BTC did not rise following the stock market and even declined. The flagship cryptocurrency is holding around 19,157 USD on Wednesday. BTC’s correlation with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq indices has momentarily weakened. This is due to a lack of liquidity on the floor, as well as the formation of bearish signals on time frames below the daily. Cryptocurrency exchanges still have no “ideas” of their own.

Technically, the area of 18,000-19,000 USD is still being held back by the sellers. However, it is no longer certain that the next bearish attack will hold. The faster the market advances to 20,500 USD and starts storming the resistance at 21,500 USD, the better the chances are for the continuation of the rally.
