Bitcoin Ends The Week Bullish Above $9000, Despite Global Markets’ Crash: The Crypto Weekly Market Update

Getting your audio player ready...

This week has been somewhat positive for the cryptocurrency community. Starting with Bitcoin’s price, which began trading at $8,600 but, since then, it has risen to the current stance of above $9,000.

Following its increase, Bitcoin is starting to escape the correlation it recently demonstrated with the traditional financial world markets.

As the coronavirus outbreak keeps expanding into new territories, the stock market struggles again. Despite recovering slightly at the start of the week, the Dow Jones Industrial Average noted a 600 points drop during today’s opening. The S&P 500 futures and Nasdaq-100 futures are following tightly with steep losses. 

Price aside, good news came this week from two Asian countries. Firstly, the Supreme Court of India lifted a 2018 RBI ban on cryptocurrency usage in the country. South Korea also made a considerable step to adopt virtual assets as they have recently been legalized.

The altcoin market has also felt Bitcoin’s increase. All the major cryptocurrencies are trading in the green throughout the past seven days. The most significant gainers appear to be Tezos, Binance Coin, and Chainlink, to name a few. All of them marked gains of over 10%.

Bitcoin’s dominance dipped by about 0.6% over the last week, meaning that altcoins start to regain some grounds. It’s interesting to see how the market will develop in the coming weeks as we are getting closer to the Bitcoin halving event.

Regarding the price of Bitcoin, breaking the $9,000 mark meant that it turned from a significant resistance to a support level. $9,300 is the next obstacle that Bitcoin has to overcome, which is also the 50-days moving average. Contrary, if BTC is to break below the psychological point of $9,000 again, the 200-day MA at $8,700 will be the most vital support.
