A Bearish Sentiment Still Remains; Today A Big Day For ALL! | Daily News 3/6/22

Once again, we saw Bitcoin decline back down to its recently familiar price levels of around $30K after being pushed up to almost $32,500 at the start of the week. The move back down to these price levels simply confirms to us the similar correlation BTC has to traditional markets as both the S&P 500 and NASDAQ dropped about 2.5% respectively. Due to this correlation though, Bitcoin investors fear 😰 that the potential decline in the stock market could lead Bitcoin to the lower levels of $28K. Below, is a graph that indicates Bitcoin’s correlation with traditional assets like the Nasdaq, S&P, and gold.

As we can see here, BTC has a positive correlation to the traditional markets. Using the key on the left, the closer the stock is to 1, the stronger the positive correlation. Conversely, the closer to -1, the stronger the negative correlation.

Also, we do have a very important report released later today, the NFP which will have an effect on the U.S. dollar which in turn can affect Bitcoin’s price. Read our article on how the NFP report can affect the markets here for more information. The projected goal we ideally want to see BTC get to, to confirm our price reversal is $33,500; which is above the 50 day moving average that will indicate the 💪 of the bulls!

Ethereum (ETH) has thus far failed to break and maintain that psychological price level of $2000 and still continues on the downward trend 📉 that it has been following for about 3 weeks. This seems to confirm the bias that we will most likely see a retest of the price of $1700! Just as with Bitcoin, the focus by investors right now is on the traditional markets and due to this, any bullish sentiment and hope left is slowly dwindling for ETH to decouple to the upside.

We can see here the downwards channel the ETH price is following and the support floor.

As for the other altcoins, they are all mostly in the green but have not risen by anything too exciting; although Cardano (ADA) and Polkadot (DOT) have outperformed the market by over 4% in the last 24 hours.

Two other altcoins we recommend keeping 👀 on, especially if Bitcoin does hit back towards its highs are Polygon (MATIC) and Stellar (XLM), both showing great upside potential if we get that rally many have been waiting for!
