In this report, we try to provide an overview of the crypto market during the last week with a different focus with respect to our other analyses. The focus will indeed be on market capitalization and based on this parameter the projects have been divided into three groups: top, medium, and small*. For each category, we provide insights about the overall performance of the group, the correlation between the various group components, and a special focus on the best/worst performing projects of each group.
The last seven days saw moderately positive performances overall in the cryptocurrency market. All the indexes overperformed BTC, which finished the week with a negative result. No one overperformed the others and the only clear trend going on is the overperformance of Altcoins with respect to BTC.
The mood of the market deteriorated in the final days of the analysis’ period at all levels of capitalization after reaching a peak during Jul 13th.
The level of correlation between the three groups was significantly low. Small-cap and Large-cap coins registered the lowest level of correlation at 0.14.
LARGE PROJECTS
The Large projects, i.e. our selection of coins with a high market capitalization, performed positively for the week and in line with the other three indexes.
Six coins registered a positive result, with three of them also reporting a double-digit gain. Overall, the results were in a range between -6.3% and +35.11%, with the median result being -1.87% and the overall performance skewed by the top performers. Overall, losses were not significant and no coin reported a double-digit loss.
The intra-group correlations were in line with last week at 0.6 on average, with Chainlink (LINK)Â posting the lowest level at circa 0.44.
