Market Update
Bitcoin (BTC) hovered near $59,000 as Nov. 21 came to a close after avoiding a retest of its recent lows.
BTC challenges $60,000Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView showed BTC/USD almost hitting $60,000 before consolidating in a new higher range after sudden gains Saturday evening.
The pair had hit lows of $55,650 during the week, these marking its lowest point in over a month, but further retests failed to materialize as sentiment improved.
Adopting a calmer perspective into the weekly close, analysts thus looked to the long term to understand the overall health of the market.
“Since breaking its black 200-day EMA, BTC rallied to new All Time Highs. Still over +50% above the 200 EMA, despite the recent retrace from ATHs,” Rekt Capital summarized on the day.
“Long-term investor sentiment is still bullish towards Bitcoin.”On-chain metrics supported the reasoned view, with the Crypto Fear & Greed Index in neutral territory at just below $60,000.
Network fundamentals were similarly unfazed by the week's events with the hash rate staying near all-time highs and difficulty still on track to rise modestly at the next readjustment due Nov. 27.
Fellow trader Pentoshi meanwhile identified the area between $59,000 and $61,000 as the point at which it would be prudent to reenter with spot longs should that area be successfully reclaimed.
Gave local top and bottom on $ETH
How I plan to trade it. Looking for LH from here to 4570. *IF* 4570 is flipped then happy to buy back higher
Playing for LH and a 2nd leg down to 36xx
Same with $BTC looking for 59-61. If reclaim = buy back otherwise looking for LH
If = then https://t.co/judmSGFoIu pic.twitter.com/OhyBcpH7uN
