BTC Market Review 04.12.2021The first cryptocurrency again spent most of Friday in a narrow range of 56150-57600. After the publication of mixed data on the US labor market, the cue ball made an attempt to grow, but immediately encountered a wave of sales, and the bears quickly returned the price to its previous levels. Then the fall continued and demand was absorbed near the key mark of 53500, and then 52700. In the morning, the cue ball fell below 50,000 and a panic spill began. The minimum is set at 42,000. Almost all altos have lost about a quarter of their value in one day. The next support is in the 40,000-40900 range. Now quotes are around 47600.
Market capitalization: $ 2092 billion
Dominance Index: 41.5%
Fear / Greed Index: 24
American stock indices closed in the red on Friday. The Dow Jones fell 0.17%, the S&P 500 fell 0.84%, the NASDAQ Composite fell 1.92%. The price of WTI oil is now $ 66.16. Gold quotes have grown slightly and now give $ 1,783 per troy ounce. The dollar index is equal to 96.15.
The number of new jobs in the US industrial sector in November increased by only 210k, instead of the expected 550k. This is a very significant discrepancy. The hourly wage indicator also fell short of the forecast. However, the unemployment rate turned out to be better than forecasted - 4.2% instead of 4.5%. Immediately after the release of this data, the dollar index fell sharply, and the cue ball jumped to 57600, but then everything turned in the opposite direction. Market participants believed that this data is not so bad as to influence the plans of the head of the Federal Reserve to reduce stimulus at a faster pace than previously thought.
Despite the fact that prior to the appearance of the first substantiated forecasts on the degree of influence of the new strain of the coronavirus Omicron on the global economy in general and the pace of stimulation curtailment in the United States in particular, all technically significant support levels up to 40,900 have been broken.
My tanks are full of BTC because I redeem such straits as El Salvador does, which today bought another 150 BTC at a rate of $ 48670. (Not a financial advice)
Forecast for today: Judging by the development of the situation at the moment, the minimum has already been set and we will not go lower in the near future. Panic is a poorly predictable thing, since it is based not on logic, but on emotions. It is impossible to exclude further attempts to approach the key support zone of 40,000-40900 at the moment. The lows were quickly bought off as prices became very attractive. It is likely that the entire panic impulse will be bought out and the price will return above 50,000 in the near future.
