Although commodities are likely to see a boost with the upcoming US CB Consumer Confidence report on Tuesday, gold and silver remain largely constrained. The main hurdles are at $1,930 and $23.04 for XAU/USD and XAG/USD respectively.
Meanwhile, BTC is showing resilience above $30k and could rise further amid recent spot ETF related news.
According to Santiment analysts, there is a probability that BTC/USD rises further. Following crypto markets’ jump to local tops last Friday, traders have been expecting a retracement for buy the dip opportunities in the $27k-$29k region. This scenario could lead to increased bearish sentiment, which the analysts suggest could be an ingredient for new upward action.
