Bitcoin Rises While Ethereum, Dogecoin Slip — 'Market Isn't Going To Peak In The Next 6 Months,' Says Popular Analyst

The world’s largest cryptocurrency continues to dominate the market, representing 62.2% of the total crypto market capitalization, which currently stands at $3.33 trillion.

Bitcoin’s dominance increased by 0.74% over the last day, while Ethereum’s share declined to 9.3%.

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell signaled on Thursday that the central bank is reassessing its approach to inflation and employment as part of a major policy review.

The CMC Crypto Fear and Greed Index currently registers a score of 69, indicating “Greed” in the market. This represents a slight decrease from yesterday’s reading of 71 but remains elevated compared to last month’s score of 29, which signaled “Fear,” according to data from CoinMarketCap.

Analyst Notes: “Bitcoin has seen some resistance over the past week, being challenged to grow past the $104K to $105K level,” a crypto market intelligence platform, Santiment, noted on Thursday. “This temporary ‘pumping of the brakes’ has been enough to swing traders slightly bearish once again.”

Despite this short-term resistance, analyst Michaël van de Poppe believes the bull market has significant room to run. “This market isn’t going to peak in the next 6 months if we just managed to have a 4-year bear market on Altcoins coming to an end,” Martinez wrote on social platform X.

“The previous bear market was 2 years, and had 2 years of bull since. The 4-year cycle doesn’t exist anymore,” van de Poppe added.
