<p>The cryptocurrency markets have hit a two-month high, led by Bitcoin’s immense 10% move just this week. While the overall market has been in a 10-week long downtrend, the recent surge has managed to reclaim almost all of the losses since crypto’s YTD peak.</p>

<p>EDX Markets, a cryptocurrency exchange launched by Citadel securities and backed by some of the heaviest hitters in capital markets, also launched yesterday (21st June), with four cryptocurrencies being offered on the platform.</p>

<p>The U.S. Dollar Index, also known as the DXY, recently hit a monthly low of 102, close to the bottom of its 52 week range.</p>

<p>Historically, Bitcoin and other risk assets have traded opposite to the DXY, with a low DXY correlating with bullish crypto price action.</p> 
<p>With more countries<a href="https://www.reuters.com/markets/currencies/vast-china-russia-resources-trade-shifts-yuan-dollars-ukraine-fallout-2023-05-11/"> shying away </a>from the U.S. Dollar, with some even choosing to settle the majority of their trades in other currencies, the Dollar’s strength has started to wane.</p>

<p>Furthermore, while the U.S. Federal Reserve has yet to make any rate cuts, their recent decision to pause rate hikes during the previous FOMC meeting <a href="https://chaindebrief.com/how-interest-rates-affect-crypto-market/">could be a good sign for crypto.</a></p>

<p>Companies like Apple and Microsoft also saw significant gains in the same period, but their growth were dwarfed by Nvidia, which saw a massive rally following their April earnings release, and swiftly rose to claim a $1 trillion market capitalization.</p>
