Bitcoin Cash on the graph above in Blue - with data available since the 2nd we can see a sharp appreciation at start and then a sell off towards support around $400. Is this the fair value or will we see the market deprecate, Q4 will be a telling time for the pair past the August 1st split.
The Dollar Index a trade-weighted index measured against a basked of currencies which reflects the US Dollars purchasing power is continually dragging down past the previous years low in a 14 week downturn.
Commodities, Cable and Euro have been buoyed by the weakness, if BTC is receiving the same correlation - a strengthened Dollar in turn of Fed balance sheet normalisation, change of policy or increase in Bond yields could see new levels emerge.
