Tech companies released their earnings today and as a result, we saw volatility in the cryptocurrency market. The crypto market had many ups and downs in the last twenty-four hours. In this article, we will look into some of those things and see how they are changed in the last twenty-four hours. Along with that, we will also look into one of the coins from the CoinMarketCap trending coin list and go through some basics to see what the project is and how things are going for it.

Overview Of Crypto Market

As discussed in the previous release of "Market Overview", tech companies released their earnings, and the crypto market reacted to it. In reaction to that earnings report, Bitcoin went down to $20.7k and tested & bounced back from the 30 MA line. At the time of writing this article, Bitcoin is trading at $21,453, 2.34% up in the last twenty-four hours. Most of the altcoins followed the path of Bitcoin and surged in the last twenty-four hours.

As you can see in the picture below, the dominance of Bitcoin is standing at 40.26% and had been volatile for the last 24 hours. Since there is not much change in the dominance of Bitcoin for almost three days we can interpret that there is no more distribution of dominance among Bitcoin and altcoins, and Bitcoin dominance has found its base at 40%. Now come to the stats on the right side of Bitcoin dominance, the Fear and Greed Index of Bitcoin. Currently, it is standing at 28, which means traders and investors are scared to make investments. A week ago the number was standing at 34, which means the decline has started from almost a week, which can be alarming.

In the rightmost part of the picture above, we can see the comparison between the long and short positions across multiple crypto exchanges like Binance, FTX, and Bitfinex. Currently, there are 58.72% long positions combined across all exchanges while there are only 41.28% short positions. This shows that leveraged traders are still taking the risks and showcasing the bull strength. Other data related to the crypto market is as follows:

Market Cap: $1.02 Trillion (+2.71%)

24h Volume: $1.56 Trillion  (-0.63%)

This growth is sure because of the momentum got from the crypto market but the update regarding the long-awaited Ethereum 2.0 is also one of the major contributors. In this update, Ethereum will be shifting the PoW model to the PoS, and the entire crypto space is excited for that update which might happen in late September or in early October, there is no exact date announced yet.

Being the best and very first programmable altcoin in the crypto space, many developers get attracted to Ethereum and because of its decentralization and security, it is the most preferred blockchain in the developers' community.
