Bitcoin continues to track horizontally in what analysts note to be the tightest range in months, meaning that the difference between the highs and lows in price have been dotted very close together.

The leading crypto by market cap is trading for around $26.8k this morning, while the price of Ethereum (ETH) remains virtually unchanged from yesterday, changing hands for around $1.8k.

Most of crypto is in the red this morning as investors in traditional and digital asset markets keep an eye on events unfolding in the global economy. It’s a similar story in traditional markets, with the SP500, Dow Jones and Nasdaq moving sideways in the red.
