Bitcoin Continues to Trade at Premium on Bitfinex After Tether Crash

2018-10-16 16:34

Bitcoin is trading at a 4-5% premium on Bitfinex after the USD-pegged stable coin USD Tether (USDT) crashed. USD made a move down to a low of 0.85 but has since retraced to 0.955, decreasing the premium seen on Bitfinex.

Bitcoin is trading around $6450 on Coinbase. After a sharp increase yesterday, today’s candle is forming a doji. A doji is a candle with little or no body showing some indecision in the market. The price action is back trading within the triangle which has been forming since January. With a sharp move down after occurring last Thursday and a large increase yesterday, Bitcoin is back to a neutral outlook after failing to follow up on either of these breakouts. The volume has reduced back down, and the RSI is trading around 50 showing equal pressure from buyers and sellers.

The arrows on the below daily chart represent the lows being formed. A close above the higher low which was formed before the drop which occurred on Thursday would change the market structure to a more bullish form.
