Crypto Market Overview: Widespread Bearish Sentiment Prevails

A suspected exit fraud has investors of the Yearn.Finance governance token YFI on edge. There was a decline of nearly $300 million in market capitalization, according to statistics from CoinMarketCap, as the price of YFI plummeted dramatically. The YFI token dropped from $15,570 to $8,654 within a short duration. The token, despite this, is up 101% in the last 30 days. Another weekend of FUD in the crypto world has been provoked by the sell-off. Some Twitter users have speculated that the creators themselves hold 10 wallets containing half of the total token supply. Etherscan data, however, suggests that a subset of these holders are likely just wallets at cryptocurrency exchanges. Substantial YFI Transferred Lookonchain, a blockchain data analytics startup, has released some analysis on the YFI price drop. One "0x48f9" address was revealed to have transferred millions of dollars across several trading platforms. The address sent about 446 YFI, valued around $5.8 million, in ETH to several exchange addresses. According to data provided by Intotheblock, the monthly rate of whale outflow is lower than the monthly rate of whale inflow. There was a 158% rise in the large holder's inflow over the previous month, while the large holder's outflow was 105%. An automated trading solution for decentralized financial (DeFi) markets is provided by the Yearn.Finance protocol. Andre Cronje, an entrepreneur and Ethereum developer, released the protocol in July of 2020. According to CoinMarketCap, YFI is trading at $9743, down 37% in the last 24 hours at the time of writing. Moreover, the trading volume is up 29.57%. Highlighted Crypto News Today: XRP Faces Selling Pressure as Market Momentum Takes a Downturn Market News

BTC/USD is currently trading around the $26,917 level, down 1.66%. The pair has been unable to break past the resistance of $27,466, which has prevented BTC from any further gains. It could reach the $28,000 level if it breaks past this resistance. For the past few days, BTC has been trading between $26,000 and $27,500.

The ETH/USD pair shows that the bears are still in control of the market, trading around the $1,814 level with a bearish bias. The selling pressure has kept the pair subdued, and it is unlikely to break past the $1,831 level soon. 

The pair will likely stay range bound within the $1,774-$1,831 mark for some time. The bulls are struggling to maintain their gains and support levels.

The BNB/USD pair is trading around the $310 level, down 0.99%. The volatility is quite low, and the pair has been unable to break past the $314 resistance. The 20 EMA also confirms the bearish trend, as it is trading below this level. The bullish and bearish divergence has kept the pair in a sideways movement.

However, the XRP/USD pair shows some signs of strength as it is trading around the $0.4642 level and is up 1.17 percent. The bulls are gradually pushing the prices higher but have not yet been able to break past the $0.4651 resistance. If the buyers manage this, then XRP could go up toward its previous highs near the $0.4700 level.

Cardano, Solana, and other altcoins also seem to be in the grip of the bears. ADA/USD is trading around $0.3751, down by 0.90%. The pair has been making lower and lower highs, suggesting that the sellers are still dominating this market. Similarly, SOL/USD is trading 2.57% lower at the $20.47 level and has failed to break past the resistance of the $22.00 level.

Overall, today’s price analysis shows that most of the major cryptocurrencies are trading in the red zone and are not able to make any significant progress. The selling pressure is keeping them suppressed near their support levels.  The buyers should now look to break past the key resistances in order to make some gains.
