Polygon’s MATIC price could even fool top-tier traders, here’s why

MATIC price has fallen in nearly a straight shot since January’s all-time high at $2.92. The bulls were likely expecting a countertrend rally to ensue by now as the scaling-solution token has fallen below the breached parallel trend channel.

Cardano price will reward those who wait; this scenario must play out first

Cardano price is still too early to call, a dollar-cost averaging approach could succumb to substantial losses in the short term. Cardano price shows bearish signals, which may steer investors away from dollar-cost averaging the self-proclaimed Ethereum Killer Smart Contract token.

XRP approaches key support as risk-off sentiment deepens

Ripple (XRP) is trading at $1.06 on Monday, maintaining its position within a broader bearish trend. The token’s technical outlook continues to deteriorate, pressured by declining retail participation. Appetite for risk assets remains lethargic, as reflected in the Fear & Greed Index, which is embedded in the Fear territory at 28.

Crypto Today: Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP extend decline amid renewed risk-averse sentiment

The cryptocurrency market remains weak on Monday, with Bitcoin (BTC) falling toward the nearest $62,000.

Risk appetite remains subdued, as the Fear & Greed Index holds steady at 28, deep within Fear territory.

The Bitcoin futures yield collapse: Once over 20%, now less than Treasury notes

Once a goldmine for carry traders, Bitcoin futures have flipped, consistently underperforming plain‑vanilla U.S. Treasuries every month since February. Carry trades consistently yielded 20% or more across regulated and unregulated crypto exchanges during the 2021 bull market. The strategy involved shorting Bitcoin futures while simultaneously buying a spot exchange-traded fund (ETF).

The crypto market is moving in the opposite direction to equities

The crypto market’s market capitalisation has fallen by 1% over the past 24 hours, returning to levels last seen in mid-July. The positive momentum the market showed in the first half of last week failed to take hold. Once again, we are seeing a negative correlation with the Nasdaq 100 index, this time in the form of falling cryptocurrencies while shares rise. Could this be becoming the new norm?

Bitcoin: Bulls hold the line

Bitcoin (BTC) edges slightly lower, trading at $64,300 at the time of writing on Friday but holding firmly above a key support zone. US-listed spot Bitcoin Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) support BTC as they continued to attract institutional flows through Thursday, pointing to the fourth consecutive week of net inflows.
