Therefore, we have a good opportunity to initiate positions, especially given the bullish reversal in the market.
Cryptocurrency News Highlights
Here are some of the notable happenings in the crypto news space:
US inflation at 40-year high
The United States recorded annualized consumer price inflation below 9% in September 2022 for the third consecutive month. The rate was below the market forecast of 8.1%, but still above the February low.
For the second time in three months, core CPI rose 0.6% month-on-month. The consumer price index (CPI) rose 0.4% month-on-month and 8.2% year-on-year.
Moreover, the annual rate remained well above the 2% target set by the US Federal Reserve, suggesting that policymakers will maintain their hawkish rhetoric and rapidly raise interest rates.
In September, the US CPI was 296.808, down from 296.171 in August and above market expectations of 296.43.
Although the US dollar initially rallied in response to the better-than-expected US inflation report, it weakened against most other major currencies on Thursday as investors believed the market’s initial reaction to the data was overdone.
The focus will continue to be on preliminary US consumer sentiment and retail sales data, which will be released later today. They could contribute to increased volatility and price movements in the cryptocurrency market.
bitcoin price
The current bitcoin price is $19,804.53 and the 24-hour trading volume is $48.62 billion. Bitcoin is up 3.73% in the past 24 hours. CoinMarketCap currently ranks number one with a live market cap of $379 billion.
From a technical standpoint, the triple bottom pattern has extended key support at $18,250. Bitcoin has seen a massive reversal since the US Dollar took a bearish turn, led by triple bottom support and a weaker Dollar.
On the 4-hour timeframe, Bitcoin broke through the 50-day moving average at $19,450, suggesting the possibility of a continuation of the uptrend. Oscillator indicators like RSI and MACD are also in buy territory, suggesting a bullish trend.
Still, bitcoin looks set to break above the $20,450 level. A bullish break above $20,450 could propel bitcoin price to $21,240.
Ether price
The current price of Ethereum is $1,331.35, with a 24-hour trading volume of $19.24 billion. In the last 24 hours, Ethereum has increased by 3.40%. CoinMarketCap currently ranks Ethereum second with a live market cap of $163.47 billion. There is a circulating supply of 122,785,631 ETH coins and no maximum supply.
From a technical standpoint, Ethereum faces significant resistance at $1,340, which is extended by a downtrend line. On the other hand, the other technical indicators point to an uptrend.
For example, the ETH/USD pair broke above the 50-day moving average, which now serves as support at $1,315. The RSI and MACD both indicate an uptrend and the recent bullish engulfing candle could reinforce that.
All that remains is to wait for ETH to break above $1,340 and then target the resistance levels of $1,400 or $1,445.
