On-chain data shows the Bitcoin Market Value to Realized Value (MVRV) ratio has observed a plunge alongside the latest price crash. Bitcoin 30-Day MVRV Ratio Is Now At Lowest Levels Since FTX Collapse As explained by analyst Ali Martinez in a new post on X, the 30-day MVRV ratio has just gone through a sharp drop. The “MVRV ratio” refers to a popular on-chain indicator that, in short, tells us about how the value held by the Bitcoin investors (that is, the market cap) compares against the capital put in by them (the realized cap). When the value of this ratio is greater than 1, it means the investors as a whole are carrying an unrealized profit right now. On the other hand, it being under the mark suggests the dominance of loss in the market. Related Reading: Bitcoin Price Crashes To $49,000: Key Reasons Explained In the context of the current topic, the MVRV ratio for the entire market isn’t of interest, but that of just a segment of it: the investors who bought their coins within the past 30 days. Now, here is a chart that shows the trend in the 30-day Bitcoin MVRV ratio over the past couple of years: Note that the 30-day Bitcoin MVRV ratio here is displayed as a percentage, with the zero mark essentially taking the same role as the 1 value in the normal version. From the graph, it’s visible that the indicator had shot up to high levels earlier in the year as the asset had witnessed a rapid surge to a new all-time high (ATH). In the consolidation period that had followed this ATH, though, the metric had fallen to oscillation about the zero mark. This sideways trajectory, in the price and the indicator, both, has now finally been broken, as the cryptocurrency has observed a crash. The 30-day MVRV ratio has now slumped to sharp negative values of 17%, meaning that the average investor who bought in the past month is 17% in the red right now. As is apparent in the chart, the last time that the indicator plummeted this low was in November 2022, when the Bitcoin price crashed following the collapse of the cryptocurrency exchange FTX. “That period marked a bottom and an excellent buying opportunity,” notes the analyst.

Generally, when investor profits balloon too much, a top can become likely, as the chances of widespread profit-taking become significant. The price ATH earlier in the year also formed when the indicator had a high value. In times of high losses, though, selling could be assumed to have reached a state of exhaustion, meaning that a rebound could be probable. Bitcoin saw this in effect during the FTX crash, but it only remains to be seen whether a similar fate also lies in store for it this time. BTC Price The early signs of a potential rebound may already be here as the Bitcoin price has made recovery to $54,400 from its low under $50,000.

The ongoing plunge in the overall crypto market fairly began back in July where the global crypto market cap initially fell to $2.5 trillion from $2.7 trillion earlier in May. However, despite this downturn recorded in July, Cardano (ADA), the 9th largest crypto by market cap appears to have defied this bearish trend. Particularly, according to the Cardano foundation, the blockchain stands out in July for its notable increase in on-chain activity, despite broader market setbacks. The data provided by the Foundation reveals that the network is not only sustaining but also building momentum, a sign of resilience and growing user engagement. Cardano July Growth Regarding the network’s health, statistics revealed by the foundation show that Cardano saw a modest yet worthy increase in transactions to 94.6 million, up by 1.62% from the previous month. Related Reading: Cardano Goes Toe-To-Toe With Ethereum As Whales Scoop Up 120 Million ADA This uptick is dissected into varied transaction types, showcasing a diverse usage of the blockchain. Among these, 37% were smart contracts, reflecting the network’s strong capabilities beyond simple transactions, which accounted for 38%. Additionally, 25% involved metadata without smart contracts, highlighting the blockchain’s adaptability and the wide array of applications it supports. The foundation’s data also detailed growth in several other key areas of the Cardano network, underlining the technological advancement and deepening user involvement. Plutus scripts, which are essential for running smart contracts on Cardano, saw a rise of 1.88%, totalling 6,659. This increase is a direct reflection of the growing developer activity and the deployment of more complex applications on the platform. Moreover, the ecosystem saw a growth in native tokens, up by 1% to 10.2 million, and an even more significant rise in policies, which surged 7.6% to reach 150,477. Wallet statistics also paint a picture of broadening participation within the Cardano community. The total number of Cardano wallets increased by 0.71% to 4.84 million, with delegated wallets slightly up by 0.02% to 1.35 million. This marginal growth in delegated wallets suggests a stable interest in staking and governance participation among ADA holders. ADA Current Market Performance Regardless of this notable growth in Cardano’s on-chain activities last month, the blockchain’s native token ADA has joined in on the global crypto market downturn. Over the past 24 hours alone, ADA has recorded a roughly 7.1% decrease in its value. Related Reading: Hoskinson Claims Cardano Will Flip Bitcoin As Leading Crypto This decline has brought the asset to currently trade at a price of $0.3202, at the time of writing—a slight increase from the price tag of $0.2789 seen earlier today. Interesting, despite this plunge, ADA’s 24-hour trading volume has surge significantly from below $400,000 as of yesterday to roughly above $1.250 million as at the time of writing.

The Law Commission's final report urges UK government to reclassify crypto assets, addressing current legal gaps.
The global economic market has now so far shown increasing signs of instability which appears to have impacted the overall crypto investment sector negatively. Recent data from CoinShares has revealed a reversal in the flow of funds, with crypto investment products experiencing significant weekly outflows. As reported by CoinShares, this outflow marks the first time in over a month that the net balance has tipped from “accumulation to liquidation,” highlighting investor anxiety amid recession fears in the United States. Deciphering The Crypto Fund Flows: Was There Any Green? Analyzing the geographical distribution of these outflows presents a nuanced view of the current market stance. The report from CoinShares revealed that US-based funds were the hardest hit, recording net outflows of $531 million. Related Reading: Bitcoin’s Price Potential: Analyst Maps Path To $700,000 And Beyond This figure was heavily influenced by a significant sell-off on Friday, where net outflows totalled $237.4 million, overshadowing any inflows earlier in the week. The bulk of these withdrawals were from Bitcoin-based products, which saw a $400 million exit, ending five weeks of consecutive net inflows. Notably, there was a slight uptick in investments into Short Bitcoin funds, which garnered $1.8 million, marking their first significant inflows since June. Conversely, certain regions displayed resilience or even optimism amidst the downturn. Swiss and Canadian markets bucked the trend by registering net inflows of $28 million and $17 million, respectively. This suggests that some investors are viewing the price declines as buying opportunities, possibly anticipating a market recovery. Ethereum-specific products also mirrored this volatile trend. Globally, Ethereum investment vehicles reported net outflows of $146 million. The US spot Ethereum ETFs were particularly affected, with $169.4 million leaving these funds. However, this was part of a larger narrative where new Ethereum ETFs saw roughly about $433.6 million in net inflows, only to be overshadowed by $603 million in net outflows from Grayscale’s ETHE fund. Behind The Outflows The total of $528 million withdrawn from various crypto asset investment products last week alone comes on the heels of several notable economic pressures. James Butterfill, the Head of Research at CoinShares, particularly attributed this exodus to mounting concerns over what they believe to be “a reaction to fears of a recession in the US, geopolitical concerns and consequent broader market liquidations across most asset classes.” This mass withdrawal, according to Butterfill also coincided with a sharp market correction that erased roughly $10 billion from the total Exchange Traded Products (ETP) Assets Under Management (AUM) at the week’s close.

Bitcoin (BTC) saw a 20% price drop over the weekend, briefly losing the $50,000 support level. The rest of the market followed the flagship cryptocurrency, crashing around 23% in the last three days. Since then, the crypto market has momentarily reclaimed some key levels, but analysts fear the bleeding isn’t over yet. Is The Bitcoin Bottom In? Following Bitcoin’s drop below $50,000, crypto analyst Altcoin Sherpa shared his thoughts on BTC’s performance. To him, the flagship cryptocurrency hit one of its possible bottoms on Monday morning after reaching the $49,000 support zone. Related Reading: Bitcoin RSI Goes Bearish For The First Time Since August 2023, Will It Crash Below $40,000? The massive drop to the $49,000-$50,000 area, which represented a 17% fall in less than 24 hours, could be the bottom, said Sherpa. However, he believes lower support levels will likely be tested in the coming days. Per the post, the analyst won’t be “sitting comfortably” until BTC prices test the $40,000-$47,000 area, as these levels “got a lot more support.” Bitcoin’s current price action reminds the analyst of its performance during the 2021 rally. At the time, BTC saw the January consolidation area “be the key focal point for the temporary bottom” during that summer. The summer 2021 violent dump, which resembles the current crash, was followed by a bottom that “formed over several months.” Based on this, Sherpa believes that the January 2024 price range could be the key area to watch. He also reaffirmed his previous forecast for the cycle, which asserted that the market would resume its run during Q4 2024 and continue throughout Q1 2025: What’s going to happen after this dump is anyone’s guess; my personal one is that we chop around for the next several months after this dump is over and then have a great Q4-Q1 of 2025. Survive until then. BTC Sees The Cycle’s Deepest Retrace Yet According to Rekt Capital, the recent Bitcoin crash officially became the deepest retrace of the cycle. BTC saw 23% and 25% drops in May and July, respectively, which have now been surpassed by the 29% drop registered in the last two weeks. Trader and market analyst Crypto Bullet also weighed in on the current BTC performance. To the analyst, Bitcoin’s chart is reminiscent of the COVID-19 crash in 2020, displaying a similar Descending Broadening Wedge pattern. Per the post, the largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization saw a similar dump in March 2020, followed by a price recovery and breakout from the pattern in the coming months. Similarly, BTC tested the lower support levels within the pattern on Monday morning, which could suggest the price is poised to recover soon. Nonetheless, Crypto Jelle believes that Bitcoin’s price is testing key levels on this weekly opening. To him, BTC is “still holding inside the descending broadening wedge and holding sensible area of support.” Due to this performance, Jelle considers that “the higher the day end, the better.” Related Reading: MATIC: Market Nosedive Leads To 30% Wipe In Value Lastly, renowned analyst Ali Martinez stated that Bitcoin must reclaim the $54,000 support level to prevent dropping to the $40,000 mark. Based on BTC’s MVRV Pricing Bands, the analyst believes the flagship cryptocurrency could soon retest the $67,000 resistance level if it holds the current price. As of this writing, BTC has recovered 8.8% from its fall, trading at $54,320. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com

The cryptocurrency market has been rocked by a seismic sell-off over the past 24 hours, with the two largest digital assets, Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), plummeting over 20% in value. At the epicenter of the chaos is one of the industry’s biggest names – Justin Sun, the founder of the TRON blockchain. On-chain data suggests that Sun may have used the pullback to scoop up millions of dollars worth of Ethereum at discounted prices. Market Meltdown Wipes Out $600 Billion According to a Fortune report, this market upheaval unfolded against a backdrop of widespread stock market sell-offs triggered by a disappointing jobs report and perceived inaction by the Federal Reserve (Fed). Despite recent positive developments in the crypto sector, such as the launch of Ethereum ETFs in the US in July, digital assets mirrored the stock market downturn. The total crypto market cap tumbled from over $2.5 trillion on July 28 to approximately $1.9 trillion on Monday, marking the most substantial loss since 2022. Related Reading: Bitcoin RSI Goes Bearish For The First Time Since August 2023, Will It Crash Below $40,000? Crypto market maker Wintermute, described the crypto plunge to Fortune as “unexpected,” and attributed it to the US jobs report. The firm noted liquidations surpassing $1 billion in digital asset positions overnight, along with a $57 billion decline in altcoin market capitalization. Noteworthy was a selloff from Jump Trading, a Chicago-based trading firm that had played a significant role in the crypto industry before scaling back amid collapses and regulatory scrutiny. On-chain data by Spot On Chain indicate Jump moving $47 million worth of Ethereum to centralized exchanges (CEXs), though Wintermute cautioned against oversimplifying market movements by attributing them solely to Jump’s actions. Sun’s Ethereum Shopping Spree Amid this market turmoil, attention turned to Justin Sun, the founder of the TRON blockchain. Reports surfaced of a suspicious address linked to Sun buying 16,236 ETH with 37 million USDT stablecoin, as ETH plummeted to $2,112 on Monday, with an average purchase price of $2,279. The address, created three hours prior, allegedly withdrew 38 million USDT from the HTX exchange before acquiring the ETH tokens. It is further alleged that this address belongs to Sun due to its behavior mirroring previous ETH purchases by him. Related Reading: Why Is The Shiba Inu Price Crashing Today? Notably, Sun reportedly holds over 700,000 ETH, with recent data showing a substantial loss of around $280 million as Ethereum’s value dropped by 20%. Since February 8, 2024, Sun allegedly accumulated 377,590 ETH across three wallets, costing an estimated $1.15 billion. Despite Ethereum trading well below his average buying price of $3,051, Sun has denied rumors of liquidation. In a social media post, Sun stated: The rumors about our positions being liquidated are false. We rarely engage in leveraged trading strategies because we believe such trades do not significantly benefit the industry. Instead, we prefer to engage in activities that provide greater support to the industry and entrepreneurs, such as staking, running nodes, working on projects, and helping project teams provide liquidity. At the time of writing, ETH has managed to bounce back to the $2,460 level, with a 346% increase in trading volume over the past 24 hours, amounting to $76 billion, according to CoinGecko data.

BNB price is recovering higher from the $400 support zone. The price is now facing hurdles at $490 and might remain at risk of another decline. BNB price started a recovery wave from the $400 support zone. The price is now trading below $500 and the 100-hourly simple moving average. There is a key bearish trend line forming with resistance at $490 on the hourly chart of the BNB/USD pair (data source from Binance). The pair could start another decline if it fails to clear the $490-$500 resistance zone. BNB Price Faces Key Hurdles In the past few days, BNB price gained bearish momentum below $500 like Ethereum and Bitcoin. The price declined below the $450 and $435 support levels before the bulls emerged. A low was formed at $403 and recently started a recovery wave. The price climbed above the $435 and $440 resistance levels. There was a move above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $576 swing high to the $403 low. It even cleared the $465 resistance. The price is now trading below $500 and the 100-hourly simple moving average. It is now consolidating near the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $576 swing high to the $403 low. On the upside, the price could face resistance near the $490 level. There is also a key bearish trend line forming with resistance at $490 on the hourly chart of the BNB/USD pair. The next resistance sits near the $500 level. A clear move above the $500 zone could send the price higher. In the stated case, BNB price could test $515. A close above the $515 resistance might set the pace for a larger increase toward the $540 resistance. Any more gains might call for a test of the $550 level in the near term. Another Decline? If BNB fails to clear the $500 resistance, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $465 level. The next major support is near the $450 level. The main support sits at $435. If there is a downside break below the $435 support, the price could drop toward the $420 support. Any more losses could initiate a larger decline toward the $400 level. Technical Indicators Hourly MACD – The MACD for BNB/USD is losing pace in the bullish zone. Hourly RSI (Relative Strength Index) – The RSI for BNB/USD is currently above the 50 level. Major Support Levels – $465 and $450. Major Resistance Levels – $490 and $500.
