Market Breadth Widens as Inflows Continue, Eyeing Tomorrow's ETF Approval Window
Market Breadth Expanding
The crypto market is exhibiting signs of increased breadth, particularly noticeable as altcoins, typically further out on the risk curve, begin to attract more interest. As illustrated in the data below, the total market cap for altcoins (including stablecoins) is advancing towards its previous year-to-date high.
ETH has not yet seen a substantial rally, but it appears to have established a potential near-term bottom against BTC. This stabilization is crucial for encouraging capital flow into assets within the Ethereum ecosystem.
Liquidity dispersion across the crypto market into assets beyond BTC and ETH often signals a time to be vigilant of potential downside risks. This dispersion typically leads to thinner liquidity for larger-cap assets, unless accompanied by continued capital inflows.
The following charts suggest that the market's breadth is widening. However, this expansion is occurring more rapidly against USD than BTC. Further, when combined with the ongoing data showing continued positive flows, the current rally still seems fundamentally healthy and worth buying into.
ByteTree, a crypto data provider, offers a breadth score ranging from 0 to 5 — with 5 indicating the strongest momentum — across various metrics for t...Reports you may have missed

We discussed the risks appearing in the metrics we use to gauge sentiment and flows. The overall lack of follow-through in the crypto market was evident. Volumes, net ETP flows, the Coinbase discount, stablecoin market cap trend, and search interest for key...
OVERALL, IT WAS A GOOD CPI/FOMC DAY As any market observer knows by now, CPI came in remarkably cool yesterday. May CPI data was soft across the board, with headline inflation at 0.0% M/M vs. 0.1% expected and core inflation at 0.2% M/M vs. 0.3% expected. The unexpected data fueled a violent rally across all risk assets as rates fell, and the futures market started to price in additional cuts,...
STX Remains Compelling Beta Exposure, Miners to Outperform in Lower Rate Environment
RATE EXPECTATIONS MOVING LOWER Last week, we discussed how rate expectations were a barrier to crypto moving higher and that we anticipate continued non-recessionary but soft economic data will help spur flows. Fast forward to this week, and we have seen a cool manufacturing PMI, a soft JOLTS report, and a services PMI in which the price component was below market expectations. The remaining important data for this week includes...
