Crypto market rebounds from its worst oversold conditions since 2020

Market overview

The crypto market capitalisation has risen by 1.3% over the past 24 hours to $2.18 trillion. With no fresh downward momentum, bears are taking profits, while some investors view the situation as a good opportunity for long-term positions. On daily timeframes, the RSI is recovering and entering neutral territory after the most severe oversold conditions since 2020. Among the top-performing coins of the day were BAT (+13%), NEAR (+7%) and ZEC (+6.5%). The underperformers were BCH (-6.1%), TRX (-0.6%) and UNI (+0.2%).

Bitcoin rebounded to $63.2K, moving away from Friday’s lows of $59K. Technically, a recovery up to $68K could be viewed as a rebound from the downward momentum seen between 11 May and 5 June. On the other hand, a sustained rebound over this period would confirm a bounce off the 200-week moving average and bring the leading cryptocurrency out of oversold territory, which would be a different narrative altogether. It is quite possible that this situation will be a very close analogy to 2020, when a couple of months of recovery from the last slump were followed by four months of sideways movement and a subsequent boom.

News background

Bitcoin is experiencing its first-ever drop in hash rate due to economic reasons, Elektron Energy notes. From its record high in September 2025, the network’s computing power has fallen by approximately 25%.

A ‘changing of the guard’ has occurred in the crypto market, with the leaders of key segments giving way to a new generation of participants. The main areas of development will be decentralised finance (DeFi), the tokenisation of real-world assets (RWA) and stablecoins, while blockchain systems will interact more closely with AI, Bitwise predicts.

By selling shares, Strategy purchased an additional 1,550 BTC last week for $101.3 million at an average price of $65.3K per coin. A week earlier, the company sold 32 BTC for the first time since 2022. Strategy now holds 845,256 BTC, purchased for $64 billion at an average price of $75.7K per Bitcoin.

Over the past week, BitMine increased its reserves by 126,971 ETH, marking its largest purchase since the start of the year. BitMine’s reserves exceeded 5.54 million ETH, accounting for 4.59% of the Ethereum supply. The company has stepped up its purchases of the altcoin following its price decline.

Tether’s USDT stablecoin briefly overtook Ethereum to take second place by market capitalisation, notes JAN3 founder Samson Mow. Bloomberg strategist Mike McGlone expects USDT could even overtake Bitcoin in terms of capitalisation should Bitcoin experience a sharp decline.

Summary: The crypto market is rebounding after severe oversold conditions: market capitalisation has risen to $2.18T, BTC has recovered to $63.2K, and the market is seeking support for a potential continuation of the rally.

USD/JPY stays below 160.50 as markets assess BoJ decision

USD/JPY fluctuates in a relatively narrow range above 160.00 on Tuesday as markets assess the Bank of Japan's (BoJ) decision to raise the policy rate by 25 at the June meeting. Meanwhile, investors keep a close eye on news coming out of the Middle East, while preparing for the critical Fed meeting.

AUD/USD struggles for direction, still below 0.7100

AUD/USD looks to extend Monday’s recovery, although a challenge to the 0.7100 barrier remains elusive ahead of the opening bell in Asia. The Aussie Dollar was unable to take advantage of the RBA's relatively cautious message, which included keeping its OCR unchanged at 4.35% and leaving the possibility of further tightening in the future.

Gold: $4,000 or $4,500? The Fed may decide Gold’s next big move

Gold now surrenders part of its initial advance and recedes to the vicinity of the $4,350 mark per troy ounce on Tuesday. The early enthusiasm sparked by the US-Iran peace deal has faded somewhat, prompting investors to adopt a more prudent stance as they await further details of the agreement and key guidance from the Fed.

XRP pulls back as subdued ETF inflows, layered resistance cap upside

Ripple (XRP) remains elevated above $1.23 at the time of writing on Tuesday, struggling amid a capped upside. Despite an improved overall market sentiment driven by news of a peace agreement between the United States and Iran to end the war in the Middle East, capital inflows remain notably subdued.

1% rate, 160 Yen: Why Japan’s historic hike changed little

The Bank of Japan (BoJ) pushed its short-term policy rate to 1% on Tuesday, the highest setting since 1995 and a 31-year milestone in a normalization cycle barely two years old. It is the kind of number that should mark a turning point for the Yen, and it did almost nothing.

Why a hawkish RBA is no longer enough to lift the Australian Dollar

The Reserve Bank of Australia delivered more than what markets expected: a hawkish hold that should have supported the Aussie. But markets widely ignored it, focusing instead on slowing economic growth and proving that central bank messaging alone isn’t always enough to drive currencies.
