The cryptocurrency market enjoys a recovery following the volatile period caused by the US presidential election. After a minor downside correction, Bitcoin price started a fresh increase and climbed above the USD 36,000 resistance.

In the past few hours, many altcoins gained more than 5%, including RUNE, AAVE, EWT, LINK, STX, BAND,UNI, SNX and more. 

However, Yearn. finance’s YFI Price has been subjected to major fluctuation for the past few days, with its price plunging to $24K. Within hours of tapping these lows, a sudden influx of buy-side pressure sent it rocketing to highs of $30K, marking a well-over 22% rally from its daily lows.

Factors that can Fuel Yearn finance Price 

One crypto-focused economist is now pointing to three trends working in Yearn.finance’s favor, noting that they all indicate upside is imminent.

Logic is simple.

#1 risk-on week
#2 btc to trade with risk
#3 alts to trade like high betas vs btc

If that holds true we go up strong next week.$YFI is spot and has no stops. Size accordingly.

Chart is for the bitcoin futures basis.
