The $BTC and $ETH market
This week the cryptocurrency market is up by roughly $120 billion as $BTC spiked from $45K to an intraday high of $48,086.84, as price rose to its three-month high. After that, $BTC retraced slightly but still remained in a range between $44K and $46K. As of now, BTC has retraced slightly and stands close to $47,000. Nevertheless, its market capitalization has neared the $900 billion mark. The Crypto Fear & Greed Index has now reached 60 – shows greed as $BTC breaking above the $45,000 resistance level.
At the time of writing, $BTC is trading at $46,117.89 with $47K as its next major resistance level and $43K as its next key support level.
$ETH wise, the second largest cryptocurrency also surged to an intraday high of $3,470.19 which is its highest level since January. If the bulls can break above $3,500 resistance, the next destination will likely be in the resistance zone at $3,900 – $4,000. Otherwise, if the bears push the price down, the zone of support at $3,000 – $3,200 is the first major support. At the time of writing, $ETH is trading at $3,498.26 with $3,500 as its next major resistance level and $3K as its next key support level.
Mainstream adoption
The largest derivatives trading platforms CME Group officially announced last Tuesday (29/3) that it has launched micro-options on Bitcoin and Ethereum futures. “The launch of these micro-sized options builds on the significant growth and liquidity we have seen in our Micro Bitcoin and Micro Ether futures. These contracts will offer a wide range of market participants – from institutions to sophisticated, active, individual traders – greater flexibility and precision to manga their exposure to the top two cryptocurrencies by market capitalisation”, said Tim McCourt, Global Head of Equity and FX Products.
WisdomTree (NASDAQ: WETF) announced last Wednesday (30/3) that it launched three new crypto ETPs tracking the performance of Solana (SOL), Cardano (ADA) and Polkadot (DOT). “We want to provide investors with a range of crypto asset exposures, whether that be through diversified baskets or single trackers. A key component to our approach is launching strategies which will resonate with institutional investors. These need to be crypto assets which are liquid enough for institutional use, are supported by the ETP market participants and have clear use cases”, said Jason Guthrie, Head of Digital Assets, Europe, WisdomTree.
