Indicator does not reveal direct rise for altcoins; increased volatility for XRP
As the week begins, analysts are anticipating some volatility. The uncertainty in the news cycle, especially regarding the recent announcement by the US President, is adding to the market volatility. Channel host Blockchain Backer presented his latest analysis and looked at the Bitcoin price chart and the broader altcoin market, offering insight into the current scenario.
Analysts and even blockchain supporters He explained that Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are at levels where sellers are typically selling rather than buying, which is increasing market tension. According to him, Bitcoin is currently at a crucial 702 Fibonacci retracement level, a point often discussed as a decisive level where markets either break out or break out. The current situation requires close monitoring for any catalysts that could push the market beyond these retracement levels or cause a pullback.
Meanwhile, the altcoin market has shown major activity, with the Russell 2000 hitting its 786 retracement level last week before stalling midweek. This pattern mirrors what we’ve seen with Ethereum and XRP.
According to the analyst, a key factor to watch is the Russell 2000, which has not yet entered an expansion – a critical indicator of the potential growth of the cryptocurrency market. For XRP, it is returning from last week’s decline to the 786 Fibonacci retracement level, signaling possible continued volatility. Bitcoin is also back to its retracement levels in the current range. Historically, such scenarios do not lead to a direct rise; instead, more volatility is usually observed.
The debate continues as to whether the Russell needs to reach escape velocity for a major shift in the cryptocurrency market. So far, this has not been observed. Market volatility is evident this morning, with the Russell and Dow plunging into negative territory while the NASDAQ is climbing. In conclusion, the next 24 hours are critical for the market and the broader geopolitical landscape.
