Crypto markets look steady on back of flat weekend trading for Bitcoin

February 5, 2024

THE price of Bitcoin has remained flat over the last 24 hours, moving steadily between $42,800 and $43,000, while Ethereum is following a similar pattern, trading horizontally around $2,300.

The Fear and Greed Index remains anchored in Neutral. 

Chainlink continues to show returns, its price up by more than 4% overnight and around 26% over seven days. Other cryptos such as Polygon and Polkadot are also in the positive overnight. 

Globally, the US economy continues to show strong numbers, the latest being the strong jobs numbers reported on Friday. The numbers may calm the recession fears, but investors could have to wait a while longer for the anticipated rate cuts in the US, which is generally considered a stimulus for economic activity.
