As this chronometer of chaos records, Bitcoin is up more than 7% and is hovering just under $70,000, like a polite guest who overstates their welcome but still hasn’t outstayed their welcome completely.
XRP, that fickle darling of the digital realm, has danced in tandem with the broader crypto market’s decline, its on-chain metrics whispering tales of woe. Behold, the exchange reserves have swelled to 2.7 billion tokens-a number so grand, it makes one wonder if the investors are merely hoarding their digital gold or preparing to sell it to the very devil himself.
Bitcoin, the old rascal, has been playing a bit of a game lately, reacting from a technical support zone that’s been the backbone of its market structure for several years. After a rather bearish spell, it’s revisited the lower boundary of a multi-year ascending channel, intact since March 2021. This has, naturally, caught the eye of the trading set, as the level coincides with additional technical confluence, which historically has led to some rather meaningful high-timeframe pivots.

There’s no heavy volume riding shotgun with this bounce, meaning we’re in the realm of relief, not revival. Momentum is dampened near the $66,800 rejection zone, where sellers are still flexing, swatting away upside dreams without volume confirmation.
Aster has officially launched its Layer 1 testnet, which is basically like throwing a party for decentralized derivatives enthusiasts. Why? Because DeFi is now all about perpetual DEXs, and Aster wants in on the action. Move over, general-purpose blockchains-this one’s got a type.
