The past seven were somewhat successful for Bitcoin, and the total market capitalization managed to increase by some $150 million. Some altcoins are really taking off, while others are seemingly in a stalemate situation.
But let’s start with Bitcoin. The market leader failed to produce any meaningful gains but is up slightly above 2% in the past seven days. This came after an excellent weekly close on Sunday. Unfortunately, bulls didn’t capitalize on the opportunity and failed to break the critical $59K resistance level on three separate occasions on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.
A lot of this volatility had to do with broader market turmoil caused by the discovery of a new COVID variant called Omicron. Stocks are also looking shaky, and it’s likely that they will take some time before the risk-on trade can continue with full force, hence creating temporary headwinds for the crypto market as well.
Some altcoins were completely unfazed by all of the above. Solana is up 10.5% in seven days, while LUNA skyrocketed by almost 60%. However, others felt the weight of the market instability – DOT is down 9%, XRP – 7.3%, ADA – 3%, AVAX – 8.7%, and so forth.
It’s interesting to note that this was the first time when PlanB’s BTC floor model missed by a long shot. However, according to the analyst, his S2F model is still intact. We are heading into a historically bullish month for the cryptocurrency market, in general, and it’s exciting to see what December has in store.
