The caution in this case is due to the non-trading days in the US and UK, which greatly reduce the activity of institutional traders. The $69.5K and $68.5K levels attract our increased attention. Without significant support from buyers there, the correction could become more global.

The Dencun update to the Ethereum network is the foundation for global blockchain adoption, which could benefit TradFi companies in the crypto space, according to Metis.
