Bitcoin Stabilizes as NFT Tokens Surge and DeFi Rallies

NFT-New York helped ease crypto markets into a relief surge this week as big brands piled in and NFT coins surged. Meanwhile, crypto contagion was still in its painful “filter by liquidation” stage as DeFi attempted to self-regulate.

  • Solend reversed stance to help pay a whale’s debt
  • 3AC hedge fund faced with must-pay deadline
  • NFT New York trended and NFT tokens surged
  • GameStop-style short squeeze targeted Celsius short sellers
  • DeFi tokens finally lifted despite continued liquidations

Bitcoin Pulse


Bitcoin (BTC) leveled out after weeks of destruction, up 3.5% over the last 7 days.

  • BTC’s Relative Strength Index (RSI) appears to have bottomed and began climbing.
  • The Bollinger Bands indicator showed a marked tightening as volatility ebbed.
  • Bitcoin spent the last half of the week ranging near the $20.6k support area.

2-hour Bitcoin TA

On the 2-hour BTC chart, we see that the drop and bounce back from the 17th to 19th of June formed a head for the reverse head and shoulder pattern. We confirmed the second shoulder on the 24th of June. A break in the neckline could lead to a short-term bull scenario, but keep an eye out for the “fake out” as the RSI is moving into overbought territory.

1-week Bitcoin TA

On the 1W BTC chart, we adjusted the Y-axis to a logarithmic scale. When we did that, we noticed a channel that formed in mid-2018 until today. Two weeks ago the price moved out of the channel. Keep an eye out for the next week to see if a new resistance will be forming underneath this channel.

Altcoins on the Move


Finally, we saw some green relief after weeks of wretched markets. Many of crypto’s top 100 alts saw double-digit gains this week while Layer-1s like Ethereum and Cardano moved more modestly.

  • Uniswap (UNI) rocketed by 50% on news they had topped Ethereum in daily fees.
  • Tether (USDT) doubled down on its stablecoin dominance and announced it would issue a new Silver-backed stablecoin, $GBPT.
  • Dogecoin (DOGE) saw a 17% rise midweek after Elon Musk reiterated his support of DOGE, citing it was what his customers want.

Altcoin TA

This week has shown to be a strong week for some altcoins with double-digit gains. On the Ape Coin chart, we see that there is a channel that has formed since Mid-May. The price has been pushing the upper band of the channel for the last week and may possibly break out. If a breakout continues, keep an eye out on volume.
