Indonesia to launch crypto exchange in July: Report
Crypto Indonesia is set to launch a cryptocurrency exchange in July. The exchange aims to provide Indonesian investors with a regulated platform to buy, sell, and trade cryptocurrencies. As Indonesia is a significant emerging market with a growing interest in cryptocurrencies, this new exchange could contribute to increased adoption and investment opportunities in the country. Regulatory compliance will be a key factor in the exchange's success, as it aims to build trust and confidence among users and authorities. The launch of a local exchange may also promote financial inclusion by providing access to digital assets for a broader audience in Indonesia.
Today marks an important day in the equity market for two main reasons: The Nasdaq 100 index is set to rebalance which may push some market participants to bring their portfolio in line with the benchmark before the changes take effect on Monday. Also, $2.4 trillion worth of US equity options are set to expire this Friday. The market is expected to witness a surge in trading volume accompanied with potential wild price swings.
Moving on with the cryptocurrency market, BTCUSDT keeps flirting with the recent lows and is picking up volume in that price range. We’ve warned clients before that most spikes will get rejected and are to be sold. We may very well witness another rebound back at the $30,000 mark but as long as prices remain below 30,450, we expect to retest the lows and eventually break them to the downside.
ETHBTC keeps hesitating around this 0.064 level. Every time we touch this level the ratio starts to pull back. If we can break above this level it would signify that ETH is set to outperform BTC in the near future.
Lots of moves taking place in the altcoin market: LINK jumped by over 20% recently as whales have been accumulating following the release of the cross chain interoperability protocol (CCIP) earlier this week. We are bullish on DOGE, UNI, LINK, LTC, RNDR, SOL and more.
Altcoin Watch - Cosmos (ATOM)
Blockchain interoperability project Wormhole has announced the release of the Wormhole Gateway, an application-specific blockchain (appchain) developed within the Cosmos ecosystem. The blockchain aims to connect multiple Cosmos chains and applications through a single cross-chain liquidity router.
The initial phase of the Gateway will link 23 Cosmos-based chains, including prominent chains like Osmosis, Evmos, Neutron and Sei. Plans are already underway to integrate more chains, all of which will utilize the Cosmos' native messaging protocol, the inter-blockchain communication protocol (IBC). With this, Gateway would serve as a competitor to interoperability protocols like Axelar that already connect Cosmos-based chains.
ATOM/USDT - Price has been within clear bearish structure on the daily chart since Feb '23. Price is currently failing to breach the 10.00 price level., as we expect the wick left at 7.00 to be mitigated in the coming days/weeks.
