Crypto Market Daily Highlights – BNB and DOGE Lead Top Ten Recovery

Key Insights:

• It was a bullish Saturday session for the crypto top ten. BNB and DOGE led the recovery.
• Following two consecutive days of heavy losses, dip buyers returned as investor jitters of another liquidity crunch eased.
• Partially reversing a $45.49 billion loss from Friday, the crypto market cap rose by $9.60 billion to end the day at $769.62 billion.

It was a bullish Saturday session for the crypto top ten. BNB and DOGE led the way. Despite the bullish session, BTC fell short of $17,000 for the first time since November 29.

Investor jitters over a Binance liquidity crunch eased on Saturday. The crypto community was more active on Twitter at the start of the weekend, highlighting elements of the Binance FUD.

Binance CEO CZ turned to Twitter, saying,

“FUD is temporary. Truth last.”

CZ also shared several tweets, including a CryptoQuant.com view on Binance, which stated,

“Our analysis should not be interpreted as a favorable opinion of Binance as a company or the BSC/BNB networks. Our data merely shows that the amount of BTC Binance says it holds as liabilities at the moment the PoR Report was conducted matches our reserve data.”

However, the Saturday recovery was modest, with investors wary of another liquidity crunch despite the circulating comments. Recession fear, a hawkish Fed, and regulatory risk are other crypto headwinds for investor consideration.

Today, we expect investors to continue to monitor the crypto news wires. Validation of Proof-of-Reserves and countering FUD campaigns will likely remain areas of interest. In the final hour, the NASDAQ mini will also influence.
