Cryptocurrency market capitalisation fell 0.7% over the past 24 hours to $1.21 trillion, remaining near its peak since late April. The Cryptocurrency Fear and Greed Index retreated from 64 to 61 by early Wednesday afternoon, staying in “greed” territory.
Bitcoin has pulled back from the top of its recent trading range above $31.3K and is trading back near $30.8K. An upside breakout has not been confirmed, and the logical development is a pullback to the lower end of the range at $29.8K. Only a sustained exit outside the $29.8-31.3K corridor will signal the end of the consolidation and further movement towards the breakout.
Ethereum is also undergoing a local correction, but its stronger momentum is bullish for Bitcoin. ETHUSD broke through local resistance on Monday and completed a corrective pullback. The local retreat brought the price back to the former resistance in place since late April.
