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.

US500 – Tech Is Falling Hard, But the S&P 500 Is Holding Up Better

The Nasdaq had its worst week of the year, down 4.6%, while the S&P 500 dropped just 2%. The gap tells a story: investors are not fleeing the market — they're repositioning. Tech money is moving into banks, industrials, and healthcare. The real question is whether that rotation can last, or whether tech's sheer size eventually pulls the whole index down with it.

The NASDAQ's Midyear Rally Is About to Begin

One of the market's strongest seasonal windows starts this week. Since 1985, the final three trading days of June and the first nine of July have delivered positive NASDAQ returns in 32 out of 41 years. Seasonality is never a guarantee, but after June's correction and shifting rate expectations, this year's setup may prove particularly compelling.
