Best cryptocurrencies to buy as Bitcoin price rebounds

Cryptocurrency prices have made a strong bullish recovery in the past few days. Bitcoin surged to over $20,000, which was the highest level since early this month. It has risen by more than 13% from the lowest level this month. Here are the best cryptocurrencies to buy as prices bounce back.

Ethereum

Ethereum price rose sharply this week. It managed to rise to a high of $1,556, which was the highest level since September 15. It has surged by more than 25% from the lowest point in September.

Ethereum is a good cryptocurrency to buy because of its strong correlation with Bitcoin and its strong market share in key industries. For example, it has a strong stake in Decentralized Finance (DeFi) and Non-Fungible Token (NFT).

Ethereum has another catalyst. The developers are working on the next big update known as Shanghai which is expected to go live in 2023. The upgrade will bring new functionalities in the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). It will also implement staked withdrawals.

eToro

eToro is a global social investment brokerage company which offers over 75 cryptocurrencies to invest in. It offers crypto trading commission-free and users on the platform have the option to manually invest or socially invest. eToro even has a unique CopyTrader system which allows users to automatically copy the trades of popular investors.

Chainlink

Chainlink is a leading oracle network that makes it possible for developers to bring data from off-chain and on-chain. As such, it is widely used in decentralized finance (DeFi), where it is used by leading platforms like Aave and Uniswap.

Chainlink price has also risen by double-digits in the past few days as cryptocurrencies and DeFi rebound. Like with Cosmos, Chainlink has a catalyst that could push its price higher. First, its developers are working with Swift, the giant payment network.

Second, Chainlink price will also react to the upcoming launch of Chainlink 2.0. The new upgrade will change Chainlink into a decentralized oracle network (DON). As a result, it will become possible to power decentralized smart contracts on any blockchain. It will also introduce staking.

Are Bitcoin miners about to capitulate?

Something which is always interesting is assessing the mining activity on Bitcoin, especially in conjunction with what is happening the price and the wider market.

After all, miners are the group who receive those freshly minted bitcoins as the blockchain continues to grow. Receiving this revenue in the native coin of the network means their actions can be indicative.

Something notable is happening at the moment though. The hash rate, which means the amount of computational power being spent by the Bitcoin network – i.e. the number of miners – is rising. And it’s rising a lot.

But at the same time, price is falling.

We are printing all-time high after all-time high in hash rate. The price, however, has cratered, before trading sideways over the last few months around this $20,000 level.

This is unusual. As the chart above shows, the last time we had a violent crash – May 2021 – the hash rate fell, too. This is natural – again, the revenue of these miners is Bitcoin, so why shouldn’t mining activity drop in response to a big price drop?

Instead, the hash rate – and the difficulty of the network – remains high. Most people say this is a good thing. And they’re right – the higher the hash rate, the more secure the network. And the more secure the network, the healthier Bitcoin is.

But does this make sense? Let’s look at this from an economic perspective. Are miners not selling as much as they should be? It seems as we crab sideways following this crash, miners are not letting up. You may point towards Ethereum’s switch to proof-of-stake in September as attracting more miners to Bitcoin, but the dates don’t really line up.

Let’s check if the miners are selling (graph via arcane research).

After the capitulation in the summer, they haven’t really been selling. But could this change soon?

I wrote recently about how I believe we could be one event away from a nasty red wick for Bitcoin. In looking at the underlying mining data, I get more nervous again. Again, this is far from certain – and more a hunch – but let us check the last time we had a hash rate rising with a falling price.

Mid 2018 this happened…and it wasn’t good.

Let us zoom in a little on this time period – the above chart is a bit hectic. In peering into the 2018 window, we see exactly how this same pumping price hash rate occurred despite the falling in price. And then look what happened the price in late 2018.

So that’s worrying. And there are people pointing this out as a bearish indicator. But as anyone who follows my analysis knows, I am not exactly comfortable with extrapolating past Bitcoin cycles to today.

Yes, this happened in 2018. But look at Bitcoin back then. Had you even heard of it? Because many hadn’t – it was still a niche asset, not yet making noise in the trad-fi world. Not to mention, the macro climate is entirely different today, with us squarely in a new interest rate paradigm. A point that should never be forgotten in looking at past cycles: none of those cycles happened while we were in the midst of a wider bear market in the economy.

But at the same time, it is not merely the fact this has happened before. For me, I am just a little puzzled that the selling of miners isn’t a bit higher here, or why the hash rate is mooning so aggressively.

So, in conclusion, this indicator is not causing me to run for the SELL button. But I do like using mining data in conjunction with my wider analysis, and it is a curious happening. And as I wrote last week, I do fear that this crab motion around $20,000 could end with a red wick. It’s a psychologically important level, and once we break hard below it, there is not much resistance.

There are too many variables in the wider market that could easily go south, and Bitcoin has not given up too much since the contagionary wave of the summer – stocks have actually been worse. This underlying mining activity is not quelling those concerns, even if it is not accentuating it.

Bitcoin rallies to $20,000. Here is the next potential target

Bitcoin (BTC/USD) trades at $20,660 as of press time, the highest level in 6 weeks. The cryptocurrency had added an intraday of 7%. The gains were accompanied by a 157% jump in trading volumes.

Wednesday’s gains in Bitcoin come when investors have been calling for reversals at $19,000. That was after BTC looked to have bottomed at the level. There have been bull calls, going by insights data and analysts’ thoughts.

One factor used as a bullish indicator for Bitcoin is the US dollar index or DXY. In a session with his 278,000 YouTube followers, crypto analyst Jason Pizzino says DXY shows signs of exhaustion. The fatigue comes after a rally of more than 16% this year.

Pizzino says that DXY closed below the 50%-mark last week, an indication of bullish exhaustion. The analyst has earmarked 109 (points) as the probable lower top for DXY. The level will be the first lower top for DXY for a year. How will this point to a bullish market for Bitcoin?

Investors look at DXY as a gauge of the overall market. When the index weakens, it suggests that investors are developing a risk-on sentiment. As a result, they are moving their capital from the defensive dollar to risky assets like crypto.

Bitcoin pushes above moving averages as price overcomes tight trading

On the daily chart, Bitcoin has been trading within a tight range prior to Wednesday’s breakout. The breakout has seen the cryptocurrency break above the 20-day and 50-day MA, which trapped it.

An RSI reading of 65 shows that there are more buyers for the cryptocurrency. However, we are approaching the overbought level, which could usher in a correction.

Will Bitcoin continue to go higher

The current momentum looks sustainable for Bitcoin to the next resistance at $21,500 and further at $22,500. However, it must overcome the immediate and higher-up resistance zones for a sustained surge. An improved crypto sentiment could do much to help. Nonetheless, BTC price looks attractive for dip buyers at the current valuation.

Bitcoin will hit $13k before reaching a new all-time high in three years, says Peter Brandt

Bitcoin is trading above $19k, but Peter Brandt believes it will reach $13k in the near term before setting a new all-time high three years from now.

Peter Brandt, founder and CEO of proprietary trading firm Factor LLC, told CoinDesk TV in a recent interview that he believes Bitcoin will set a new all-time high in three years.

However, before it does that, Bitcoin will trade for around $13,000 first. Bitcoin has been underperforming since the start of the year.

Since reaching the $69k all-time high in November 2021, Bitcoin has lost more than 70% of its value. It has been trading below $20k in recent weeks but has maintained its price around the $18k-$19k level. Brandt said;

“We [will] just chop between … let’s say $17,000 and $23,000,” said Brandt. “I think we will bottom here at some point in time, maybe early next year, but then I’m not looking for bitcoin really to become exciting again for another couple of years.”

Peter Brandt is a technical trader that has been around since 1970. According to his predictions, it would take Bitcoin 32 months before it reaches a new all-time high again.

There have been talks that the US Federal Reserve will halt its interest rate hiking. However, Brandt doesn’t see that happening and expects a 75-basis point increase on Nov. 2. This would be followed by another 75 bps increase on Dec. 14. He said;

“I think that the Fed knows that inflation is a killer. The Fed needs to regain its credibility. And to do that, I think the Fed really needs to bring inflation rates back down to at least 4%.”

The cryptocurrency market has been mirroring other traditional financial markets, including stocks and commodities, in recent months. However, Brandt said he believes Bitcoin’s performance will be unique in the long run. He added that;

“Bitcoin is going to be correlated with bitcoin eventually.”

The $13k bottom suggested by Brandt differs from his opinion two months ago. In August, he suggested that Bitcoin could have reached its possible bottom, with BTC trading at around $21k at the time.

Is Bitcoin undervalued below $20K? A technical outlook and what top analyst think

Someone would have been mistaken to think that Bitcoin (BTC/USD) could approach the end of the year at just $20,000. However, as the clock ticks, the reality is increasingly getting confirmed. Notwithstanding that, many analysts expected that Bitcoin would click $100,000 by the end of the year. It wasn’t bad maths, though, considering a height of $68 in November last year. So, what went wrong?

Of course, it has been a tough year for all markets – cryptocurrencies and stocks alike. Issues ranging from economic tightening, recession risks, and the Ukrainian war have been cited. Stocks are trading at significantly depressed levels, while crypto has shown a direct correlation. If it makes sense that stock markets will come back, then it is an absolute genuine expectation of crypto recovery too. The question is, when?

Perhaps, it would be premature to think that recovery will happen soon as risks remain. However, popular analyst Will Clemente says markets are staring at significant bargains on Bitcoin at $20K. Clemente relies on multiple on-chain metrics to argue the case.

According to the analyst, there is a huge institutional demand for Bitcoin at below $20,000 on Coinbase. The analyst says regulatory compliance has been attractive to institutional holdings on Coinbase. He notes clear bids on Bitcoin from the $18,500 price down to the $11,000 level. The same confluence, he says, is being observed in other venues.

Bitcoin’s daily chart turns heads for technical readers. The price formed multiple bottoms at $19,000, signalling potential bear exhaustion. An RSI reading of 50.33 suggests that buyers and sellers are square at the moment. That was amid the high inflation numbers last week that forced a flash crash in BTC. The cryptocurrency price, however, is showing a limited upside.

Is Bitcoin undervalued below $20K?

A large accumulation by institutional investors suggests they see value in BTC at the current price. Coupled with multiple bottoms at $19,000, the price could be undervalued. Potentially, Bitcoin could recover from the current level. Further declines could be minimal and long-term holders should find satisfaction in buying the $20K or $19K dip.
