Crypto price news 7/4: Origin Protocol (OGN) outperforms Bitcoin, Ethereum, BNB and other

Crypto Crash News today (July 4): Crypto markets continue to remain in the “extreme fear” zone amid slugging trading activities and crises at several crypto companies. The global cryptocurrency market cap fell to $865 billion, decreasing 0.09 per cent over the day while Bitcoin traded around $19,000 in the last 24 hours. Prices of most of the top cryptos have also dropped further, according to CoinMarketCap data at the time of writing (12.58 pm, India time).

The global crypto market volume over the last 24 hours decreased 11 per cent to $37.71 billion. The total volume in DeFi was $3.99 billion, representing 10.58 per cent of the total crypto market 24-hour volume. The volume of all stablecoins was $34.54 billion, 91.6 per cent of the total crypto market 24-hour volume. 

Bitcoin (BTC) dominance is now 42.19 per cent. BTC price decreased by around 10.22 per cent in the last 24 hours. At the time of writing, BTC was trading at $19,099. In the last 7 days, BTC price has fallen by 10.16 per cent. 

“Bitcoin dropped by over 8% in the week that went by, languishing around the $19,000 level. The overall market sentiment has improved marginally but still remains in the “extreme fear” zone. Interestingly, on-chain data suggests that whales with over 1000 BTC are heavily accumulating the token despite the negative sentiment surrounding it. The daily trend for BTC is traversing within a descending channel pattern. The next key support is expected at $14,000. The daily RSI is a tad below the 30 level, reeling in the oversold zone,” analysts at WazirX Trade Desk shared in a note with FE Online. 

OGN outperforms BTC

Origin Protocol (OGN) has outperformed Bitcoin and other top cryptocurrencies in the last 24 hours. Ranked 158 on CoinmarketCap, OGN was trading 15.22% higher than yesterday at $0.323.

“Origin Protocol (OGN), a platform for building peer-to-peer marketplaces and e-commerce applications, gained over 20% in the last 24 hours to be the top performer and outperform Bitcoin considerably. The surge in price for OGN is probably due to its huge airdrop event scheduled for this month,” the analysts said. 

Vauld suspends withdrawals

Facing financial challenges, Coinbase-backed crypto exchange Vauld has suspended withdrawals, deposits and all trading activities on its platform. The exchange witnessed withdrawals worth over $197 million since 12th June.  

Crypto Rupe Index Change

Crypto Rupee Index (CRE8) by CoinSwitch increased 0.11 per cent in the last 24 hours to Rs 2257 at the time of writing. CRE8 tracks crypto market performance in INR. 

Narrow range price action

“Most of the top cryptocurrencies formed small candlesticks over the past few days. It indicates that the price action remained within a very narrow range. This consolidation spanning across a few days can usually be considered to be a good sign. It allows the market to recover from the bearish sentiments of the past couple of months. The key levels to watch out for would be $18,850 support and $21,000 resistance in bitcoin,” said Edul Patel, CEO and Co-founder of crypto investment platform Mudrex.
