Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency Market Rebound After Monday's Dip

Jakarta, December 14, 2023 - The cryptocurrency market has shown signs of recovery following a decline in Bitcoin's price earlier this week. After experiencing a notable increase of up to $44,500 (Rp690 million) on Tuesday, December 5, Bitcoin subsequently witnessed a price decrease of $40,200 (Rp623 million) on Monday, December 12.

However, Bitcoin, often considered a key indicator of the cryptocurrency market's trajectory, has since regained momentum and is currently trading at the $42,000 level (Rp651 million), representing a 4.27% increase over the past 24 hours.

Ethereum (ETH), another prominent cryptocurrency, has also remained above the $2,000 (Rp31 million) support level, currently trading at $2,215 (Rp34.3 million), an increase of 3.2% since last week.

The overall market capitalization of the cryptocurrency sector has also experienced a strengthening by 2.30% in the last 24 hours. Altcoins, a collection of alternative cryptocurrencies, have also shown signs of recovery.

Analysts from Ajaib Kripto, a prominent Indonesian cryptocurrency exchange, anticipate the release of several key economic data points this week, including the third-quarter GDP report on Thursday, December 21, which will provide insights into the health of the US economy. The report is expected to indicate a stable economic growth rate of approximately 5.2%.

Despite the upcoming economic data releases in the US, Ajaib believes that market participants remain optimistic following the US Federal Reserve's meeting last week. Market expectations for a potential interest rate cut of around 25 basis points in March 2024 are relatively high, with a probability of approximately 66.70% according to the FedWatch Tool CME.

"This anticipation stems from the hope of a significant decline in interest rates next year due to a potential decrease in inflation in the US. Consequently, the cryptocurrency market is unlikely to be significantly impacted by the release of economic data in the US this week," added Ajaib's analysts.

Experts emphasize that while the current cryptocurrency market conditions show signs of recovery, volatility remains a characteristic of the industry, and investors should exercise caution and conduct thorough research before making any investment decisions.
