Blue-chip cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (BTC), Ether (ETH), XRP (XRP) and BNB (BNB) are consolidating on Tuesday as traders take stocks of gains in recent weeks and eye commentary from Fed policymakers later in the week.
But with US stocks pushing up and US government bond yields looking like they want to continue the recent reversal lower from multi-decade highs, macro looks set to remain a tailwind.
Bitcoin was last trading just above $35,000, flat on the day, whilst Ether was last just under $1,900, though looks on the verge of a pump higher to test year-to-date highs in the $2,100s given the cryptocurrency is threatening a breakout above a key downtrend.
The fact that a recent surge in Ethereum network activity has turned the Ether supply deflationary once again could further aid the cryptocurrency’s near-term upside potential.
