• Bearish momentum persists
• A stronger greenback pressures most cryptocurrencies

Monero didn’t capitalize on Bitcoin’s power. Another occasions, each time Bitcoin rallied, different cryptocurrencies adopted. 

Solely this time is completely different. Subsequently, one might argue that different cryptocurrencies lag and can leap, too, following Bitcoin’s lead. However one other take is that Bitcoin positive aspects will disappear, and a stronger US greenback will emerge.

The bearish view is that the one-year-long triangle is a bearish continuation sample. If that’s the case, the US greenback will preserve gaining towards its fiat friends and cryptocurrencies.
