- Cryptocurrencies have enjoyed a massive comeback early on Sunday, recovering most losses.
- The cleanup seen ahead of the weekend may be over, and it is time to look up to higher levels.
- Here are the levels to watch according to the Confluence Detector.
After surging in the previous weekend, cryptocurrencies held up their gains throughout most of the week but then suffered a sudden sell-off late in the week. Some had suggested that a massive sale on Bitstamp, worth $250 million worth in Bitcoin led to liquidation on BitMex.
There is additional speculation related to the fall of BTC/USD from above $8,000 to below $7,000, but in any case, cryptos are staging a comeback. The top trio is back up, rising around 10%. Apart from just correcting the sharp selloff, digital coins also enjoy Facebook’s registration of a new financial tech company in Switzerland, the broadening of Coinbase’s services to over countries, and warming of some regulators to blockchain technology.
What levels should we watch?
