  • A small weekend rally is being sold off during US market hours, as the global crypto market is now trading 2.3% lower over the prior 24 hours as bitcoin and ether trade 2.3% and 2.7% lower, respectively. Other popular layer 1 names including AVAX (-3.9%), SOL (-4.2%), and DOT (-2.3%) are all trading incrementally lower as well. This week, the market has its sights set on a pair of key macro headlines, including Fed Chair Jay Powell's planned talk at the ECB Forum on Wednesday and the US PCE inflation print on Thursday. Crypto investors will also be tuned in for any SEC commentary on Bitwise's spot bitcoin ETF application, for which the deadline for approval is Friday. We do not anticipate approval, but we may receive interesting commentary on the matter. The decision on Grayscale's application to convert its bitcoin trust (GBTC) to an ETF is due next Wednesday.
  • On Friday, it was announced that Goldman Sachs is looking to broker a sale of Celsius' distressed assets. According to people familiar with the matter, GS is in the process of raising $2 billion from investors, gauging interest from both crypto-native and traditional financial institutions. The deal is supposedly structured so inventors would acquire the beleaguered crypto lender's cryptoassets at a considerable discount. It is still unclear whether Celsius, which raised $750 million from investors just last year, will declare bankruptcy. This deal is not for Celsius equity but the cryptoassets under management. Representatives from GS clarified that the leading investment bank would not maintain any principal exposure to the cryptoassets and merely act as a broker in the deal.

  • Reports are surfacing that hedge funds are increasingly looking to short leading stablecoin Tether (USDT) as a bet against the assets backing the dollar-pegged token. Genesis conveyed that since the implosion of algo-backed stablecoin UST, many investors are looking to capitalize on a similar unwind of USDT. To remind everyone, UST is much different than USDT, the latter of which is 100% collateralized with a mix of assets that include cash and cash-like items. Tether CTO Paulo Ardoino took to Twitter this morning to dispel any fears surrounding the Tether business. While we appreciate the skepticism surrounding the historically opaque company, Tether has been able to redeem $16 billion in USDT over the past month without a hiccup, and it is actively and swiftly reducing its exposure to commercial paper. We continue to keep a close eye on the situation, but based on several factors, we think the redemption risk on USDT is likely overstated in these highly publicized reports.
Daily Technical Strategy - Mark Newton, CMT

Following nearly a 40% bounce since 6/18, Monero seems to have arrived at its first meaningful area of upside resistance. XMRUSD made three different lows near $135 since January of this year before breaking down to under $100 into mid-June. Technically speaking, its snapback now faces resistance near the same area where this broke down, as former support now becomes formidable upside resistance. To have confidence this rally can extend, XMR will need to surpass $135, ideally on a weekly close. Until that time, the path of least resistance remains lower, and it's expected that XMR should weaken back to test mid-June lows over the next 1-2 weeks. That low lies at $96.77, and will be important to hold to have any confidence that this could be trying to stabilize. Additional support targets under $96.77 are found near $76 and thought to be an excellent area of risk-reward support to buy dips.
