• While BTC rested around $29,000 last week, both ETH and BNB saw a slight sell-off into the midweek. Both coins have recovered their midweek losses on the backdrop of the strength in BTC over the last few days but sit in the same price range as last week.
• We’re possibly seeing some early signs of decoupling in the market. The ETHBTC correlation has started to trend downwards, and last week’s recovery in U.S. equities was not reflected in the crypto market, leading the 30-day correlation between BTC and U.S. equities to decline to late April levels.
• Certain altcoins have seen a strong recovery over the last week, with Cardano being the winner among the top 50 coins, seeing 28.7% gains. Nevertheless, we note that all top performers have seen yearly losses of 50% or more, while Avalanche, one of last year’s strongest coins, is down 76% for the year.
• Although the bitcoin price has finished May down 18%, it has still outperformed most of the crypto market, as traders view it as the blue-chip cryptocurrency. The Large Caps Index is down 24%, the Mid Caps Index has decreased by 28%, and the Small Cap Index is the worst performer after declining 33%.
• After reaching its highest level since May 2021 two weeks ago, the 7-day average real* bitcoin spot volume has now stabilized at the normal levels seen in 2022, around $4 -$5 billion. FTX continues to grow its market share, as its bitcoin spot volume surpassed Coinbase's for the first time ever in May.
