- Ethereum consolidates the 10% market share, looking forward to breaching the 10.25% level.
- The sentiment level shoots up again and clearly shows the two-way moment in the crypto market.
- Ripple is refusing to join the bullish party and remains anchored at the $0.20 level.
At the beginning of the day, the crypto market is awaiting the resolution of two critical technical events for the development of prices in the short and medium-term.
First, the Bitcoin dominance chart shows how it has found support at the 65.5% market share level and is rebounding upwards. Technical indicators do not confirm the support level and would need a significant rise in the dominance level to set up for a trend change.
Secondly, the other side of the coin shows the dominance chart of Ethereum, stranded at the 10% market share level and only 0.25% away from entering a scenario where Ether would have the possibility to improve its weight significantly in the cryptocurrency market.
The market participants "feel" the value of the current moment. If yesterday the confidence level plummeted by more than 10%, today it rises by a similar magnitude and reaches the 54th level of the indicator.
