Market overview
Last week, BTC exhibited volatility and currently shows a double bottom pattern on the 4-hour chart, with lows at $60,775 and $62,270. Viewed on a daily scale, the market has experienced a primary correction from $73,777 to $60,775. It seems likely to sustain above the $60,775 level. The immediate focus remains on the $66,000 short-term support and the crucial mid-term resistance at $70,500. Should a breakout materialize, it would potentially signal the end of the current short-term market adjustment.
DEGEN token has broken its all-time high, with a market cap close to $200 million
Originally, Degen was a reward token for participants of the Farcaster Degen channel. It now has a substantial number of developers, crypto content creators, and enthusiasts, gradually becoming a leading memecoin in the Base ecosystem. As the Base ecosystem's Total Value Locked (TVL) exceeds $870 million, funds continue to flow into the Base. In the recent week, DEGEN has over tripled in price. Meanwhile, the top dex of the Base ecosystem, Aerodrome, saw its TVL increase by 22.8% in the last seven days, reaching $370 million. It's another crucial area to keep an eye on.

Based on the most recent on-chain data, Stani's three accounts continue to amass BONSAI, with holdings surpassing a value of 120,000 USDT. BONSAI's market cap currently stands at $14.19 million. Given the upcoming Lens token issuance and anticipated public chain expectations, BONSAI merits continuous attention.
