Bitcoin fails to consolidate above $110K
|Market picture
The crypto market has lost 1.6% of its capitalisation over the past 24 hours to $3.39 trillion. Technically, this is a retreat from previous highs, which provided resistance. The sell-off was triggered by pressure on risky assets due to renewed tensions in the Middle East. However, this should be seen as a temporary setback.
Bitcoin fell below $108K, once again encountering a sell-off after touching $110K. This downward move caused a broad group of altcoins to give back some of their recent gains. Nevertheless, the sell-off appears to be limited and technical for now. The dollar's proximity to multi-year lows reinforces the bullish sentiment for the near term
