Bitcoin price has led the wider altcoin market in bearish sentiment as gold investors enjoy more gains. As the wider crypto market recorded bearish sentiment in the past 24 hours, the Gold price surged 2% to trade at about $4,200 per ounce at press time.
The technical headwinds in the wider crypto market coincided with the reopening of the U.S. government after 40 days of shutdown. Although the re-opening of the U.S. government is positive for the economy, the crypto market experienced a potential sell-the-news impact.
The crypto bull market 2025 is likely to resume in the coming weeks fueled by the Fed’s money printing. Furthermore, Gold price has likely topped out and has been forming a macro double top, which is bullish for the wider crypto bull market.
