Get an in-depth analysis of Bitcoin’s recent price action and what it means for the future of altcoins in our latest article.
Why is Investor Interest in Altcoins Declining?
The interest in altcoins has been diminishing, particularly after significant liquidations in futures trading. For instance, Stellar’s derivatives market volume has plunged to $31.04 million, marking a 52% decline over the last 24 hours. Historical data reveals that the derivatives volume hit a peak of $78.18 million on March 12 but has been declining consistently, hitting the lowest levels since May 1.
This reduction in futures trading volume signifies a waning interest from professional investors, which could extend to further price drops. A lack of futures activity may weaken liquidity in the spot market, potentially leading to more pronounced declines as investors begin to lose faith and sell off their assets.
Does RSI Indicate Overselling?
The Relative Strength Index (RSI), which serves as a key indicator of investor interest, stands at 36.31 for XLM Coin. This suggests that the cryptocurrency is nearing oversold territory. RSI is measured on a scale of 0 to 100, and values below 30 indicate overselling, while values above 70 suggest overbuying.
Key Insights for Investors
Actionable insights for investors include:
– Keep a close watch on Bitcoin price movements; failing to reclaim the $66,000 mark might extend the bearish trend.
– Monitor RSI levels for any signs of recovery in XLM Coin.
– Pay attention to changes in derivatives market volumes as indicators of renewed investor interest.
– Consider the implications of government sales and cryptocurrency transfers to exchanges on overall market sentiment.
Conclusion
As of June 8, XLM Coin has dipped below the critical $0.1 support level it had maintained since June 7, establishing a new resistance level. The $0.09 support is now considered the last line of defense before deeper declines, potentially down to $0.08 if bulls fail to defend this level. A recovery to $0.1 could reverse the negative trend, but as long as Bitcoin continues its decline, bearish momentum could prevail. At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $64,800.
