Crypto Trading Volumes At One-Year Low, Major Correction Ahead

Other altcoins like Ethereum (ETH) and the top ten have also gained anywhere between 3-4% over the last 24 hours. However, investors still need to maintain caution as weekly trading volumes for some of the top digital assets have dropped to historically low levels. On-chain data provider Santiment reported:

The largest assets in #crypto are seeing historically low levels of weekly trading volume. #Altcoin volume, in particular, has really dried up. When combining just $BTC & $ETH volume, this is the 2nd lowest threshold we are seeing since September, 2019.

Thus, it will be interesting to see whether Bitcoin and other altcoins will continue the rally. For the Bitcoin price to confirm the bullish momentum going ahead, it must give a closing above $27,640 levels.

Crypto Market Sentiment Overall Negative

After a strong rally earlier this year, crypto assets have once again come under selling pressure. Bitcoin has faced multiple rejections at $30,000 over the last few weeks.

Last week saw the fifth consecutive week of outflows from the crypto market. A total of USD 32 million flew out of cryptocurrency investment products. Crypto analytics firm CoinShares reported:

Volumes totalled US$900m for the week, 40% below this year’s average. Volumes for the broader market on trusted exchanges hit their lowest level since late-2020 at US$20bn for the week.

The total outflows of USD 33 million (last week) from Bitcoin investment products represent the most negative sentiment as over the last five weeks. The combined outflows in the BTC investment products over the last five weeks stand at US$235m.

There could be multiple reasons behind the current negative market sentiment. One could be the concerns over the US defaulting on its debt. JPMorgan chief Jamie Dimon recently said that there could be a major crash in the market if the debt talks go wrong.

US prosecutors outline jury instructions for SBF’s trial

US prosecutors have submitted their proposed instructions to the jury for the upcoming trial of FTX co-founder Sam Bankman-Fried, set to begin in October. The detailed 100-page filing, dated Aug. 21, outlines how the prosecutors wish Judge Lewis Kaplan to guide the jury in Bankman-Fried’s case. The instructions are based on previous guidance the New York district judge has provided in other cases. Bankman-Fried faces seven charges, including fraud, money laundering conspiracy, wire fraud, commodities fraud, and securities fraud.

While such proposals are standard in criminal trial s, the final decision on jury instructions rests with Judge Kaplan. The former FTX c...
