Bitcoin: on Monday, August 8, trading on the BTC/USDt pair ended with growth. Bitcoin has risen in price against the dollar by 2.74%, to $23,810. In the American session, buyers raised the price by $24,245. There were problems with the continuation of the upward movement, as US stocks turned lower. Investor attention shifted from Friday's labor market to the US consumer price index. The report will be released on Wednesday. Inflation data may change the Fed's expectations for further actions and have an impact on all markets.
On Tuesday, August 9, futures for the SP500 index traded in a small plus. The BTC/USDt pair retreated to $23,780. The buyers went through the $23,500 level perfectly, but stalled around the $24,500-$25,000 zone, which is an intermediate resistance. The crypto in 2020 lost its independence and is now dependent on the stock market. In this regard, we have to monitor the dynamics of the indices, as many investors expect the United States to plunge into a deep recession and a new market collapse.
On the hourly timeframe, the market is ready for continued growth to $24,400. If futures for indices do not drop before the opening of the American session, then it is quite possible to see the continuation of the upward movement.
