🪙 CRYPTO DIGEST 🪙

This past week, Bitcoin briefly lost ground, falling below the previous all-time high (ATH) from 2021, before rallying back above this crucial threshold as the week closed. The recovery continued into this week, with BTC starting strong and surpassing the April open. This level will be crucial to watch in the coming days and weeks. Maintaining support above the April open and the 2021 ATH could signal the beginning of an expansive phase leading to continued price discovery for Bitcoin. Conversely, failure to uphold these levels could result in further consolidation or corrections.

BTC Dominance also played a significant role, achieving its highest weekly close recently without surpassing range highs. This development hints at a pivotal moment for the crypto market cycle. A rise in BTC Dominance toward 57% or higher could indicate a peak for this cycle, potentially setting the stage for the broader altcoin market to begin outperforming Bitcoin. Alternatively, a decisive break in BTC Dominance's current uptrend might suggest that an altcoin season is imminent, with broader market participation likely to increase.

ETH/BTC has faced challenges, posting its lowest weekly close of the current cycle, yet has currently held above its cycle lows. The behaviour of ETH/BTC around the 0.0508 mark—established as a range low in October 2023—will be critical. A shift to treating this level as support could signal a deviation from the range and a phase where Ethereum might outperform Bitcoin. However, failure to sustain this support might lead to a downward expansion, potentially marking a "depression phase" for ETH/BTC.

The upcoming Consumer Price Index (CPI) release on Wednesday is poised to be a significant market mover. Market anticipations suggest a possible sell-off on Tuesday evening in anticipation of the CPI data. A hotter-than-expected CPI could extend the sell-off, whereas a report within or slightly better than expectations might allow for a swift market recovery and continuation of the bullish trend observed over the past year. Additionally, the rising prices of gold, setting new all-time highs amidst global economic uncertainties and regional tensions, have traditionally signalled a risk-off mood in broader markets, further complicating the economic landscape.

🤑 AIRDROPS 🤑

As we recently saw with Wormhole, cross-chain interoperability is often valued in the space.

Did you know there is a cross-chain bridge platform that is currently severely under-farmed?

Debridge is a fast, cheap and easy bridge platform that can be used to bridge between numerous blockchains such as Ethereum, Solana, Binance and more. They recently released a point system which in most cases means that there is an airdrop on the way.

Other airdrops I’m looking at…

Mayan Finance is also another bridge platform that is backed and powered by Wormhole. It is also fast & easy to use.

My strategy with bridges is to bridge once or twice a week between the chains with the lowest gas fees (Solana, Base, Polygon) with consistency. If you want to farm on multiple wallets make sure that you don’t sybil your wallets & also make sure not to spam transactions as this could be flagged as bot activity.
