tcoin’s performance points to a weak risk appetite
Bitcoin rose 2.9% in the past 24 hours to $20.9K. Ethereum added 5.5% to $1140, while the top 10 altcoins growth ranged from 1.1% (Doge) to 11.5% (XRP).
Total crypto market capitalisation, according to CoinMarketCap, rose 3.1% to $929bn over 24 hours. Bitcoin’s dominance index lost 0.2 points to 42.9%. The cryptocurrency fear and greed index remained at 11 points (“extreme fear”) for the third day.
Bitcoin rebounded from the previous day’s decline on Thursday amid rising US stock indices. The first cryptocurrency has not yet managed to advance above $21K. Markets must guess whether we see crypto market weakness compared to equities or whether BTC works as a leading indicator, indicating that the rebound in equities is false.
