Bitcoin (BTC): The largest cryptocurrency by market value fell 3% over the past 24 hours, in sync with equity markets. Risky assets such as cryptocurrencies and stocks are still under pressure from the Federal Reserve’s warning this week that monetary policy might need to keep tightening – and stay tight – well into 2023. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite closed down 1%. The S&P 500 slid 1.1% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 0.9%.


Ether (ETH): The second-largest cryptocurrency followed BTC’s trajectory, dropping around 3.1% to $1,205.


Raydium (RAY): Solana-based decentralized exchange platform Raydium confirmed in a tweet on Friday that it had been the victim of an exploit. At press time, around $2 million worth of different cryptocurrencies was sitting in the account of an attacker that managed to maliciously withdraw user funds from Raydium exchange pools. The price of RAY decreased 8.96% in the past 24 hours.


CoinDesk Market Index (CMI): The benchmark index of 167 digital assets lost 3.3%. Prognosticators suggest 2023 will be the “Year of the Dapps.” There’s also speculation that it might be the “Year of the DAOs,” but the question is whether it will be the year they start following the law.

Anyone who ignored bitcoin over the last seven days would think that not much occurred, if looking at total price movement. Those paying attention might still be dizzy from the roller-coaster ride.


Optimism early in the week reversed, with bitcoin’s price settling in just below $17,000. On a relative basis, BTC’s seven-day performance against the U.S. dollar was third among the top 20 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization. Ether finished in the middle of the pack, declining 5% over the last seven days.


BTC’s chart doesn’t offer much by way of short-term optimism. Its Relative Strength Index (RSI) has fallen near 40, implying that BTC momentum is essentially neutral at the moment.


The Volume Profile Visible Range tool shows significant past trading activity and price agreement between $16,500 and $17,000. The combination of these factors sets the framework for BTC to trade flat, in lieu of a new catalyst.
