LAST WEEK RECAP:

• Powell indicated cut ahead and mentioned, “The time has come for policy to adjust” at Jackson Hole, though he didn't comment on the exact timing or extent.

• Telegram CEO Pavel Durov arrested at French airport.

• Babylon mainnet goes live.

• Magic Eden announced the launch of its new token, ME.

• Sony to launch Ethereum L2 Soneium to “realize the open internet".

LEGACY MARKETS – DXY

DXY is right on range low, with crypto and equities seeing quite the upward trust. If DXY consolidates or breaks down out of the range, both equities and crypto have a lot of upside.

LEGACY MARKETS – VIX

VIX is still below 21, with some consolidation happening above the previous 12-14 range. This could still lead to small intermediate spikes. How much effect those will have after all the big liquidations is a question, though.

BTC WEEKLY VIEW

BTC closed above 59k on the weekly chart and is now back in the ATH range, which can likely be reached quite quickly at this point after all the liquidations.

ETH WEEKLY VIEW

ETH/BTC is consolidating after the tag of multi-year support. The ETH/BTC ratio is still trading "slow," but as mentioned last week, if there ever was a point for ETH to take over, it's now. There is underlying strength in ALT/BTC ratios, and the NFT market on ETH is also gaining some strength.
