Analyst K Shen pointed out from a technical analysis: BTC has fallen all the way since it hit a high of 12,500 US dollars in the previous period, and the lowest fell to around 11,380 US dollars on the 30-day moving average. The position of the neckline of the big double bottom, this area has not been effectively broken, and it is quickly recovered after touching. The role of trend support is strong. The overall trend is a healthy trend of breaking through and stepping back, and the callback volume in the past few days can be significantly reduced. Short The momentum of downward killing has decayed. It is unlikely that this position will continue to fall, and the probability of stopping the decline and stabilizing is high. As long as the weekly line does not break the support of 11,400 US dollars, the reversal of the bullish trend cannot be judged.

In addition, the market generally believes that the popularity of DeFi is the cause of this round of market rise. Ethereum’s move lifted the entire market and even pushed Bitcoin higher.

Although DeFi is still spreading and overseas communities are still hot, many new projects in the current DeFi market have embarked on the wrong path of previous ICOs: there is no substantial innovation, and new projects are created by copying and pasting open source codes of popular projects to attract users. . Under the temptation of extremely high yields, many users have forgotten the high risks behind DeFi projects. Once contract security risks, platform risks, etc. appear, it will cause a great blow to market confidence.

As the DeFi fever continues to ferment, whether the upward momentum can continue remains to be seen. To this. The Cointelegraph analysis article stated that it remains to be seen whether Ethereum 2.0, the profit-taking of altcoins, and the growth of DeFi can push the price of Ethereum to a higher resistance zone. For now, the sentiment around altcoins remains generally positive in the medium term.
