the U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) and general nervousness in the U.S. stock markets.
However, cryptocurrency traditionally leads the way, reflecting global risk appetite. If the current rally takes hold, a revival in the crypto space could signal an upturn in traditional financial markets as well.
Bitcoin Has Bottomed Out: There’s a Chance It Could Rise Back Above $87,000
The leading cryptocurrency has passed its stress test with flying colors. The dip to $82,500 earlier this week was quickly recovered, and prices returned to their usual consolidation range around $84,000.
What this means:
- First, the indicators have cooled off. After a strong rally, the asset needed a pause to relieve the overheating on the daily charts and test support.
- Second, a target range has emerged. If the current momentum persists, we’ll have an excellent foundation for breaking multi-month highs, with a target around $87,000 and higher.
