Following yesterday's optimism after the Fed's decision, riskier assets, including cryptocurrencies, gained strongly. Bitcoin broke through the $35,000 barrier and is currently maintaining above that level. The market capitalization of the main cryptocurrency has increased by over 30% since mid-October 2023.
We are currently at an interesting point. Taking into account historical cycles and the direction of capital flow between sectors in the cryptocurrency market, the market may now turn towards smaller projects. Bitcoin has broken new highs this year and has seen an impressive price increase. Rises in Bitcoin have drained capital from smaller projects, including Ethereum, which over the same period grew less on average than BTC. If in the coming weeks we see a period of consolidation in the main cryptocurrency, even with small declines, capital may begin to flow into Ethereum and smaller Altcoins.

On the technical chart of Bitcoin, we see that the increases have stopped at the $35,800 level, which coincides with the 37.8% Fibonacci retracement level of the entire Bitcoin cycle counting from the peak of the previous bull market to the bottom at the end of 2022. To break through this significant barrier, the market may need additional catalysts. Currently, the most likely are the acceptance of ETFs by the SEC and the upcoming halving in April 2023. However, it is not excluded that at the current levels we may experience a slight correction, and the price of BTC will start to consolidate, slightly losing towards the support zone at the level of $31,000 - $32,000.
