The crypto market showed signs of recovery on Tuesday as concerns regarding the distribution of 140,000 BTC from the defunct exchange Mt. Gox eased. Bitcoin traded above $61,000 after hitting a low of $58,580. The CoinDesk 20 Index (CD20) also bounced back to 2,083 points from 2,020.

Analysts suggest that the recent movement in BTC, often considered a liquidity indicator for macro traders, may signal a decrease in market liquidity. This contrasted with Nasdaq’s performance, which recorded a 5% gain while BTC is down nearly 10% for the month.
2024 U.S. Presidential Elections Prediction
Traders on the decentralized predictions platform Polymarket have favored Donald Trump over Joe Biden in the upcoming 2024 U.S. Presidential Elections. Trump is currently seen as the frontrunner with a 57% chance of winning.
Spot Ether ETFs Analysis
