🌎 Crypto Market Sees Significant Decline Amid Bitcoin Stabilization

Global Crypto Market Cap Sees Significant Decline, Bitcoin Stabilizes Below $100,000

The global cryptocurrency market cap has declined to $3.4 trillion, marking a significant drop from its previous all-time high of $3.8 trillion. This decrease is largely attributed to the recent price fluctuations of the dominant cryptocurrency, Bitcoin.

Bitcoin’s Price Action

Bitcoin (BTC) experienced a notable price surge, reaching an 18.7% increase to $99,655, before stabilizing below $97,000. This price action has had a ripple effect on the overall cryptocurrency market, with several other cryptocurrencies also experiencing significant price movements.

Gaming Market Segment Sees Strong Performers

The gaming market segment has seen several strong performers in the past week, with The Sandbox (SAND) and Decentraland (MANA) experiencing notable price gains.

The Sandbox (SAND) retested its six-month resistance at $0.6525, up 31% today, after closing last week with an 11% gain.
Decentraland (MANA) gained 51% last week, with MANA reaching a 9-month peak above $0.72 this new week.

MANA appears to be forming an ascending broadening wedge pattern, which suggests sellers are struggling to take control of the market. However, if MANA remains within the wedge, a drop could ensue this new week. Nonetheless, if the bulls can record a push above the upper trendline, the uptrend could be sustained.

Axie Infinity Showcases Bullish Momentum

Axie Infinity (AXS) also engineered a significant price surge, soaring 31% from a low of $5.34 on Nov. 21 to a six-month peak of $7.050 on Nov. 23. Following a pullback, it gained 12% last week. The new week has begun with intense bullishness, as AXS rose 21.78% this morning, eyeing the $9 price mark.

Axie Infinity has staged a breakout above the Ichimoku Cloud, now trading well above the cloud, which serves as a support zone. The Tenkan-sen and Kijun-sen have also aligned bullishly. The MACD indicator confirms this bullish trend, as the MACD line has crossed above the signal line, with a growing positive histogram.
