Both bitcoin and ether are opening the Asia business day fairly flat, with bitcoin flat at $28,303 and ether up 1.6% to $1,813.
Stock markets in Asia are in the green, with the Nikkei 225 opening 1%.
Bitcoin is likely dormant, and awaiting major economic news for its next move, because of low liquidity. As Kaiko noted earlier this week, bitcoin trading is at its lowest level in eight months after Binance reintroduced trading fees. This is on top of the existing liquidity woes bitcoin currently faces, as fiat pipelines dry up.
Looking ahead to the next week there are a number of economic events that should spur traders’ interest.
John C. Williams, president of the New York Fed, is scheduled to speak Friday afternoon U.S. time, along with Federal Reserve governors Lisa Cook and Christopher J. Waller later in the day. Traders often read the tea leaves from these engagements to see what’s coming tomorrow.
With the U.S. government taking an apparent stand against crypto, traders are no doubt looking to see if there’s anything that can disprove this and show that authorities plan to treat the asset class fairly.
