Crypto market

Bitcoin
made another attempt to break above $17.0K on Friday morning but has so far
been unable to overcome this strong resistance level, moving around $16.7K. The
entire crypto market rose by $4bn to $834bn – a minor swing tempered by the
moderately negative Nasdaq Index and a stronger dollar over the day.
The
cryptocurrency fear and greed index rose 3 points to 23 by Friday and remains
in a state of “extreme fear”. Lower market volatility drives the
index up even if prices are not rising.
At
the same time, retail investors should be active. Under the smooth surface of a
calm market, capital will likely continue to flow out, if not out of
crypto-assets altogether, then out of crypto-related companies, drying up their
liquidity. And one should be prepared for someone else to go broke shortly.
