Trakx Weekly Update: July 8

Key Crypto Market Figures

CTIs Weekly Performance

Crypto markets experienced significant turmoil over the past week, highlighted by the Trakx Top 10 Crypto CTI declining 11.7%. This drop was driven by the broader market’s reaction to $665M in daily liquidations as Bitcoin tanked below $55K, fueled by Germany-related FUD. In response to the market instability, Justin Sun offered to buy $2B in bitcoin from Germany to help alleviate selling pressure. Additionally, Mt. Gox moved $2.7B in bitcoin ahead of its $9B payout process, further contributing to the market’s volatility.

Bitcoin’s price drop below its 200-day average brought the bull market trendline into focus, intensifying concerns among investors.

Within the Trakx family of CTIs, the BTC Momentum CTI showed the most resilience, with a marginal decline of 0.1%. Conversely, the Trakx Meme CTI was the weakest performer, plummeting by 19.6%. Other notable declines included the Trakx Gaming CTI and NFT Metaverse CTI, which fell by 20% and 20.4%, respectively.
