As blue-chip cryptocurrencies trade with a bearish bias on Wednesday, Bitcoin (BTC) is sliding back to $ 62,000 after it found resistance at its 50DMA earlier this week. With a stagnant market outlook for larger cap coins, traders are parsing through the altcoins markets to look for the best crypto to buy today that might deliver a quick upside.
At current levels around $62,500, Bitcoin is down close to 5% from its Monday high of $65,500.
The cryptocurrency is still up over 10% compared to last week’s lows, however.
Short-term macro headwinds eased last week following weaker-than-expected US jobs data, easing fears about an overly hawkish Fed.
Spot Bitcoin ETF inflows also returned, though they have since petered out once again.
The near-term Bitcoin price outlook looks very much tilted to consolidation within recent ranges.
With Fed rate cuts still some way off and ETF flows not providing much momentum, Bitcoin lacks short-term price narratives.
Consolidation in the coming months would fit Bitcoin’s typical 4-6 months post-halving and summer seasonality.

It should be at $250K instead
