Weekly Crypto Market Update Reports (September 10th -16th, 2022): Ethereum Successfully Completes The Merge
Ethereum has successfully upgraded to the Proof-of-Stake blockchain, while the crypto market has not reacted positively to this news; MicroStrategy is planning to buy back Bitcoin and Do Kwon has finally been wanted from South Korea. Let’s review the main news of the market with CoinCu this week.
Market figures for the week
The crypto market’s capitalization: The index rose by less than 1% for the week. The market experienced a rally between September 10 and September 13, 2022, with capitalization reaching $1,076 trillion. The market dropped 5% in the first hour after US inflation data was updated. As a result, capitalization is currently hovering just below $1 trillion.
Trading activity dropped significantly: The indicator increased by nearly 34% over the previous week. The greatest increase in trading volumes occurred concurrently with the rise in crypto rates. Following the drawdown, market trading remains above the lower levels seen in recent months. The end of the summer vacation season may have contributed to the revival.
The Cryptocurrency Fear & Greed Index: The index reached 34 points for the first time in a month on September 13, 2022. For the majority of the week, the indicator was above the “Extreme Fear” threshold. Its week-to-week median value was 26 points.
