So, something that we can observe from the chart above is that despite the slight correction we have seen over the past 24 hours in the overall crypto market cap, it is still holding on about the trillion dollar mark. This will serve as a critical point of support for the overall market. Also, it is still holding on above the 50-day moving average too – so the immediate short term trend hasn’t turned around either.

Along with that, this minor correction allows the Relative Strength Index to cool down and retreat back to a comfortable position to lend out support to the market when the rally resumes. Thus, there is nothing to worry as of now in the market and such small corrections are part and parcel of a bullish price action.

Coming to Bitcoin’s price action today – it can be considered to be pretty strong. This is due to the fact that Bitcoin has lost much less than what the overall crypto market has lost. While the global crypto market cap has shed over 3.8%, Bitcoin has only lost around 2%. Thanks to this difference, Bitcoin has managed to gain more of the market cap dominance – rising from 40.3% yesterday to around 42.7% today.

This indicates that Bitcoin is able to better hold on to its gains as compared to the rest of the crypto market. Also, as of writing this, the flagship crypto token has managed to sustain above the 50-day moving average and hence there is no cause for concern for Bitcoin investors just yet.

CRYPTO MARKET: THE WEEK AHEAD

In conclusion – a day in the red like this isn’t something that should frighten investors. In fact, small correction are usual and even considered to be healthy amid a recovery. A bull run with no intermediate corrections to absorb the momentum can have devastating results whereas a slow and steady recovery like this tends to last longer. The biggest crucial point is that the crypto market cap is still above the trillion dollar mark which exudes some positivity that is still there in the market and there’s nothing much to worry. This can also be taken advantage by means of dollar cost averaging in case investors have a bit of cash lying around.
