The crypto king, bitcoin, is holding strong around $10,900 after it started uptrending over the weekend.
From $10,200 on Sunday, the digital asset has been making its move up, climbing to $10,950 today. At the current price of just above $10,900, 83.68% of the addresses holding BTC, which are 26.38 million, are in profits.
Trader SalsaTekila noted that “yesterday night gold pumped from this exact hour, BTC then followed.”
The precious metal jumped to $1,970 level, keeping to its range, which is getting smaller, formed after hitting the new all-time high at $2,070 in early August. Meanwhile, the USD index is struggling around the 93 level.
“At a certain point when Bitcoin gets big enough (I'd say above $1T), it will shed its risk-on factor, then its fundamental gold-like properties moves front and center,” noted on-chain analyst Willy Woo on bitcoin’s short-term correlation with the equity market.
And then, “even our 4-year cycles will get locked into the gravitational pull of the ~10 year cycles that macro markets exhibit,” he said.
For now, besides the altcoins and DeFi’s losses supporting flow into bitcoin, MicroStrategy's acquisition of 16,796 additional bitcoins helped the digital asset maintain its resilience.
