Market picture

The cryptocurrency market lost another 7.7% to $900B over the past 24 hours, returning capitalisation to the area of September-October lows; at the peak of the decline, it was approaching the current market cycle lows set in June. Leading altcoins in the top 10 fell from 5.5% (BNB) to 22.9% (Dogecoin).

At its worst moment of market capitulation on Tuesday night, Bitcoin was down to $17.1K, renewing 2-year lows. Many potential long-term investors in cryptocurrencies are now trying to assess whether we saw a final surrender yesterday, followed by a reversal. So far, we have doubts that the most worrisome part is behind us.

BTC's sharp decline earlier in the day came amid an abrupt collapse in one of the largest crypto exchanges FTX's own FTT token, which now trades at $4.6, having lost over 80% from $25.6 on Saturday. And all this on high trading volumes.

Another victim of the latest crypto chaos was Solana coin, which had lost 55% since Saturday before the crypto market went wild.

News background

On Tuesday evening, it was reported that Binance had agreed to acquire cryptocurrency exchange FTX amid investor panic and a liquidity crisis at what was once the third-largest cryptocurrency exchange. The news failed to stem capital outflows, and the cryptocurrency sell-off continued, albeit calmer.

Despite some resolution, the news did not trigger a market recovery. Some experts say what has happened threatens the crypto market with significant disruption.

Other observers point out that the collapse of the crypto market occurred on the day of the US congressional elections, which could have triggered selling in an environment of uncertainty, which is always bad for risky assets such as cryptocurrencies.

GBP/JPY (4H): Bulls may be ready for another push higher

GBP/JPY has been trapped within a neutral structure since the sharp decline from 216.58 in late April. Although the pair failed to register a fresh higher high above the key resistance trendline at 215.32 last week, the bulls may get another chance after successfully defending support around the 50-EMA at 214.60 and the 23.6% Fibonacci.

Gold – The war ended, so why is gold going up?

The Iran peace deal should have sent gold lower—fear fading usually does. Instead, gold climbed for a third straight day to $4,319. Three new forces stepped in: a falling dollar, cheaper oil calming inflation worries, and institutional money flowing back. Wednesday's Fed decision under new chair Kevin Warsh will reveal whether this bounce has legs or if gold gives it all back just as fast.
