The worldwide crypto market is currently valued at $1.52 trillion, showing a slight increase of 2.78% in the past 24 hours. During this period, the total crypto market activity reached $48.67 billion, marking a 10.42% increase.

In the decentralized finance (DeFi) sector, the volume stands at $5.41 billion, contributing 11.11% to the overall crypto market activity within the last day. Stablecoins make up a significant portion, totaling $43.25 billion and representing 88.87% of the total crypto market volume in the past 24 hours.

As for Bitcoin, its dominance has risen to 52.43%, showing a slight increase of 0.46% during the day.

BTC: BTC price increased by 3.60% and 9.31% over 24 hours and the past seven days. The assets reached a low and high of $39,341.51 and $40,875.23, respectively.

Grayscale, a frontrunner in crypto asset management, recently hinted at transforming its Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) into a Bitcoin ETF, a move poised to bridge the current 8.09% gap between its $1.89 billion market value and Bitcoin’s price. Such a shift holds the potential to align GBTC’s valuation more closely with the actual worth of Bitcoin, possibly erasing the discount and offering substantial advantages to investors.

This strategic transition by Grayscale to convert GBTC into a Bitcoin ETF might eliminate the existing 8.09% disparity between its market value and Bitcoin’s price, potentially aligning the trust’s value more accurately with the cryptocurrency. This move bears promising advantages and is expected to narrow the gap and benefit investors considerably.

BTC Technical Analysis:

BTC maintains its bullish move and has broken the most recently formed resistance level of $37994.13.

The price also broke the bullish channel and is moving up. The 50EMA is still trading below and is far from the current price, showing a bullish sentiment. The price is forming higher highs and higher lows.

The RSI level is at 75.89, signaling an overbought condition. As discussed in the previous analysis, the price broke the previous high and surged, forming a new swing high of $41774.78.

As per our previous analysis, the $39133.49 is breached. Moreover, if that level is breached, the price may stand at near $46000.00 level.

ETH: ETH price increased by 2.40% and 8.05% over 24 hours and the past seven days. The asset reached a low and high of $2,151.72 and $2,228.01, respectively.

ETH Technical Analysis:

ETH was moving up and was trading between major current zones of $1921.65 and $2134.99. However, the $2134.99 is breached. The double-top pattern formed is now breached.

The RSI is at 71.54, showing an overbought condition. The price here can come for a retest at the $2134.99 level. The new swing high is at $2263.42.

Based on the analysis, ETH is anticipated to reach $$2400.00 by mid-December 2023.

Deaton emphasized concerns over what he perceives as the SEC and Gary Gensler’s disregard for legal adherence, asserting their perceived threat to the cryptocurrency industry. He urged Chairman Patrick McHenry and the Financial Services Committee to take robust and immediate action. Furthermore, Attorney Bill Morgan expressed surprise at the Committee’s hesitancy in issuing a congressional subpoena, hinting at potential political motives underlying their stance.

XRP Technical Analysis:

XRP was in a downtrend but is now stuck between two zones, $0.4681 and $0.5627. In the previous analysis, we plotted a resistance that the price is trying to break. The price is taking support of the 50EMA, which is a good sign of a bullish move.

As the whole crypto market rises, we could see XRP enthusiasts and investors getting into the market. The RSI line is at 56.49, a signal of slight overbought condition. The price is now breaking the previous swing high and the resistance.

XRP may trade at $0.8498 very soon if the market continues to move in the bullish direction.

LTC: LTC price increased by 2.74% and 6.48% over 24 hours and the past seven days. The asset reached a low and high of $71.45 and $74.46, respectively.

LTC stock saw a 10% dip, halting its climb and stabilizing at $55.85. Poor performance redirected investor attention. Trader John Bollinger warned about LTC, noting its lag compared to Bitcoin. LTC’s correlation with BTC could predict market trends, indicating lower trader confidence or interest. A 14% volume drop in LTC trades signals a struggle, urging caution for investors eyeing the altcoin.

LTC Technical Analysis:

LTC was moving up but then went into a ranging condition. LTC price broke the range, moving up. On the way, it also took the support of the 50EMA. The current price has started trading above the 50EMA by crossing above it, showing a bullish sentiment.

The price broke the resistance that we plotted previously. The RSI line is at 64.18, showing a slight overbought condition. The market is forming a higher high and higher low, with multiple wick rejections from the buyers showing a bullish inclination. The next major resistance is at $76, which the market may break if it continues its bullish move.

LTC is predicted to reach $80 in Dec.
