Markets
The entire market value of all crypto assets has moved in a range from $1.87 trillion to $2.05 trillion over the past week and as of this writing sits slightly above the $2.04 trillion mark, near the top of the range.
BTC-USD has gained around 2% over the last seven days with its performance being mostly range bound between $44K to $48K. Resistance at $48K held even after multiple attempts to breach earlier in the week. The $44K support was tested yesterday after the US Fed signaled tapering later this year, but the price has since recovered and is currently moving around the $47K level. Today is options expiration day, so volatility would not be unexpected.
ETH-USD fell approximately 1% during the past week. The pair fell below the important $3K level on Wednesday, but buyers offered strong support at $2,950 and it has since broken above the $3K level and is currently sitting around $3,200.
High Flyers
AVAX-USD (Avalanche) gained a massive 101% over the past week and is currently sitting around $36. It was buoyed by the smart contract platform’s announcement of a $180M liquidity mining incentive program, named Avalanche Rush. The price hasn’t been at these levels since May so it will be interesting to see if the bullish price action continues.
SOL-USD (Solana) had a weekly gain of approximately 60% and even hit a new all time high at $79, but is currently sitting around $71 after consolidating its earlier gains. The move was partially due to rising NFT and DeFi usage on the high-volume network, including the launch of Degenerate Ape Academy, a hub for NFTs. The positive momentum was also helped by the news that Solana’s TVL (Total Value Locked) recorded a new all-time high at $1.93B. The bullish price action even moved Solana into the #10 position on CoinMarketCap.
LUNA-USD (Terra) rallied around 68% on the week. It surpassed Polygon to get the third spot for most TVL at $6.21B, after Ethereum and Binance Smart Chain. Interest around Terra has been growing due to the upcoming network upgrade, “Columbus-5.” Following the upgrade, a myriad of new projects will go live on the network. The rally was also helped by the fact that $185M worth of LUNA had been burned in the past month.
