“The weekly jobless claims report provided hints that the labor market is starting to weaken,” said Edward Moya, a Senior Market Analyst with OANDA.
Analyst Takes: Cryptocurrency trader Michaël van de Poppe observed that the markets were “correcting.” He urged his followers on X, formerly Twitter, to not panic.
“Missed the first run? Wait for these retraces and start scaling in slowly. Don’t panic when markets correct, it’s just part of the game.”
Van De Poppe said that Bitcoin was fighting resistance at the $34,700 mark and a breakout there could lead to the $37000 to $38,000 level. The Amsterdam-based trader said, “Corrections are usually quite swift in upwards trends.”
Meanwhile, market intelligence platform Santiment noted that certain assets have been “under the radar” despite the vast majority of crypto having “flourished” in the second half of October. The platform said Ethereum, Cardano (ADA) and Stellar (XLM) were three such coins.
