NINE DAYS TO GO!

Bitcoin lacked support to sustain $28,000 in the early hours, backtracking slightly before nudging $28,200 this morning.

The market leader is still up on the day and week, while Ethereum is also trading strongly at $1,760.

The Federal Reserve is scheduled to announce the latest interest rate decision tomorrow, which has further given investors time for pause, note analysts, with many expecting a 0.25% rate hike.

Bitcoin’s market dominance

Bitcoin’s market dominance today is 47.73. Its lowest ever recorded dominance was 37.09 on January 1 2018.

Relative Strength Index (RSI)

The daily RSI is currently 68.85. Values of 70 or above indicate that an asset is becoming overbought and may be primed for a trend reversal or experience a correction in price – an RSI reading of 30 or below indicates an oversold or undervalued condition. 

Soundbite of the day

Bitcoin has experienced one of the best performing weeks of price action in history, closing up 35.8% on the week. Only 124-trading days in history have seen a larger 7-day upside rally, with just 16-days occurring from 2015 onwards.”

I am old enough to remember when the Credit Suisse CEO said #Bitcoin is a bubble. Bitcoin was $7,000 then. Bitcoin is now $28,000. Meanwhile, Credit Suisse is getting acquired by a competitor and being bailed out by central banks. pic.twitter.com/BYdVdfaOS3
