Market Highlights

US Dollar Index & Crypto Implications: The US dollar index is nearing a significant resistance at $107.91. Ideally, it won't breach this level. A breakthrough could signal a continued downtrend for the crypto market.

Global Crypto Market Cap Concerns: The global market cap is teetering close to its June 15th support of $993bn. A dip below this could spell trouble for all hodlers, particularly those in low-liquidity altcoins.

Altcoin Market: The altcoin market is showing signs of distress. A drop below $409bn would enter a concerning dead zone. Personally, several altcoins in my portfolio have been bleeding seriously.

Bitcoin has been relatively stagnant, but a sharp move on the 5th liquidated both long and short traders. The silver lining?
