Key Insights:

  • It is a mixed end to the week for the crypto top ten, with Dogecoin (DOGE) returning to the top ten while bitcoin (BTC) hits reverse after a visit to $25,000.
  • There were no crypto triggers to cause a broad-based reversal from day highs, suggesting some profit-taking as uncertainty over the Fed lingers.
  • Despite a total crypto market cap fall of $6.9 billion to $1,141 billion, the crypto market cap is up $66 billion for the week.

It is a mixed Sunday session for the crypto top ten. Bitcoin (BTC) is currently in negative territory, despite a first visit to $25,000 since June 13. However, Dogecoin (DOGE) moved back into the top ten, currently up 11%, with Cardano (ADA) and XRP also finding support.

There were no cues to cause the broader crypto market pullback. Progress towards the Vasil hard fork delivered ADA support, while meme coins enjoyed a breakout session.
