The bullish momentum within the cryptocurrency market that began in 2023 continued within the second quarter of the yr. Ethereum is among the foremost beneficiaries, because it recovered the $2,000 degree.
Ethereum’s value virtually doubled from the 2022 lows. Then, again within the final days of 2022, Ethereum traded at $1,200, a degree that proved to supply sturdy assist. Nobody hoped for such a speedy rise, however in buying and selling, particularly in crypto buying and selling, issues can flip round shortly.
Now that Ethereum trades above the $2,000 degree, the massive query is – what occurs subsequent? The shut above $2,000 is critical from a bullish momentum perspective. Nevertheless, if not sustained by additional good points, we would see a pullback within the quick to medium time period.
Why did cryptocurrencies rally?
It has to do with the weaker US greenback efficiency over the identical interval. Positive sufficient, the greenback topped a bit earlier, in October of final yr, whereas the cryptocurrencies continued declining and bottomed a few months later.
However they did meet up with the greenback’s transfer. As a comparability, again in October 2022, the EUR/USD traded effectively beneath parity, round 0.96. Nevertheless, it closed the yr manner larger, round 1.06.
Within the meantime, the EUR/USD rally pale, but it surely was the cryptocurrency market’s flip to rally. Due to this fact, one may say that the 2 are linked, and the important thing to the rally was the weak US greenback.
Yesterday, Fed’s Bullard stated that it favors extra fee hikes. If that’s the case, the greenback may strengthen within the quick and medium time period, that means a decrease EUR/USD. Following the identical logic as above, cryptocurrencies may surrender a few of their 2023 good points.
Due to this fact, Ethereum might surrender the $2,000 degree. If that’s the case, patrons are anticipated within the $1,600 space.
