The VET/USD pair is trading at its highest level since July 10th, 2019, and has been advancing since Chinese President Xi Jinping announced Beijing’s embracement of blockchain technology.

The total cryptocurrency market capitalization is currently $236 billion, down $11 billion from last week — a loss of 4.5%.

Bitcoin has fallen to a low of $8,495 as of press time. The BTC/USD pair currently trades around its 50-day moving average located at the $8,550 level. 

Key technical support below $8,500 is located at the October 20th swing-high at $8,350, as well as the psychological $8,000 level.

Bitcoin’s 200-period moving average on the four-hour time frame offers the strongest form of near-term resistance at $8,686. 

Scalpex’s Social Index, a measure of Bitcoin’s market expectations, shows that traders are heavily bearish towards the BTC/USD pair.
