Over the course of the week of February 14–21, 2021 and according to criptonoticias, the market is mostly bullish, largely driven by the growth of bitcoin. The price of more than 90% of the altcoins registered advances that exceed 140%.
The most appreciated cryptocurrencies in these seven days are headed by Stratis (STRAX), whose wrapped token can already be traded on the Ethereum testnet. They are followed by Dash (DASH), which made alliances with several companies throughout the week; and Polkadot (DOT), which is advancing the process of integrating its blockchain networks.
The weekly hit closes with Lisk (LSK), which has an account update process underway; and NEM (XEM), which is moving forward with testing transactions for its Symbol blockchain.
Next Correction
This week the price of Bitcoin broke the psychological barrier of $ 50,000. The cryptocurrency traded in ranges that moved between $ 46,500 and a high of $ 57,536, which it experienced on February 20. Average growth was 21.8% in seven days.
After some corrections, the value of BTC rose significantly from February 16, to reach almost $ 55,000 per unit that same day. On February 19, the cryptocurrency reached a new important milestone in its bull cycle, surpassing 1 trillion dollars in market capitalization.
For the next few days, the expectation is that the Bitcoin reaches $ 60,000, within that 3 expansive created in the weekly chart. However, there is already a strong correction conformation towards wave 4 between $ 54,184.41 and $ 47,070.09.
Optimists will fight to maintain current price levels, but those who have missed many opportunities to buy cheap can simply take advantage of that next wave of correction.
On the other hand, many attribute the breakout of $ 50,000 to the announcement that MicroStrategy, one of the companies leading the wave of institutional investment in bitcoin, will seek to raise another $ 1.05 billion to invest in the cryptocurrency. Although some analysts had already considered that the breakdown of that brand was a matter of time.
Slow Forward
Ether (ETH), on the other hand, also increased in value substantially. Their average progress was 12%. The price ranged between USD 1,698 and USD 2,036 in these seven days. By breaking the barrier of $ 2,000 for the first time in its history, the cryptocurrency registered an increase of more than 170% in one year.
This week, the total deposited in the staking of the network’s validators already reaches 3,100,000 ETH, according to data from the Launchpad Ethereum portal. This represents 2.7% of the total supply of ethers.
The above on the positive side. It is worth noting then that we will soon see Ethereum under the great dominance that it has with the correlation with Bitcoin and in a correction phase within the Elliot ABC wave or perhaps accumulation ABCD and long before reaching the next diagonal resistance of the $ 3569.56.
Basically, and in case that correction occurs, we can see the price retracing to approximately $ 1359.59 and the support of the breakout of the previous ATH.
Wrapped Token
According to information published on his Twitter account, wSTRAX, a wrapped token that will be launched on the Ethereum network on March 8. The announcement was made on February 13, shortly before the network’s cryptocurrency, STRAX, will start to rise in price significantly. On average, it appreciated 140% in seven days.

According to the release schedule, the masternode for the trial version of the wSTRAX wallet was set up between February 14–15. On the 16th, the Stratis Interflux chain was tested for interoperability between blockchains, which allowed transactions with the token on the Ethereum Ropsten testnet.
