LEGACY MARKETS – DXY
![Crypto Market Pulse: July 22, 2024: Kairon Labs Crypto Market Insights - DXY](https://cdn.sanity.io/images/dzmgtty0/production/5b0dee367999f12f23e9b48af838bfe04afd2618-1920x1061.jpg?w=3840&h=2122&q=80&fit=crop&auto=format)
DXY has kept trending lower. Since it’s just trading in its 2-year range, the longer it trades in it, the smoother equities and crypto should be going forward.
LEGACY MARKETS – VIX
![Crypto Market Pulse: July 22, 2024: Kairon Labs Crypto Market Insights - VIX](https://cdn.sanity.io/images/dzmgtty0/production/f78509db06bf3617e815d2fa0d86081a88f50cdb-1920x1061.jpg?w=3840&h=2122&q=80&fit=crop&auto=format)
VIX spiked in the early morning on Monday, likely as a consequence of Biden's withdrawal from the presidential elections.
BTC WEEKLY VIEW
![Crypto Market Pulse: July 22, 2024: Kairon Labs Crypto Market Insights - BTC](https://cdn.sanity.io/images/dzmgtty0/production/5b0dee367999f12f23e9b48af838bfe04afd2618-1920x1061.jpg?w=3840&h=2122&q=80&fit=crop&auto=format)
All the signs seem positive for BTC at this point, with Trump using it as a major political ploy. Due to all the events surrounding the elections, attention will be high on crypto for the coming months.
ETH WEEKLY VIEW
![Crypto Market Pulse: July 22, 2024: Kairon Labs Crypto Market Insights - ETH](https://cdn.sanity.io/images/dzmgtty0/production/f3f12b75e94afdf093fc6a7c5c446a0b1995076d-1920x1061.jpg?w=3840&h=2122&q=80&fit=crop&auto=format)
With the ETH spot ETF going live on July 23rd, ETH will likely vacate the 3-4k range. If inflows are large enough, ETH could quickly trade upwards to ATHs.
ETH/BTC
![Crypto Market Pulse: July 22, 2024: Kairon Labs Crypto Market Insights - ETH/BTC](https://cdn.sanity.io/images/dzmgtty0/production/f3f12b75e94afdf093fc6a7c5c446a0b1995076d-1920x1061.jpg?w=3840&h=2122&q=80&fit=crop&auto=format)
ETH/BTC is surprisingly weak going into tomorrow's ETF launch. It seems BTC’s strength is coming from comments made about the elections. For ETH/BTC outperformance, the market likely needs large inflows on the ETF launch.
TOTAL3 USD MARKET STRENGTH
![Crypto Market Pulse: July 22, 2024: Kairon Labs Crypto Market Insights - TOTAL3/USD](https://cdn.sanity.io/images/dzmgtty0/production/54b8d25ee9a9b3a9df1f005ab12b924004292132-1920x1061.jpg?w=3840&h=2122&q=80&fit=crop&auto=format)
Alts are mostly still building new bases, with some select ones really outperforming. But most, after the large price declines, are just building larger ranges for now, with BTC and ETH taking center stage.
TOTAL3 BTC MARKET STRENGTH
![Crypto Market Pulse: July 22, 2024: Kairon Labs Crypto Market Insights - TOTAL3/BTC](https://cdn.sanity.io/images/dzmgtty0/production/b7e5ec7279f7c3122c660f0c6739cab1da778d07-1920x1061.jpg?w=3840&h=2122&q=80&fit=crop&auto=format)
TOTAL3/BTC is still chopping near range lows. For a general alt season to start, we’d want this ratio to break out of the range (above the red-marked area)
SUMMARY
- A lot of favorable points seem to be converging for the crypto market. The Fed is hinting more and more at rate cuts, which will likely result in a first cut in September. Together with the launching of the ETH ETF and BTC being a major topic for the elections, it seems attention to crypto will return sooner rather than later.
