Market sentiment also reflects this: According to the Crypto Fear & Greed Index, traders are less fearful, and the index currently sits at 28, a shift from yesterday's ''extreme fear'' to ''fear.''

As U.Today reported, Bitcoin traders suggest the potential for a green first week on the crypto market in January.

Alex Krüger, a crypto trader and economist, noted in a recent tweet that for the past four years straight, Bitcoin (BTC) enjoyed positive returns in the first week of January, ranging from 7% to 36% between 2018 and 2021.

Most cryptocurrencies were adding value at press time, with Terra LUNA, Aave and Cosmos outperforming in the last 24 hours.

Mixed signals trail Bitcoin market

Mixed signals continue to trail the Bitcoin market, as the majority of participants seem to remain undecided about the near-term outlook for Bitcoin (BTC). Traders seem to be awaiting a significant move in either direction before planning their next entry point. The $53K mark remains a significant barrier on the upside.

According to Glassnode, Bitcoin is seeing low-volume trading on centralized exchanges as the year drags to a close.

On the positive side, Bitcoin shows a negative NetFlow of -$658.3 million in the last 24 hours. When NetFlow is negative, it indicates that outflows are surpassing inflows. In this instance, investors withdraw more BTC than they deposit, and this might be bullish for the lead cryptocurrency.
