After briefly falling below $16,000, Bitcoin has reclaimed that level, but contagion fears and speculations due to Genesis trading failing to raise funds remain in play.
The market sentiment was further affected by a potential CRV short which could affect DeFi leaders CRV and Aave.
While the S&P 500 is holding on to 3,950 as it moves sideways, DXY is meeting resistance. Even though BTC is up above $16,000 for now, volatility can be expected as FOMC minutes are released tomorrow.
