This week the stock markets began to flash a little green, and Bitcoin (BTC) is decoupling from traditional markets — but not in a good way. The cryptocurrency is down 3%, while the Nasdaq Composite tech-heavy stock market index is up 3.1%. May 27 data from the United States Commerce Department shows that the personal savings rate fell to 4.4% in April to reach the lowest level since 2008, Meanwhile, crypto traders are worried that worsening global macroeconomic conditions could add to investors’ aversion to risky assets.

A massive downtrend in the STEPN (GMT) prices witnessed in the last 30 days appears to be nearing exhaustion. GMT’s price has rebounded by nearly 35% — from $0.80 on May 27 to $0.99 on May 28. Interestingly, the upside retracement started after the price fell in the same range, which had acted as support before GMT’s 500% and 120% price rallies in March and early May, respectively. Additionally, the rebound further preceded an 80% drop from its record high of $4.50, established on April 27, which left GMT oversold, according to its daily relative strength index reading that slipped …

Buying low and selling high is easier said than done, especially when emotion and volatile markets are thrown into the mix. Historically speaking, the best deals are to be found when there is “blood on the streets,” but the danger of catching a falling knife usually keeps most investors planted on the sidelines. The month of May has been especially challenging for crypto holders because Bitcoin (BTC) dropped to a low of $26,782, and some analysts are now predicting a sub-$20,000 BTC price in the near future. It’s times like these when fear is running rampant that the contrarian investor …

Every Bitcoin investor is searching for signals that the market is approaching a bottom, but the price action of this week suggests that we're just not there yet. Evidence of this can be found by looking at the monthly return for Bitcoin (BTC), which was hit with a rapid decline that “translated to one of the biggest drawdowns in monthly returns for the asset class in its history,” according to the most recent Blockware Solutions Market Intelligence Newsletter. Bitcoin continues to trade within an increasingly narrow trading range that is slowly being compressed to the downside as global economic strains …

Bitcoin (BTC) is regaining its lost crypto market dominance even as it trades nearly 60% below its record highs. Bitcoin dominance at 6-month highs The Bitcoin Market Dominance (BTC.D) index, a metric that weighs BTC's market capitalization against the rest of the cryptocurrency market, jumped to around 47% on May 27, its highest since October 2021. The dominance index swelled despite the drop in Bitcoin's market cap in the last six months from $1.3 trillion in November 2021 to nearly $550 billion in May 2022, suggesting that traders were more comfortable selling altcoins. Let's look at three likely reasons why …

Solana (SOL) dropped on May 26, continuing its decline from the previous day amid a broader retreat across the crypto market. SOL price pennant breakdown underway SOL price fell by over 13% to around $41.60, its lowest level in almost two weeks. Notably, the SOL/USD pair also broke out of what appears to be like a "bear pennant," a classic technical pattern whose occurrences typically precede additional downside moves in a market. In detail, bear pennants appear when the price trades inside a range defined by a falling trendline resistance and rising trendline support. These patterns resolve after the price …

The United States dollar index (DXY) retreated broadly from its prevailing bull run in the past two weeks, dropping by up to 3.20% after hitting its two-decade high of 105. Overvaluation risks grip dollar market The U.S. dollar’s correction in the last two weeks preceded twelve months of relentless buying. To recap, the greenback’s weight against the basket of top foreign currencies grew by around 14.3% in a year, primarily as markets looked for safe havens against the fears of a hawkish Federal Reserve and, more recently, the military conflict between Ukraine and Russia. Cash balances among the global fund …

Bitcoin (BTC) price has been unable to close above $32,000 for the past fifteen days and is currently down 37% year-to-date. Although that might seem excessive, it does not stand out among some of the largest U.S.-listed tech companies that have also sustained notable losses recently. In this same 15-day period, Shopify Inc. (SHOP) stock dropped 76%, Snap Inc. (SNAP) crashed 73%, Netflix (NFLX) is down 70% and Cloudflare (NET) presented a negative 62% performance. Cryptocurrency investors should be less concerned about the current "bear market" considering Bitcoin's 79% annualized volatility. However, that is clearly not the case, because Bitcoin's …

Bitcoin (BTC) is predicted to drop more than 70% to the $8,000 value area, according to comments by Guggenheim chief investment officer Scott Minerd. This is not the first time he has made a bearish call, and he has, in the past, made bullish calls as well. However, Minerd’s more recent calls have occurred just before major reversals. Scott Minerd BTC price calls: - $600k at $60k → went to $30k. - $10k at $30k → price to $65k. - $8k at $30k (again) → TBD. pic.twitter.com/NWjrRdegFM — mhonkasalo (@mhonkasalo) May 23, 2022 It should be noted that Mr. Minerd, …

Bitcoin (BTC) has fallen by over 67% in 2022 and is now wobbling between a tight trading range defined by $28,000 as interim support and $30,500 as interim resistance. The selloff appears in the wake of the Federal Reserve's hawkish policy and the uncertainties in the crypto market led by Terra (LUNA), an algorithmic stablecoin project whose native token LUNA fell by 99% earlier in the month. Nonetheless, Bitcoin's decline has somewhat cooled down as May draws to a close, leaving speculators with the hope that the token is in the process of bottoming out. Something like this might play …

As economic conditions continue to worsen, financial experts worldwide are increasingly placing the blame at the feet of the United States Federal Reserve after the central bank was slow to respond to rising inflation early on. Financial markets are currently experiencing their worst stretch of losses in recent history, and it doesn’t appear that there is any relief in sight. May 24 saw the tech-heavy Nasdaq fall another 2%, while Snap, a popular social media company, shed 43.1% of its market cap in trading on May 23. This past couple of months have been absolutely brutal for the markets… 8 …

Ether’s (ETH) 12-hour closing price has been respecting a tight $1,910 to $2,150 range for twelve days, but oddly enough, these 13% oscillations have been enough to liquidate an aggregate of $495 million in futures contracts since May 13, according to data from Coinglass. The worsening market conditions were also reflected in digital asset investment products. According to the latest edition of CoinShare's weekly Digital Asset Fund Flows report, crypto funds and investment products saw a $141 million outflow during the week ending on May 20. In this instance, Bitcoin (BTC) was the investors' focus after experiencing a $154 weekly …
