A rumor pertaining to Bitcoin Cash ( BCH) emerged today, with claims that the founders of CoinEx and ViaBTC will initiate another fork of BCH — which will be called BCC. On WeChat, some cryptocurrency communities started discussing the purchasing of BCH based on the price movement of the previous BTC forks. However, the price of BCH dropped 2.04% over the last 24 hours.
Chainlink ( LINK) hit as high as $9.96 yesterday — just one step away from $10, but it has now retreated to the $9.50 level. There is an obvious RSI divergence on the daily chart with overbought RSI levels.
In the decentralized finance sector, we have seen another boom over the last 24 hours. Akropolis (AKRO) and THORChain (RUNE) surged by roughly 30%. Kyber Network ( KNC) and Bancor (BNT), meanwhile, realized gains of about 10%.
In the traditional markets, gold futures prices surged late Tuesday — closing above the $2,000 mark for the highest-ever close in history. Lower United States government bond yields and a weaker dollar have pushed precious metals prices up.
U.S. stocks were mixed on Tuesday, with the Nasdaq Composite Index down a slight 0.10% and the S&P 500 Index up a mere 2.16 points, or 0.07%.

BTC technical analysis
On Sunday, BTC was supported by the four-hour MA60 and the 0.5 Fibonacci retracement level. The midterm bullish pattern is still intact. The 0.236 Fib level around $11,400 is a short-term resistance area. Support may be found at the 0.382 Fib level, near $11,000.
BTC is currently in a consolidation phase after a big drop. It may be difficult to see a particularly big price move in the short term.
