- Top 3 coins still set to move lower as they build support areas looking to the future.
- Ripple could surprise on the upside and make up for lost ground in the recent upward movement.
- Ethereum now has to digest its outstanding performance during the year.
The process of consolidation continues in the crypto market. Bitcoin and Ethereum needed to pause and build price congestion zones that would allow them to move towards never-before-seen levels in the future without the danger of the party ending badly due to a lack of baseline levels.
The Ripple is unaware of this process as, despite doubling the price from its lows, it has not moved out of range and does not need to move back to build a price congestion zone from which to project upwards.
Bitcoin is close to taking control of the market and regaining market share. Once it has reached the bottom of the bearish channel that has governed the movement since July 2019, it is time to move upwards, with a primary objective in the SMA200 being to move slightly below 65% market share.
Market sentiment also needed new impetus after moving from overly optimistic levels for weeks. The sell-off led to a rapid correction in the sentiment level, and now it is fear, the predominant feeling that has widespread. The current 41 level is not in line with the upward trend underlying the crypto market, a positive factor in the medium term.
