Crypto Market Daily Highlights – DOGE and ETH Led a Bullish Top Ten

Key Insights:

• It was a bullish end to the week for the crypto top ten, with DOGE and ETH leading the way.
• Dip buyers delivered much-needed support as investors monitor recent regulator chatter and look toward this week’s US economic indicators.
• The crypto market cap rose by $12.3 billion to end the week at $814.6 billion.

It was a bullish Sunday session for the crypto top ten. DOGE and ETH led the way, with BTC wrapping up the day at $17,000. Notably, BTC ended the day at $17,000 for the third time in five sessions.

There were no crypto events to provide market support on Sunday. Dip buyers likely jumped in following Saturday’s reversal. FTX contagion risk continues to subside while regulatory risk remains a crypto headwind.

Today, US economic indicators will influence the NASDAQ Composite Index and the crypto market. For the crypto market, updates from FTX debtors will need monitoring. Hopes of creditors avoiding material losses have delivered market support at current levels.

US economic indicators include factory orders and the all-important ISM Non-Manufacturing PMI. Following the crypto market sensitivity to last week’s ISM Manufacturing PMI, we expect more influence from the Non-Manufacturing PMI. Weak numbers may support a less hawkish Fed but would also fuel fears of a US economic recession.

This morning, the NASDAQ mini was down 14.25 points.
