- Crypto markets are trading 1.4% lower over the past day - BTC and ETH continue their retracements since the weekend at $23.7k (-1.7%) and $1.88k (-1.6%). Traditional markets have also opened lower, with NDAQ and SPX trading at 0.9% and 0.13% lower, respectively. Memecoins DOGE and SHIB have been the top gainers over the past week, trading 21.2% and 28.0% higher, respectively. Their price appreciation can be attributed to the launch of Dogechain, an EVM-compatible network that counts DOGE as its Layer-1 token. At this point, Dogechain doesn't have a native stablecoin or a functional bridge back to Mainnet yet, allowing users only to take profits into DOGE.
- According to new court filings provided by Kirkland & Ellis, crypto lender Celsius may deplete its cash reserves as soon as October. The insolvent firm owes depositors ~$2.8b more than the assets it currently holds, significantly more than the ~$1.2b initially reported. The gap comprises net liabilities in ~$2b BTC, ~$1b ETH, ~$666m USDC, and ~$625m other coins, along with net assets in ~$554m $wBTC, $683m $stETH, and $438m CEL. However, the net asset position for CEL is likely overstated since most of the token is held on the Celsius platform itself and is thinly traded. Celsius' operating expenses for August through October that total up to ~$85m are a major contributor to its depletion of cash, which stands at ~130m.
- Last weekend, Acala's native stablecoin, aUSD, de-pegged to the downside after a "misconfiguration" of the newly-launched iBTC/aUSD pool allowed hackers to mint ~1.3b aUSD tokens and drained the pool. After rectifying the bug yesterday, Acala resumed network trades and burnt the additional tokens minted by exploiters. Doing so pushed the peg back to near parity with the US dollar, currently at $0.92 at the time of writing. While it is easy to categorize this de-pegging event as another failed stablecoin experiment, aUSD isn't an algorithmic stablecoin. Instead, it is collateralized by multiple assets, including DOT, KSM, ACA, and others, making it more similar to DAI than LUNA's failed UST.

Following three straight days of minor consolidation, Ethereum has pulled back to an excellent area of trendline support that should bode well for dip-buying ahead of a push back higher to new monthly highs. Daily charts of ETHUSD show this acceleration higher over the last month with prices having begun a sharp uptrend of higher highs and higher lows. Upside targets look likely to materialize near $2231 initially, with an outsized shot of $2549 into early September before consolidation follows post ETH's transition to Proof of Stake. Upside targets line up with a 50 and 61.8% Fibonacci retracement target of the prior decline along with lining up right near former lows from earlier this year. DeMark counter-trend indicators like TD Sequential look to be two weeks from registering a possible TD Sell Setup on this rally, which also lines up with an early September initial peak for ETHUSD. Overall, it looks right to buy this pullback between 1800-1900, expecting a continuation of this rally ahead of the upcoming "Merge". | |
