Market Overview
BTC dropped to a low of $53,485, breaking the previous low of $56,552 and confirming the new low trend mentioned yesterday. The current support is around $52,000.
BTC has to hold above $58,000 to mitigate the risk of continued decline. If BTC fails to stabilize above $58,000, it cannot be concluded that the adjustment from $71,997 is over. The market will start its next major upward wave only after the current adjustment concludes.
Market Volatility as Mt.Gox Moves BTC
On July 5th, Mt. Gox's address transferred 47,228 BTC, intensifying market volatility. This, combined with the German government's Bitcoin sales and US BTC ETF outflows, led to a continued decline in BTC prices.
However, the rising USDT OTC premium suggests BTC may rebound once these impacts are absorbed.
GIGA surged against the bearish trend
GIGA is a memecoin on the Solana chain, featuring Russian bodybuilder Ernest Khalimov, known as "Gigachad" for his perfect physique and jawline.
The GIGA token has recorded a market cap of $69.55 million, on-chain liquidity of $1.33 million, and a price surge of over 8% in the past 24 hours.
FTN surged against the bearish trend
FTN is the official token of the Fastex ecosystem, developed by tech giant SoftConstruct. Leveraging SoftConstruct's extensive network, over 1 million active users, and 700 global partners, FTN has numerous real-world applications, including business settlements, gaming, transactions on over 100 websites, and paying gas fees on the Bahamut blockchain.
Since its launch in January 2023, FTN's value has increased more than five-fold, ranking 89th with its current market cap of $728 million.
Symbiotic reached a new staking limit
Symbiotic, a competitor to EigenLayer, has reached a staking limit of 210,000 wstETH, bringing its total locked value to $940 million. In January 2024, Symbiotic raised $5.8 million from a seed round led by Paradigm and Cyber Fund.
Symbiotic aims to provide a permissionless restaking protocol, enabling decentralized networks to coordinate node operators and economic security providers more efficiently. This solution offers greater flexibility, permissionless access, and reliability, compared to EigenLayer.
