The Month of June was liquidation central.
The ranging markets are looking to continue through August-September, and these conditions are still suitable for lending and liquidity provision. Let’s look at some charts.
1D BTC/USD:
All eyes are on Bitcoin as the market hangs on by a thread from a steep drop. Closing above the 36k mark for this monthly candle would strengthen the last week’s upward trend since the wick into 28k as a local bottom. RSI on the daily chart is scraping the 50, and bullish divergence on the RSI started forming after the June 21st low. Under these conditions, The risk/reward becomes greater since the large correction is closer to the floor than the ceiling. Multiple purchases over the next few months will have a greater chance of long-term profitability.
1D ETH/USD: The price breaking through $2275 would solidify the upward momentum. A range 2275-1984 is our buying window if Bitcoin can continue the higher movement.
The market sentiment shifted from ultra bearish, and many short positions were removed after the latest push to local lows. The fear and greed index is slowly recovering, and once again, fear in the markets is generally a sound time to continue adding positions.
Volatility in a sideways market can be boring, but I believe we have weathered the current storm and will continue to consolidate after the market froth has been removed.
Coinbase Debuts Savings Product With 4% APY on USDC Deposits 🤑🤑
Coinbase is rolling out a crypto savings account that lets you earn 4% annual percentage yield (APY) by lending out your USDC (+0.03%).
The account isn’t FDIC- or SIPC-insured and functions much like other products at crypto lenders and other exchanges that regularly offer yields around 8%. The reason why Coinbase is offering a comparatively lower yield is because it doesn’t lend to “unidentified third parties,” said Thorsten Jaeckel, senior product manager at Coinbase.
Coinbase, which administers the USDC stablecoin in partnership with Circle through the CENTRE Consortium, appears to be aiming squarely for banks with its new product, touting rates “more than 50x the national average of a traditional savings account.” Read more.
