Crypto Market Sentiment Research Report (2024.08.23-08.30): August shock correction, wait-and-see new trends

The market fluctuated and corrected in August, and we are waiting to see the new trend of the market

Data source: coinmarketcap

After the release of non-agricultural data in early August, the mainstream currency market experienced a sharp drop in price. Subsequently, the market has repeatedly experienced a trend of rising and falling, and the implied volatility has gradually declined from the highest level on August 5, and the overall market has shown a wide range of fluctuations. The current market urgently needs the guidance of a new round of economic data to promote the development of the next stage of the market.

The market generally expects the Fed to announce a rate cut at its meeting on September 19. However, the new non-farm payrolls data to be released on September 6 will be key. If the data is strong, it will significantly reduce the probability of the Fed cutting interest rates in mid-September. In addition, the PPI and CPI data to be released on September 11 and September 12 will also be closely watched. If these inflation indicators do not show a significant decline, it will also reduce the possibility of the Fed cutting interest rates. Therefore, investors need to pay close attention to the upcoming economic data to judge future market trends.

There are about 19 days until the next Federal Reserve interest rate meeting (September 19, 2024)

Original author: Eden Au , The Block Original translation: Felix, PANews Key points: ACP-77 is a community proposal that will change the validator dynamics for Avalanche L1 (formerly known as subnets). Avalanche L1 validators will no longer need to validate the main network and stake at least 2,000 AVAX. Instead, they will follow the requirements set by the sovereign Avalanche L1. Avalanche L1 validators will pay an ongoing dynamic fee to register information on the P-Chain. The proposal benefits both institutional and retail Avalanche L1 as regulatory compliance and low barriers to entry for validators can be achieved. Avalanche has long been a proponent of horizontal scaling using “subnets,” which are now being rebranded as Avalanche Layer 1 (L1). Avalanche L1s are sovereign, often application-specific blockchains that can be individually…
