Near, Aave and Graph rally as large-caps consolidate

September 23, 2024

AS the week begins, the crypto markets are seeing a mixed bag of action.

Large-cap coins like Bitcoin are playing it cool, consolidating after last week's price pulse. On the other hand, some of the smaller coins are having their moment.

Near, Aave, and The Graph are all up more than 8% over the past 24 hours. It's like the underdogs are stepping into the spotlight while the big players catch their breath.

Bitcoin’s price range this morning is relatively tight, indicating lower volatility. After briefly dipping below $63,000 over the weekend, it has bounced back above that level, but just barely. Ethereum, meanwhile, is doing a bit better - up more than 2%, and trading around $2,600.

With the Fear and Greed Index holding steady in neutral, it feels like the markets are still figuring out their next move. Investors are eyeing new consolidation levels, which makes sense given that we just had the first interest rate cut from the Fed in four years. Will we break to new highs, or is the market settling in for a quieter stretch?
