[Wintermute: Market consolidates in a volatile range, crypto activity narrows to BTC and ETH]
Wintermute stated that the market is consolidating within a volatile yet more resilient range, with crypto activity narrowing to BTC and ETH. Retail and institutional capital flows show a positive tilt, with relatively low leverage. BTC has rebounded to around $92,000, and the total market capitalization of the crypto market has recovered to approximately $3.25 trillion. Last Friday, BTC experienced a sharp drop of about $4,000 due to cascading liquidations, with approximately $2 billion liquidated. Weakening momentum in Nasdaq has driven capital flows toward BTC and ETH. Influenced by meetings of the Federal Reserve and the Bank of Japan, the market is awaiting macro clarity, and the compression of basis indicates limited directional leverage exposure.
