Bitcoin Continues To Recover After Recent Sell-Off

Bitcoin Is Moving Higher

Bitcoin managed to settle above the resistance at $42,600 and is testing the next resistance level at $44,000. Ethereum is also moving higher. The world’s second biggest cryptocurrency is currently trying to settle above $3,100. Dogecoin is testing the resistance at $0.2255, while XRP is trying to settle above $1.00.

The recent sell-off in crypto markets was fast, but most cryptocurrencies quickly managed to gain upside momentum which is a bullish sign. Bitcoin Dominance, which measures the market capitalization of Bitcoin as a percentage of total crypto market capitalization, has also moved lower, which is typical for days when crypto markets are in a bullish mood.

It looks that crypto markets have shrugged off fears about the potential default of China’s developer Evergrande, which have put significant pressure on riskier assets earlier this week. The recent commentary from Fed Chair Jerome Powell was a bit more hawkish than expected but markets remained optimistic.

Technical Analysis

Bitcoin is currently testing the nearest resistance level at $44.000. In case this test is successful, Bitcoin will move towards the next resistance which is located at the 50 EMA at $45,300. RSI is in the moderate territory, and there is plenty of room to gain additional upside momentum in case the right catalysts emerge.
