Latest developments and technical analysis:
1. Overall market performance
Bitcoin (BTC) saw an increase of ~3.5% to levels of $116,000–$117,000 after Jerome Powell's speech, the Chairman of the Federal Reserve, at the Jackson Hole summit, which hinted at the possibility of a rate cut soon, boosting optimism towards risky assets such as cryptocurrencies.
Ethereum (ETH) recorded a strong increase of about 12–14% to above $4,800, its highest level since November 2021.
Other cryptocurrencies like XRP (+6.1%), Solana (+8.4%), and Dogecoin (+9.4%) also saw gains.
2. Reasons for the current rise
Powell's speech included hints of accommodative monetary policy, raising expectations for interest rate cuts, thus supporting demand for high-risk assets like cryptocurrencies.
The Fear & Greed Index remains at a level of 46 (neutral state) with the potential for increased momentum if optimism improves.
3. Obstacles and tensions in the market
Despite the gains, the market remains somewhat fragile: Bitcoin is still struggling to stay above the $115,000 level, and there are pressures from outflows from ETFs, where Bitcoin experienced net outflows over the past three days, as did Ethereum, showing some tensions regarding institutional interest.
4. State of technical optimism and indicators
Some analysts, like Ned Davis Research, see the market still in a bullish phase and that the absence of a 'blow-off top' may indicate the potential for continued upward momentum.
On the other hand, the situation still requires caution due to market volatility and investor behavior.
