DeFi sector tokens offer shelter as Bitcoin falls below $48.5K

FARM, QUICK and ANT offer crypto traders shelter from the storm as the wider market takes a hit with Bitcoin struggling below $48,500.

The cryptocurrency market slid lower on Dec. 28 as the price of Bitcoin (BTC) lost nearly $4,000 in value in a matter of hours with bulls now looking to secure support at $48,500 to prevent further losses. 

In the midst of the market-wide drawdown, the decentralized finance (DeFi) sector of the crypto ecosystem has offered some traders shelter from the storm, with several tokens seeing gains in excess of 30%.

As seen in the chart above, the VORTECS™ Score for FARM climbed into the green zone on Dec. 25 and reached a high of 75 around two hours before the price increased 207% over the next three days.

The boost in the price of FARM comes as the project continues to move towards full decentralization including the ability for community members, known as “builders,” to deploy new farming strategies and update the user interface as needed.

QuickSwap adds support for Harmony

ECOMI, Aragon and Ramp breakout after Bitcoin price pushes above $49K

OMI, ANT and RAMP booked 20% gains after Bitcoin and the wider crypto sector reacted positively to today’s Federal Reserve announcements.

Cryptocurrency prices and investor sentiment reversed course on Dec. 15 after Federal Reserve chairman Jerome Powell confirmed the bank's plan to hike interest rates in 2022 and slow down the bond purchasing program that had been in play since the emergence of the coronavirus in March 2020.

Following the announcement, Bitcoin (BTC) price tacked on a 1.65% gain, bringing the price above $49,000 and Ether trekked back above the $4,000 mark. Altcoins followed suit with their usual double-digit gains and for the moment, it appears as if bulls have taken back control of the market.

Presearch, Aragon and IOTA explode higher after Bitcoin price clips $50K

PRE, ANT and MIOTA lead altcoins higher as increasing bullish momentum has analysts calling for Bitcoin price to overtake $50,000.

Optimism across the crypto market continues to rise as bullish developments in the price of Bitcoin and Ethereum (ETH) renewed discussions about a 2013-style double-pump rally that could push (BTC) price past $100,000. 

The positive price action hasn’t been limited to the top two market leaders. Many altcoins continue to rally and the 'altseason' indicator from Cointelegraph Markets Pro is signaling that the momentum could continue for a while longer.

Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView shows that the biggest gainers over the past 24-hours were Presearch (PRE), Aragon (ANT) and IOTA (MIOTA).

Presearch's android app will debut on Chrome

The top performer of the day is Presearch, a blockchain-based, decentralized search engine that is community-driven and allows users to search privately and earn rewards for their activity.

VORTECS™ data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro began to detect a bullish outlook for PRE on Sept. 1, prior to the recent price rise.

$51K Bitcoin price not a problem as ‘structurally, nothing has changed’

On-chain data points toward a bullish future for Bitcoin despite today’s sell-off to $50,400.

On March 25, concerns surrounding the record-breaking $6.1 billion (BTC) options expiry this Friday sparked an overnight sell-off that dropped Bitcoin price to $50,400.

The downturn was not a surprise for many traders and some called for a possible test of the $47,000 support level. Despite Bitcoin's loss of bullish momentum, several derivatives indicators, including a bullish futures premium and a neutral skew, suggest that the price may not drop below $50,000.

While technical indicators paint a mixed picture of Bitcoin's short-term price action, the asset retains strong fundamentals today media reported that sovereign wealth funds have begun inquiring about opening positions in BTC. This points to growing global adoption for BTC and the cryptocurrency sector as a whole as new Ether (ETH) trusts are also being established to serve institutional investors.

Analysts suggest the market is oversold

Glassnode co-founder and CTO Rafael Schultze-Kraft recently highlighted a possible dip lower based on low realized price distribution between $51,100 and $54,000.

In a follow-up tweet after Thursday’s drop, Schultze-Kraft reaffirmed that the dip was “not unexpected” and in his view, the overall outlook remains bullish.

Schultze-Kraft said:

“Structurally, nothing has changed. I have yet to see a data point that points long-term bearish.”

Further evidence of a possible turnaround in the near-term can be found when looking at Bitcoin’s liquid supply change, which decreased by the largest amount in more than 6 months.

This suggests that a large number of BTC have been pulled out of the circulating supply and deposited into longer-term storage wallets as bulls prepare for the price to trend higher.

Altcoins sink lower

A majority of the altcoins were hit hard by the Bitcoin sell-off as traders across the market exited positions in an attempt to hold on to their recent gains.

The one stand-out among altcoins is Aragon (ANT), whose recent pivot toward DeFi and nonfungible tokens has helped to spark a 50% rally to $13.56.

Holochain (HOT) and Balancer (BAL) have also managed to put up a positive gain of 5.2% and 6.4% respectively.

The overall cryptocurrency market cap now stands at $1.62 trillion and Bitcoin’s dominance rate is 59.4%.
