Daily market update: Bitcoin dips with stock market but still holding strong over $13k

Yesterday saw another blip in the markets, with lockdown announcements in Germany and France apparently spooking the markets. While bitcoin saw a corresponding blip, it appears that it was more temporary and quickly recovered. Bitcoin in general has seen a strong 2020 so far and has heavily outperformed both gold and the S&P 500.

Bitcoin volume

The volume traded yesterday was $35,867,318,895 – up from $33,749,878,156 the day before. That’s the highest daily trading volume since 21 October. High volume indicates that a significant price movement has stronger support and is more likely to be sustained.

Market capitalisation

Bitcoin’s market capitalisation as of yesterday was $245,899,824,465, down from $252,985,946,390 the day before.

Fear and Greed Index

Despite yesterday’s dip, sentiment is still shining bright green at 67 – down from 70 the day before. Extreme fear can indicate that investors are getting too worried, and when investors are getting too greedy that means the market may be due for a correction.

Global In/Out of the money

For any address with a balance of tokens, ITB identifies the average price (cost) at which those tokens were purchased and compares it with the current price. If the current price is higher than average cost, address is ‘In the Money’. If the current price is lower than the average cost, the address is ‘Out of the Money’.
