Price analysis 6/10: BTC, ETH, BNB, ADA, XRP, SOL, DOGE, DOT, AVAX, SHIB
The United States equities markets tumbled on June 10 after the Consumer Price Index (CPI) report showed inflation soaring 8.6% from a year ago, the highest increase since 1981. The latest figures show that talks of inflation having peaked were premature and according to Bloomberg, investors are pricing in the key interest rate of 3% by the end of the year. Continuing its tight correlation with the S&P 500, Bitcoin (BTC) dipped below $30,000 on June 10. Analysts are still divided about the near-term price action but Fundstrat co-founder Tom Lee said in an interview with CNBC that Bitcoin may have already bottomed. However, Lee seems to have toned down his expectations as he said that Bitcoin could “remain flat for the year, possibly up.” Daily cryptocurrency market performance. So...

Avalanche price eyes 30% jump in June with AVAX’s classic bullish reversal pattern
Avalanche (AVAX) shows signs of continuing its ongoing rebound move as it paints a classic bullish reversal pattern. AVAX price to $35? Dubbed as “double bottom,” the pattern appears when the price establishes a support level, rebounds, corrects after finding a resistance level, pulls back toward the previous support and bounces back toward the resistance level to pursue a breakout. Since May 27, AVAX’s price trends appear like those typically witnessed during the double bottom formation. Specifically, the AVAX/USD pair on the four-hour chart has bounced twice after testing the same support level near $22.25, and now eyes a breakout above its resistance level — also called “neckline” — near $27.50.

After creating the dubious record of nine successive red weekly closes, Bitcoin (BTC) is attempting to make amends by starting a price recovery to end the losing streak. Analysts have repeatedly said that investors should not fear a bear market because it is one of the best times to invest in fundamentally strong projects in preparation for the next bull phase. CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju highlighted that unspent transaction outputs (UTXOs) that are older than six months reflect 62% of the realized cap, which is similar to the level seen during the March 2020 crash. Hence, Ki said that Bitcoin may be close to forming a cyclic bottom. Daily cryptocurrency market performance.

The United States equity markets are attempting a recovery after weeks of relentless selling. Along similar lines, on-chain monitoring resource Material Indicators expects the crypto market to recover, but they anticipate Bitcoin (BTC) to spend some time in a range before “a real breakout.” The seven-day moving average of the on-chain transaction volume tracked by Glassnode hit a nine-month low on May 23. This suggests that Bitcoin’s lackluster price action in 2022 has led to reduced participation from traders. Daily cryptocurrency market performance.

Terra fallout: Stablegains lawsuit, Hashed loses billions, Finder wrong and more
Fallout from the collapse of the Terra ecosystem continues to unfold with the United States-based yield generation application Stablegains facing potential legal action over its losses from the event. Users believe that Stablegain has allegedly lost up to $44 million worth of deposited funds, based on a post on a Terra forum by co-founder Kamil Ryszkowski asking for relief funding. He disclosed that a day before TerraUSD (UST) had lost its peg with the U.S. dollar, its users’ funds totaled over 47.6 million UST from 4,878 depositors. Currently, the price of UST is trading at $0.075, according to data from CoinGecko. A letter from class action law firm Erickson Kramer Osbourne (EKO) sent to Stablegains, dated May 14, demands a record of customer accounts, marketing materials and any co...

On May 17, United States Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell told the Wall Street Journal that the 50-basis-point rate hikes would continue until inflation is under control. Powell’s emphasis on a hawkish policy suggests that monetary conditions are likely to remain tight in 2022, which could limit the upside in risky assets. On-chain market intelligence firm Glassnode said that historically, Bitcoin (BTC) has bottomed out when the price breaks below the realized price. However, barring the 2019 to 2020 bear market, during previous bear cycles, Bitcoin’s price stayed below the realized price for anywhere between 114 to 299 days. This suggests that if macro situations are not favorable, a quick recovery is unlikely. Daily cryptocurrency market performance. Source: Coin360 While the curre...

Bitcoin (BTC) rebounded sharply after dropping near its realized price of $24,000 on May 12, suggesting some bulls went against the herd and bought the dip. According to on-chain analytics platform CryptoQuant, the exchange balances declined by more than 24,335 Bitcoin on May 11 and 12, indicating that bulls may have started bottom fishing. However, macro investor Raoul Pal is not confident that a bottom has been made. In an exclusive interview with Cointelegraph, Pal said that if equity markets witness a capitulation phase, crypto markets are also likely to plunge before forming a bottom. He anticipates the current bear phase to end after the United States Federal Reserve stops hiking rates. Daily cryptocurrency market performance.

Anchor Protocol rebounds sharply after falling 70% in just two months — what’s next for ANC?
Anchor Protocol (ANC) returned to its bullish form this May after plunging by over 70% in the previous two months. Pullback risks ahead ANC’s price rebounded by a little over 42.50% between May 1 and May 6, reaching $2.26, its highest level in three weeks. Nonetheless, the token experienced a selloff on May 6 and May 7 after ramming into what appears to be a resistance confluence. That consists of a 50-day exponential moving average (50-day EMA; the red wave) and 0.786 Fib line of the Fibonacci retracement graph, drawn from the $1.32-swing low to the $5.82-swing high, as shown in the chart below.

Price analysis 4/29: BTC, ETH, BNB, SOL, LUNA, XRP, ADA, DOGE, AVAX, DOT
The U.S. dollar index (DXY) turned down from its 20-year high on April 29 but that has not changed the bearish price action seen in Bitcoin (BTC) and the U.S. equity markets. Equities remain under pressure and this week, Amazon stock saw its biggest intraday drop since 2014 after uncertainty over the U.S. Federal Reserve’s tightening measures placed investor sentiment back into choppy waters. If Bitcoin extends its correction, on-chain analysis platform Whalemap believes that the $25,000 to $27,000 zone may be the best place “to go all-in” on Bitcoin. Long-term investors do not appear to be panicking over the current weakness in Bitcoin and on-chain data from CryptoQuant shows that the combined BTC reserves of 21 crypto exchanges has plummeted to levels not seen since September 2...
Institutional investment flows out of ETH and into competing L1 altcoins
Institutional investors have shifted their attention from Ethereum (ETH) to competing Layer 1 blockchains of late, with capital inflows for altcoin investment products increasing last week whilst Ether products posted outflows for the third week in a row. Data from CoinShares’ latest Digital Asset Fund Flows report shows that investors last week (ending April 22) loaded up on $3.5 million worth of Avalanche (AVAX), Solana (SOL), Terra (LUNA) and Algorand (ALGO) funds whilst capital outflows from Ether products totaled $16.9 million. It marks the third straight week that Ethereum products have seen outflows, bringing the total over that time to $59.3 million, equal to around 35% of the year-to-date outflows of $169 million from the second-largest blockchain. Notably, investors also favored ...
Price analysis 4/22: BTC, ETH, BNB, XRP, SOL, ADA, LUNA, AVAX, DOGE, DOT
Bitcoin (BTC) turned down sharply on April 21, maintaining its tight correlation with the U.S. equity markets, which reversed direction after U.S. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell hinted that a 50 basis point rate hike was “on the table” in May. The selling has continued on April 22 as investors trim risky assets in expectation of an aggressive stance from central banks to curb surging inflation. Veteran trader Peter Brandt said in a tweet recently that the Nasdaq 100 (NDX) was showing a formation similar to the one it had made before plunging in the year 2000. If history repeats itself then the NDX could witness a sharp correction. That may be negative for the crypto markets in the short term because of the close correlation between Bitcoin and the NDX.
