Bitcoin Miners Done Selling? 5 Things to Know for BTC Price This Week
Bitcoin (BTC) begins a new week in uncertain times after regaining $9,000, but where is BTC/USD headed in the coming days?
Cointelegraph Markets highlights five factors driving Bitcoin price action for the week ahead.
Stocks' optimism returns with $9,000
Following a major slide on Friday, stocks' futures were gaining early on Monday, despite ongoing pressure from COVID-19 concerns.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average, S&P 500 and Nasdaq futures all rose modestly, cementing a quiet weekend that saw Bitcoin outperform in terms of volatility.
BTC/USD, which has shown a tendency to copy stock market movements in recent weeks, briefly lost $9,000 support on Sunday before regaining the level.
The move had in fact been long coming — most of last week saw $9,000 testing in a slow grind down away from five figures.
Further weakness in the S&P 500, with which Bitcoin has been 95% correlated in recent months, could be particularly damaging in the short term, trader Tone Vays warned on Thursday.
Nevertheless, some traders were optimistic. Cointelegraph Markets analyst Michael van de Poppe noted that even at recent lows of around $8,900, Bitcoin was still up 140% since March.
