Bitcoin’s previous longest streak above $10,000 lasted 62 days from 1 Dec, 2017, through 31 Jan, 2018, when bitcoin reached its all-time high of just above $19,900. Bullish?

Bitcoin price

We closed yesterday, 27 September, 2020, at a price of $10,774.43 – with a daily high of $10,804.73 and a low of $10,643.46.

That’s the highest closing price since 20 September, when it was 10,938.27. On the 27 September, 2019, one bitcoin would have cost you $8,251.85.

We’re 46.47% below bitcoin‘s all-time high of $20,089 (17 December 2017).

Bitcoin volume

The volume traded yesterday was $18,016,880,214 – down from $18,105,012,128 the day before. That’s the lowest daily volume since 29 August.

Market capitalisation

Bitcoin’s market capitalisation as of yesterday was $199,347,495,686, up from $198,967,310,682 the day before. To put that into context, Jeff Bezos is now worth $175 billion. This means he can only afford to buy 87.79% of all bitcoin. Not today, Jeff. Better sell a few more books, mate.

Fear and Greed Index

Sentiment is back down at 43, down from 47 yesterday. We’ve now spent just 1 day outside the Fear zone since the massive drop out of Extreme Greed on 4 September.

Extreme fear can be a sign that investors are too worried, which could be a buying opportunity. 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’.
