Top 3 Price Prediction Bitcoin, Ether, Ripple: Market consolidates prices while crushing traders' emotions
|- Top 3 prices remain in range and contradict indicators pointing south.
- Mild "fear" sentiment is inconsistent with prices in the upper range of the upward movement.
- XRP may be the surprise of the week and bounce upwards for technical reasons.
The beginning of the week shows us a cryptography table in the same conditions as last Friday.
Red and green are continually alternating, punishing the emotional systems of the traders a little more.
The market sentiment scores 46 today and indicates that fear dominates among the participants.
This level of sentiment is surprising when almost all significant cryptographic assets move several multiples above the 2019 lows.
The extreme volatility of cryptographic assets and their devastating past collapses are still alive in the collective memory.
Today's whale alerts show significant movements in BTC ($4.9M), Ether ($21M) and EOS ($3.5M). All the asset movements are from wallet to wallet, so they seem to be preventive movements in the face of a possible need to move funds quickly.
