Analysts expect rebound to be short-lived

Despite the good news, some high-end crypto traders and analysts working with technical charts believe that this bull run is brief and should end soon.

The Crypto Dog analyst on Twitter warns that even though we are witnessing a small recovery, this is most likely to reverse.

If this turns mega bullish and we start to reach 5-6k:

DO NOT FORGET we are in a macro bear market. It's not going to just go up and break out and go on to new ATHs. Rallies will fail, prepare for it!

Since there has been only a small increase in trading activity, the analysts are warning that the crypto market is likely to go back down. In order to show a stable bull run, the market needs stability and a gradual rise of its value. Meanwhile, the brief rise could only add to the volatility that is already out there, making the upcoming fall even harder.

Top-20 coins on the rise

Among the lower rank of crypto coins, the biggest gains are shown by Ethereum Classic (+12.26 percent) and NEM (+9.37). It is closely followed by recent top gainer Waves, which so far is now showing only a 9.18-percent spike.

The minimum growth rate among these ten coins, from Cardano to Zcash, is 5 percent with only NEO showing +4.75 percent.
