Published at: June 7, 2022

“The Market Report” with Cointelegraph is live right now. On this week’s show, Cointelegraph’s resident experts give you the details about Ethereum 2.0, its main competitors, and how they differ from each other.

To kick things off, we break down the latest news in the markets this week. Here’s what to expect in this week’s markets news breakdown:

Bitcoin ‘Bart Simpson’ returns as BTC price dives 7% in hours: Bitcoin (BTC) price action failed to crack $32,000 and headed back to square one, sparking $60 million of long liquidations in the process. How much longer will we stay in the current price range? What is it going to take for Bitcoin to break out from here?

Bad day for Binance with SEC investigation and Reuters exposé: The United States Securities and Exchange Commission is reportedly suspicious that Binance, the world’s largest crypto exchange, sold unlicensed securities via its BNB initial coin offering, and the news agency Reuters has tallied up some old cases. What will it mean for BNB if the SEC decides to pursue a case against Binance? Will it impact the trust people have in the exchange?

Next up is a new segment called “Quick Crypto Tips,” which aims to give newcomers to the crypto industry quick and easy tips to get the most out of their experience. This week’s tip: Beware of pump-and-dump schemes.

Next, market expert Marcel Pechman carefully examines the Bitcoin and Ether (ETH) markets. Are the current market conditions bullish or bearish? What is the outlook for the next few months? Pechman is here to break it down. The experts also go over some markets news to bring you up to date on the latest regarding the top two cryptocurrencies.

After Marcel’s market analysis, our resident experts discuss Eth2 — now simply referred to as the “consensus layer” by the Ethereum Foundation — and how it will differ from its previous iteration. They take a deep dive into why it’s important and the problems it hopes to solve. They also compare it to its closest rivals, dubbed “Ethereum killers,” to see if they actually have the potential to replace Ethereum. This segment is packed full of helpful information, so be sure to stick around.

Lastly, we’ve got insights from Cointelegraph Markets Pro, a platform for crypto traders who want to stay one step ahead of the market. The analysts use Cointelegraph Markets Pro to identify two altcoins that stood out this week: VITE and Autofarm's AUTO.

Bitcoin (BTC) and the US equity markets are facing selling on Feb. 16 as traders seem to be trimming positions in assets perceived to be risky on the accusation by NATO that Russia continues to build troops near the Ukrainian border. This is contrary to claims by Moscow that Russian troops are returning to their permanent deployments after completion of the exercise. This geopolitical uncertainty could result in increased volatility in the near term. However, the longer-term fundamentals continue to strengthen.

Bitcoin (BTC) and several altcoins surprised with their newfound strength during the weekend. Bitcoin’s rally easily sliced through the $45,900 level, which according to Glassnode was an area of resistance because several investors had purchased near that level when Bitcoin was declining after hitting its all-time high in November. Bitcoin’s strength may have attracted buying in several altcoins, which are still languishing below their 52-week high. The rally in Bitcoin and the bottom fishing in altcoins has boosted investor sentiment, pushing the Crypto Fear and Greed Index into the “greed” territory. Interestingly, the crypto markets have held a large part …

The U.S. dollar currency index (DXY) turned down sharply after rising above 101 on April 20 but this weakness in the dollar has not helped Bitcoin (BTC), possibly because the S&P 500 is struggling to build upon its strong rally on April 19. This indicates that Bitcoin remains tightly correlated with the U.S. equity markets. Irrespective of the lackluster price action, research projects several positives for Bitcoin this year. A report by Insider Intelligence shows that the number of adult crypto users in the U.S. could surge from 28.3 million in 2021 to 33.7 million in 2022. Along with the …

The U.S. dollar index (DXY) has risen above the highs created in March 2020 and may next challenge the multi-year highs set in January 2017. Bitcoin’s (BTC) price action is generally inversely connected to DXY. Therefore, unless the dollar reverses its sharp uptrend, a strong recovery in Bitcoin may be difficult. Although Bitcoin has not confirmed a bottom, institutional investors seem to have started their purchases at lower levels. Canada’s Purpose Bitcoin exchange-traded fund added 1,132 BTC to its holdings, according to data analytics platform Coinglass. Behavior analytics resource Santiment also suggested that the crowd’s interest in buying the dip …

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 …
