The cryptocurrency bull market has begun

The cryptocurrency market continues to rally, gaining nearly 7% over the past 24 hours to reach $2.51T. Having risen by 18% since the start of the week, the market has demonstrated a dramatic shift in investor sentiment. Since hitting a low of $2.04T in early July, market capitalisation has risen by 24%, marking the formal start of the bull market. However, a negative correlation with the Nasdaq-100 persists, where sellers remain in control despite attempts by the US Treasury Secretary to reassure investors.

The sentiment index soared to 72, just 3 points below the ‘extreme greed’ level. The index was last above this level on 5 October, when it stood at 74, and it has not sustained such levels for over a year. This provides further confirmation that the market has entered a bullish phase.

🇺🇸 US Pre-Market: Mostly Positive 📈

Positive momentum is prevailing in the US stock market pre-market, with gains in major technology and retail stocks setting the overall tone.

In the Information Technology sector, NVIDIA (NVDA) is up 0.59%, while Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) is up 1.27%.

In the Financials sector, JPMorgan Chase (JPM) is up 0.85%, while Bank of America (BAC) is up 0.63%.

In the Consumer Discretionary sector, Amazon (AMZN) is up 0.75%, while in the Consumer Staples sector, Walmart (WMT) is down 0.15%.

Given that the largest names by market cap are posting gains, market sentiment is distinctly risk-on: interest is shifting toward equities, while demand for the dollar as a safe-haven asset remains subdued.
