IMX, AVAX, HASH Rise Amid Stagnant Major Cryptocurrencies

The biggest cryptocurrencies traded sluggishly as traders awaited the Federal Reserve meeting. Solana's [SOL](https://holder.io/coins/) stood out with near-record open interest in CME-listed futures.

  • Privacy-focused Monero ([XMR](https://holder.io/coins/)) rose 6% over 24 hours despite a significant blockchain reorganization. Other gainers included IMX, up nearly 13%, AVAX, adding 6%, and HASH, trading 4% higher.
  • Key market indicators signal increased volatility after the Fed decision.
  • ETF MVRV ratio climbed to 2.29, with strong institutional bids noted.
  • Spot cumulative volume delta weakened, indicating a mismatch between momentum and participation, setting the stage for potential retracement or follow-through depending on Fed outcomes.

Derivatives Positioning

  • Most major cryptocurrencies, including [BTC](https://holder.io/coins/) and [ETH](https://holder.io/coins/), face capital outflows from futures, reducing open interest.
  • AVAX saw open interest rise over 14% as its market cap targets $13 billion.
  • Solana's open interest reached a record high, with positive funding rates indicating bullish inflows.
  • On CME, Solana futures open interest pulled back slightly but maintained an annualized premium above 15%.
  • [BTC](https://holder.io/coins/) CME open interest is improving, yet overall positioning remains lighter compared to ETH and SOL futures.
  • The bias for BTC and ETH put options eases across tenors as traders anticipate Fed rate cuts; SOL and XRP options remain bullish.
  • On Paradigm, block flows featured BTC calendar spreads and shorting of call and put options.

Token Talk

  • IMX is up 15% in the past 24 hours with daily trading volume doubling to $144 million, reaching a five-month high.
  • Positive sentiment around Immutable is due to a dropped SEC probe and optimism in the gaming sector, projected to reach $200 billion in revenue this year.
  • Immutable has partnered with Ubisoft for the next iteration of Might and Magic Fates.
  • Blockchain technology may enhance gaming by enabling in-game ownership through NFTs.
  • IMX is currently trading at $0.736, having broken resistance, with potential support testing at $0.70 if trading volumes persist.
