  • Crypto transactions of any amount may soon need KYC in Europe
  • Exchanges make moves to survive liquidations
  • Grayscale pushes back against SEC’s spot ETF rejection
  • Compass Mining CEO and CFO resign amid allegations

New pricing model for Quadency Bots

This week, we rolled out our new fair pricing model as the next phase in the evolution of Quadency. Bot fees are now linked to trading volume and traders can deposit USDC and/or QUAD into their Quadency account, depending on their region.

  • Fair, “pay as you trade” pricing
  • No more monthly subscriptions!
  • Manual trading on connected exchanges are still 100% free
  • Fees are not applied to bots you already have in place

Bitcoin Pulse


Sadly, this week saw the kind of record we’d rather not acknowledge: the lowest monthly candle ever in Bitcoin’s history, down almost 40%. BTC dipped below $19k mid week but gave a little pump on Thursday evening, ending the week up 1.2%. $2 billion more in Bitcoin left exchanges this week, as diamond handers reached peak uncertainty relating to centralized exchanges and pending regulations.

Technical Analysis:

Short-term BTC:

BITCOIN-Short-Term
2 Hour Bitcoin Chart


Since the recent June 30th BTC price movement, we can start noticing the price moving in a pattern similar to a symmetrical triangle. This triangle may be the movement for the next two weeks, but keep an eye out for the breakout - it can go both ways.

Long-term BTC:

BITCOIN-Long-Term
1 Week Bitcoin Chart


On the macro, Bitcoin is in a rare position. After this week's sell-off, June has officially closed with a record-breaking lowest-ever monthly RSI. Meanwhile, support seems to be hovering around the 2017 ATH, give or take a few percentages.

Altcoins on the Move

Ethereum (ETH) addresses with .01 ETH or more reached an ATH of 23.3 million, while 11.5% of Ethereum’s total supply is now stored in ETH 2.0, worth over $25 billion. 32% of that ETH is staked by Lido, the largest ETH 2.0 staking pool, causing some concern in the Ethereum community.

In other altcoins:

  • Tether (USDT) saw its biggest token burn ever.
  • Optimism’s (OP) TVL doubled
  • CEL price continued to soar despite frozen withdrawals and the platform exploring bankruptcy options.

Technical Analysis

BITCOIN-Short-Term
1 Day Solana Chart


Solana is in an ascending triangle, which is a bullish pattern. The ascending triangle, with the current price at support with decreasing volume, may lead to some exciting price movement. Because as we see accumulation increase, the price has a good probability of moving upwards. If this is the case and scenario, it may be time to pull out the "Market Maker" bot.
