0/ June 8 - 14 was severe for crypto and the broader financial markets as the U.S. CPI resulted in a strong reaction.
$BTC recorded red candles every day from June 7, which meant there was not enough buying power. The intensified sell-off on June 13 caused a $4,100 loss for it.
1/ In this period:
$BTC briefly touched $20.8k, falling by 29% in a week
$ETH traded below $1.2k, down ~75% from ATH
The total crypto market cap dropped below $1T
The Crypto Fear & Greed index touched 8 points
Over 240,000 traders suffered from losses in $1.3B crypto liquidations
2/ $ETH lost its share of the total market cap due to several reasons. The troubles with its #DeFi space, or $stETH "depegging" & @CelsiusNetwork insolvency crisis, plus the delayed difficulty bomb caused the mess.
ETHBTC ratio slid from the high of 0.076 on May 11 to 0.0509.
3/ $LEO was the only top cryptocurrency to see green, partly thanks to the massive burns.
$CEL surged as Celsius returned 28.1M of $DAI to @MakerDAO to avoid $WBTC liquidation & supplied roughly 8,000 $ETH to @AaveAave to save its $stETH position.
Others include stablecoins.
4/ $CRV & $CVX were 98.6% and 93.4% down from their ATHs. Both DEXes saw massive drawdowns in TVL and decreasing trading volume.
$TRX was hit after $USDD #stablecoin lost its peg. Tron's TVL was plunging to April 2022 levels when it hadn't launched #USDD and a lending platform.
5/ $WAVES closed the week with a significant 42.9% loss.
$LTC recorded -29.6% in price following delistings from major Korean exchanges due to its privacy modifications for the coin (MWEB). @binance announced to end support for LTC transactions sent through the MWEB function.
6/ Despite the catastrophe, hedge funds and investment managers still believe in the market's rebound and $BTC's likeliness to hit $100k.
There is still huge leverage in the system, and we can expect more deleveraging if BTC goes lower.
7/ News:

2/ A slight retracement was detected, which was considered a classic price action after the Fed’s interest rate announcements.
$BTC posted a 1.7% daily drop after the higher-than-expected US payroll data but was still able to hold the $23,000 level that it had broken last week.
The LSD narrative hasn't faded even with new trends popping up in the crypto world.
This 🧵 will cover $LDO $FXS $RPL $ANKR $FIS $BNC $PSTAKE and these projects' performance in the liquid staking sector.
Are you ready for an interesting month for @ethereum?
1/ We'll talk about:
🔹 The current state of LS space
🔹 $LDO
🔹 $SWISE
🔹 $FXS
🔹 $RPL
🔹 $ANKR
🔹 $FIS
🔹 $BNC
🔹 $PSTAKE
🔹 Which LSD token has the strongest correlation to $ETH price?
🔹 Are stakers in profit?
2/ 🔹 The current state of LS space:
• 16,495,303 $ETH deposited (>$27B at current price)
• 515,478 validators
• 95,954 depositors
• 13.69% of $ETH supply staked
• >69K $ETH inflow on Jan. 23 (@ethereum devs finalized first shadow fork for Shanghai)
0/ The week of Oct 12-18 was quiet until the CPI release crashed $BTC to its new October low of $18,299, but the losses quickly recovered.
#BTC went sideways in the rest of the week with a 1% gain, followed by $ETH.
$ADA (-10%) & $XRP (-6%) were the biggest large-cap losers.
1/ Both #stocks & #crypto markets saw a flash sell-off after CPI, but quickly bounced back as the Fed's hawkish policy was priced in.
The Fed's plan for a rate hike streak can put more pressure on crypto in the long term.
2/ It's a question if we can see the decoupling of cryptos from equities.
Could crypto survive another bearish year if S&P and #NASDAQ were to lose another 10-20% in value, $USD would get even stronger, and investors may move out of risk-on assets?
2/ Both S&P 500 and Nasdaq saw the green today due to strong earning reports from @GoldmanSachs and the market was waiting for more, but $BTC marked a 0.3% drop.
$740M in #BTC outflow from exchanges on Oct 18 (@cryptoquant_com) didn't seem to push a clear move for the price.
$FXS saw a nearly 18% surge at one point in the past 24h following the expectation about its upcoming liquid staking protocol and $frxETH release.
What's in store for @fraxfinance and what the future holds: A 🧵
0/ 👇
1/ On its way to becoming a "decentralized central bank," @fraxfinance has shipped new innovations to the #crypto-verse.
And $frxETH, a liquid $ETH staking derivative to maximize staking yield and smoothen the @Ethereum staking process, is the latest one to come to life.
2/ $frxETH acts as an $ETH-pegged #stablecoin, but the peg will be "soft" at first and become "tight" after Shanghai withdrawals, according to @samkazemian:
