Crypto Week: Bullish Trap and Apple Crypto Ambitions

The Crypto market is drifting along calmly as Bitcoin is hovering around $19,000 per coin. Altcoins are following without any significant signs of activity. The same description of drifting along could be applied to traditional financial markets that remain under pressure. Investors have gotten tired of being afraid and are inspired by any minor positive news. The Federal Reserve (Fed) interest rates are expected to be raised by 75 basis points in November and 50 bp in December 2022.

Weekly Summary: Truss exit, U.S. debt soaring yields

Anton Bykov

It has been a hectic week. A deepening political crisis in the United Kingdom, record yields on the debt market and an uninspiring Q3 corporate reporting in the United States. All these turbulent events may create an illusion of an environment that is highly saturated with information, and it could be assumed that this could result in strong market movements. This is usually the case but if we really try to spot a real peak of information it appears that there are none in sight.

Crypto Week: Rough Hacker Gets a Hefty Margin

Anton Bykov

Bitcoin continues to rest close to the important support level at $19,000. There are still no reasons for a rebound of the coin. Downside targets are intact as the nearest support is located at $15,000 with a possible rebound to $18,000. The mid-term downside targets are at $12,500 per coin. Any negative downside dynamics of Bitcoin would certainly impact altcoins that may lose more than 50% of their current prices with this scenario. The unknown hacker has attacked Mango Markets DeFi protocol causing damages of $116 million.

Weekly Focus: Mr Hunt, Corporate Reporting and China

Anton Bykov

The situation in the markets is speeding up. The recently appointed finance minister in the United Kingdom Kwasi Kwarteng saw his last day in office at the end of last weekafter failing to justify unfounded proposed tax cuts. An experienced conservative, Jeremy Hunt, took over the finance minister’s office on October 14 and it seems he hit it off immediately with the Governor of the Bank of England (BoE) Andrew Baily. The new minister has started off strong. He already promised to accelerate plans to calm down U.K.

Crypto Week: Binance Bridge Hack and MtGox Payouts

Anton Bykov

The most shocking news of the week is the Binance blockchain bridge hack of at least $100 million. The Binance blockchain, also known as a BNB Chain, suspended transactions and fund transfers after discovering the vulnerability. This vulnerability is of particular interest as even after the discovery of malicious activity, security systems considered such actions as valid for three more hours. The hacker forged the low-level proof messages, allowing to mint new BNB tokens. Such an activity was considered by the security system as actions carried out by large coin holders.

Weekly Summary: OPEC+ “Slap” and Non-Farm Payrolls

Anton Bykov

September Non-Farm payrolls report, which will be released on Friday in the United States, is extremely important to confirm if the Federal Reserve (Fed) will continue with their no-matter-what aggressive monetary tightening. A strong labour market would certainly mean a 75-basis points interest rate hike by the Fed in November. There were serious doubts about this move early in the week after the Reserve Bank of Australia raised its interest rates by only 25 basis points following the announcement by the Bank of England that it would activate its unlimited QE program by October 15.

Crypto Week: European Banks' Blunders Are Adding Pressure on Cryptos

Anton Bykov

Bitcoin prices are moving sideways amid a lack of significant directional drivers in the crypto and traditional financial markets. The overall negative picture which has been painted with a bearish trend is intact and Bitcoin prices may plunge to $15,000 per coin in the foreseeable future. A possible Credit Suisse meltdown may put enormous pressure on digital assets as institutions are likely to firstly dump risky assets in the case of severe financial troubles. Credit Suisse stocks have fallen by 20% over the last two weeks, and by 60% from the beginning of 2022.

Weekly Focus: NFP, OPEC+ Meeting, and Fed Testimonies

Anton Bykov

The S&P 500 broad market index tested lows at 3570 points on Monday. This is the lowest support level the index may drop towards before hitting the extreme targets of 3400-3500 points and heading towards possible market turmoil. British finance minister Kwasi Kwarteng said this morning that the government will reverse its plan to scrap the highest rate of income tax after a backlash to his proposition of a mini-budget to cut taxes was received.

Crypto Week: Bitcoin Goes Down as Scheduled

Anton Bykov

Regular price swings seen at the beginning of the week may signal that Bitcoin prices are set to dive even deeper. The logic is simple – bears are collecting stop-loss orders during price spikes and then trying to break through strong support levels. Bears are always less present in the market than bulls, and they need to put in more effort to drag prices down and retreat, at some point, in order to later make another downside attempt. The next downside target is located at $17,800.

Weekly Summary: U.S. Economy’s Soft Landing Is Cancelled, S&P 500 Drops Below 3750

Anton Bykov

Central banks across the globe are pulling on the brakes to tame unruly inflation. Russia is going to invade new territories of Ukraine, while Russia is planning to reclaim certain territories of Ukraine and as a result, the European Union will place more sanctions on Russia, including capping export prices on crude oil that originates from Russia.. So, it is likely that a heavy thunderstorm may emerge in the markets over the coming weeks. The S&P 500 broad market index lost another 3.5% this week to reach 3720 points, nearing June lows at 3635 points.
