The cryptocurrency market fell sharply over the weekend with a prior support level of around $53k giving way with ease. The sell-off happened as the markets rolled over into Asian trading hours and this lack of liquidity, and support break, led to sharp losses across the board with some exchanges showing Bitcoin spiking to a low just above $42k. Overconfidence in the market moving higher, and excessive leverage being used by traders, are given as two reasons for the speed of the sell-off and if the market is going to push higher then a long period of consolidation will be needed before traders regain confidence. It now looks increasingly likely that not only have we seen the high (Bitcoin) for this year and maybe for the many months ahead, but lower prices may become the new trend unless strong support turns up. The daily Bitcoin chart shows the market as heavily oversold and also highlights a gap between $51,750 and $49,750 that needs to be filled.

Cryptocurrencies Hammered Over the Weekend, ETH/BTC Spread Continues to Rally

We have taken a positive view of the Ethereum/Bitcoin spread for some weeks now and while we may be backing off slightly today from a fresh multi-month high, the spread remains attractive on a medium-to-longer term technical view. The daily chart suggests support now between two prior highs at 795 and 815, while the weekly chart shows a bullish cup and handle formation starting to break higher. With market direction still unclear, the ETH/BTC spread still offers traders a way into the market with reduced volatility and a directional bias on the two largest cryptocurrencies.

    • I've been exploring the world of play-to-earn gaming recently, looking for something that's not just about endless grinding but actually offers a fun and rewarding experience. OGC really stood out to me because it combines gaming with a sense of community in a unique way. OGC isn't just a game; it's a platform where you can play, earn, and even help shape its future. You're not just a player; you're part of a community with a voice. The idea of earning crypto while playing games is exciting, but what makes OGC special is its focus on community involvement. Your feedback can directly influence the development of the game, which is a big deal. I've also heard that the OGC token is available for pre-market trading on Bitget. While I'm still getting to know the platform and its features, it's definitely something to keep an eye on. Has anyone else tried OGC? What has your experience been like? I'd love to hear your thoughts and any tips you might have.
