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 rip upwards amid the recent spot ETF related news.
The probability that BTC/USD rises further is highlighted in the chart below by Santiment analysts. They say that following crypto markets’s jump to local tops last Friday, expectation among traders has been for a retracement for buy the dip opportunities in the $27k-$29k region.

It’s a scenario for increased bearish sentiment, which the analysts suggest could be an ingredient for new upward action.
As CoinJournal reported on Monday, latest data also shows Bitcoin’s correlation with the Nasdaq 100 is at a three-year low.
