- Bitcoin rises towards $65,000 on Monday, gaining nearly 4% on the day.
- Ethereum adds over 3% to trade above $2,500.
- XRP edges up above $0.53 but trades within its recent range.
Bitcoin, Ethereum and XRP updates
- Bitcoin (BTC) Spot Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) recorded merely two days of positive flows out of five last week. Bitcoin ranges close to $65,000 at the time of writing, even as institutional demand slows.
- Ethereum (ETH) climbs above $2,500 on Monday, even as Spot Ether ETFs struggle to gain relevance among institutional investors. Spot ETH ETFs recorded three days of flows last week, after days of inactivity, according to data from Farside Investors.
- XRP holds recent gains, trading above $0.5300 on Monday as traders await updates in the Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC) lawsuit.
Chart of the day: Ethena (ENA)
Ethena (ENA) broke out of its downward trend during the weekend. The token ranks among the assets that yielded high gains for traders in the last 24 hours on the Binance spot market, with 21.72% gains in that timeframe. ENA added nearly 14% to its value on Monday.
The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator shifted to green histogram bars above the neutral line in the daily chart. This implies that there is positive underlying momentum in ENA’s price trend.
ENA could break past resistance at $0.4800 and rally towards the June 29 high at $0.5290. This marks over 30% gains from the current level, around $0.4000. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) reads 66.78, still below the overbought level of 70.
ENA/USDT daily chart
A daily candlestick close below the 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at $0.3799 could invalidate the bullish thesis. In that case, ENA could sweep liquidity at the support of the 10-day EMA at $0.3053, as seen on the daily chart.
