Cryptocurrency Market
The price of the crypto coin has generally been bumpy this week due to the rumor that the U.S. government may strengthen supervision of the cryptocurrency market.
The BTC spot price of 47,236.99 USD drops to 43,018.00 USD, and the ETH spot price of 3328.6 USD drops to 2978.21 USD. From the perspective of technical indicators, the BTC spot price deviated from the 20 days moving average again. The price moved to the lower track of the Bollinger Band, and fell below the lower track of the Bollinger Band on the 21st, then rebounded again to the midline.
The ETH spot price trend is consistent with BTC, although much more volatile. Before September 10th, the overall technical strength of ETH spot was higher than BTC, but after several flash drops, the rebound of ETH price was significantly weaker than BTC’s.
Currently, although the spot price of ETH is still moving towards the midline of the 20 days Bollinger Bands, the momentum is significantly weaker than that of BTC.
Since September 7, the MACD indicator of BTC has been showing a bearish state, and the DIF line has continued to move below the DEA. At the same time, the momentum indicators ROC and WILLR indicators both show that the current price trend of BTC and ETH is in a low momentum state, and the market has not shown obvious upward momentum.
In addition, momentum indicators and price movements have remained basically unchanged, and no sign of market reversal has been seen yet.
