The leading coin broke to $30,416.75 late on Monday, after ending the week just under $30K. That rally did not hold far, and BTC returned to $29,380.81, though still showing the price can attempt to regain previous levels above $30,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>BTC still trades in a region that may invite accumulation, while possibly extending gains up to $35,000 and breaking the downward trend at lest in the short term. BTC is still expected to revisit previous lows under $30,000, and trading sentiment remains extremely fearful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>BTC remains more unstable, with the volatility index rising to 4.18% in the past month. In the course of a day, BTC also moved by hundreds of dollars, at one point threatening to go below $30K again.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Transactions also slowed down both in number and total value, leaving both the market and the network stagnant.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\ud83d\udcc9 <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Bitcoin?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Bitcoin<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%24BTC&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">$BTC<\/a> Median Transaction Volume (change-adjusted) (7d MA) just reached a 23-month low of $331.44<br><br>View metric:<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/k2Un2H1Y3v\">https:\/\/t.co\/k2Un2H1Y3v<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/CuyPnM1qFc\">pic.twitter.com\/CuyPnM1qFc<\/a><\/p>&mdash; glassnode alerts (@glassnodealerts) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/glassnodealerts\/status\/1528620736495116288?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 23, 2022<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>BTC still logs year-on-year losses, this time not repeating the peak price action from May 2021.

Based on market capitalization, the top 10 actually gives exposure to tokens with a deliberately high supply. This is the reason XRP is a fixture of the top 10 of coins and tokens, as well as projects like Cardano (ADA).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Previously hot assets like Avalanche (AVAX) are now out of the top 10 list. LUNA has already disappeared, still trying to reinstate a more predictable market price.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">73 coins have appeared and fallen out of the Top 10.

The token moved ahead of Shiba Inu (SHIB), trading at $0.076. TRX has remained relatively unchanged after the launch and expansion of USDD, a new stablecoin reported to be backed by multiple assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>USDD has now raised its supply to above 500M tokens, adding about 200M new tokens per day. There are already DeFi deposits for passive income, promising returns as high as 30% annualized. This outsized return raises some issues with risk, which cannot be completely covered with a growing TRX price.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TRX is one of the assets that has not rallied even close to $0.50 or $1, despite expectations that this would be a fair range for the token. Instead, TRX remained with a low per-unit price. Now, TRX will have to show its potential with the addition of a new stablecoin.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The biggest risk for TRON is suspicions that its TRON DAO repeats <a href=\"https:\/\/tradersofcrypto.com\/news\/is-celsius-still-in-danger-after-terra-crash\/\">the model of Terra<\/a> and may unravel if investors lose trust.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Ethereum Classic Has Flash Rally<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Ethereum Classic (ETC) had the strongest recovery, adding more than 15% to its price in a day. The asset was at $23.80, with expectations of closing in on $27.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ETC has outperformed in the past, rallying when seen as a substitute to Ethereum. This time, the problem with ETH 2.0 may drive builders and some investors back to Ethereum Classic.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is still no clear scenario for ETC, but one of the expectations is that the network may attract Ethereum miners if they become obsolete.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Ethereum?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Ethereum<\/a>\ud83d\udc9c may move to proof of stake in August! <br><br>This is bullish for <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%24ETC&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">$ETC<\/a>!\u2618\ufe0f\u2618\ufe0f\u2618\ufe0f<br><br>\ud83d\ude80\ud83d\ude80\ud83d\ude80 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/VEioDDtxm5\">https:\/\/t.co\/VEioDDtxm5<\/a><\/p>&mdash; ETC1000K (@ETC1000K) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ETC1000K\/status\/1527477588611964928?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 20, 2022<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The actual removal of ETH mining has been proposed for years, and may not happen as expected.
