Crypto Market Daily Highlights – BNB and XRP Hit Reverse
By:
It was a bearish end to the week for the crypto market as investor focus shifted to US inflation and retail sales figures in the week ahead.
Key Insights:
- It was a bearish end of the week for the crypto top ten, with XRP leading the way down.
- Following a relatively range-bound Saturday, market uncertainty weighed ahead of several key economic indicators due this week.
- The total crypto market cap slid by $29 billion to record the third decline in nine sessions.
It was a bearish Sunday session for the crypto top ten. Bitcoin (BTC) fell for a third consecutive day, with XRP leading the way down.
Following the Fed meeting minutes and US nonfarm payrolls, the market focus shifts to US inflation figures this week.
With the numbers due out on Wednesday, another spike could reignite fears of a 75 basis point Fed rate hike and a US recession.
Last week, the FOMC meeting minutes highlighted member concerns over the possible impact of rate hikes on the US economy. The uncertainty over Fed monetary policy and the economic outlook likely contributed to some profit-taking.
Through the early part of this week, we expect the crypto market to take its cues from the NASDAQ 100, with no decoupling likely near term.
At the time of writing, the NASDAQ 100 Mini was down by 38 points.
The Total Crypto Market Cap Revisits Sub-$900bn
The bearish Sunday session saw the crypto market cap fall from a high of $935.7 billion to a low of $895.8 billion.
While late support limited the damage, the total market cap slid by $28.9 billion to $905.2 billion.
The Sunday pullback left the market cap up by $54 billion for the week ending July 10.
The Crypto Market Movers and Shakers from the Top Ten and Beyond
XRP slid by 5.66%, with ETH seeing a 4.04% loss.
ADA (-3.35%), BNB (-3.62%), BTC (-3.41%), DOGE (-3.18%), , and SOL (-3.53%) also saw heavy losses.
From the CoinMarketCap top 100, TerraClassicUSD (USTC) led the way, rising by 4.04%.
IOTA ( MIOTA), Monero (XMR), Amp (AMP), Chiliz (CHZ), and Tezos (XTZ) also bucked the broader market trend.
Leading the way down, however, was Internet Computer (ICP) and THORChain (RUNE), which slid by 8.7% and 8.9%, respectively.
