Qume Market Mondays 13/04/2020
Welcome to another edition of Qume Market Mondays!
In the preceding weeks, the Coronavirus has wiped off nearly 1/3rd of the global market cap, shaking investor confidence and triggering panic across the world.
With global indices taking a nosedive, Bitcoin too fell from $9,000 to $3,900 but since has bounced back to key support levels, holding the $6,500+ mark for a week.
Volatility Indices
In the last month, Bitcoin has registered high volatility unlike anything seen in the last 5 years. The market has been bearish ever since the sell-off and it failed to break the resistance at $7,500, receding back to $6,700 levels.
Derivatives Markets
Funding
For most of April, derivative perpetuals have traded at discounts with negative funding rates.
Trading Volumes
High trading volumes registered with rebound signals further recovery in BTC price.
Traders ditching BitMEX
