Key Crypto Market Figures

Crypto Tradable Indices (CTIs) Weekly Performance
Crypto prices remained firm over the past week, with the Top 10 Crypto CTI gaining 2.5% on the week. As a result, Bitcoin which rose 5%, is on track for its best January performance in a decade, indicative of a sharp reversal in bearish sentiment that negatively impacted prices for much of 2022. Key to sustaining this bullish trend will be Wednesday’s FOMC meeting followed by Friday’s US non-farm payrolls. The overwhelming consensus is for a 25bp hike and another solid jobs report but continued easing in hourly wage growth, which would be consistent with the “soft-landing” narrative. However, after such a solid monthly performance there is clearly a risk of a near-term pull-back on profit-taking.
Amongst our CTIs the best performer was ESG, with the index up 10% w/w, closely followed by the Top 10 PoS CTI (+7%). Contributing to the strong performance in both indices was the 21% rally in Avalanche as investors continued to speculate on its potential following the earlier announcement that it was teaming up with AWS to accelerate blockchain adoption by businesses and governments.
