Top 3 Price Prediction Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple: Bitcoin gets ready for the trip to the moon

  • Global markets are waiting for the new triggers, Gold is still on the rise
  • Cryptocurrencies resumed the upside after a short period of consolidation.
  • ETH/BTC continues the retreat from the recent high.

The European stock markets are dominated by bearish sentiments, while the US Futures stay flat as investors are waiting for the jobs data and the news on the latest American stimulus package. Gold continues exploring the area above $2,000, while the US Dollar index stays close to the lowest level in two years.
 
The markets are on the edge, ready to act if the situation with the virus turns to the worse. However, investors are still fixated on the earning results and lay hopes on stimulus packages.

There are some risks of the market relying too heavily on positive news around the fiscal stimulus and an earnings season that still wasn’t that great, even if many companies did beat. There’s a case for markets, in the U.S. particularly, taking a pause from here on out rather than continuing this rally, given how strong it has been, Kerry Craig, global market strategist at JPMorgan Asset Management, commented as cited by Bloomberg
