The cryptocurrency market digest (BTC, ETH, SHIB). Overview for 28.03.2022

Thanks for great news, BTC! The leading cryptocurrency reached all the set goals, stepped over an extremely important threshold of $46,000, and is trading at $47,024 today. What is next? Technically, the nearest resistance is at $48,300, and this is a serious obstacle that prevents buyers from easily reaching $51,000.

The reason for the growth was an increase in bullish activity in the US stock market. As you remember, there is a correlation between the BTC and the Nasdaq index. If US investors continue buying – and there is not much that can prevent them from it now – the crypto will only win.

This week, volatility can be high. Market participants will keep an eye on the US employment market and speeches of monetary politicians from the Fed and Federal Reserve Bank. As long as many people are waiting for an increase in the interest rate by 50 basis points in May, as mentioned by the head of the Fed Jerome Powell, this topic will be raised at any time possible.
