Amazon Partners with Ava Labs, SEC Investigates Genesis and Gemini over Earn, and More!
Positive signals continue in crypto’s second all-positive week with the largest short squeeze in months. Bitcoin increased by 21% week-over-week and broke the 200-day moving average (SMA) threshold for the first time in 381 days. In the last bear market it took Bitcoin 386 days to trade above its 200-day SMA. Ethereum soared by 18% over the past week. Outliers of last week’s rally were Solana, Optimism, and Curve. Solana, which has increased by a whopping 46%, seems to be still enjoying the hype created by the meme token called BONK. Optimism stood out within major scalability solutions, soaring by 41%, which can be attributed to a surge in transaction volume that could have been made on the back of announcing the Shanghai testnet to be slated to take place next month. Finally, in DeFi, Curve was the first runner-up with a weekly performance of 33%.

Over the past week, we have seen the largest short squeeze in months of over $1 billion liquidated on Binance, OKX, and Bybit. This dynamic is an indication that there were more funds betting against Bitcoin and the recent positive rally disappointed their positions. The recent price action is simply a regression to the mean. We are back to levels where we were post the LUNA debacle and pre-FTX. In other words, as an industry we are better off without FTX and Alameda. However, it is important to note that this rally may not be long lasting as we may face mispriced headwinds. The silver lining is

The chart above measures the market sentiment of Ethereum, dividing its market cap by the 90-day moving average of daily transaction volume. NVTS signal closed at almost 87 on Monday, increasing by 14% week-over-week.
