Stacks Price Recovery: Key Insights for Cryptocurrency Investors

The Stacks (STX) price has experienced a notable recovery this week, influenced by the strong performance of Bitcoin and other altcoins. The STX token has increased for four consecutive days, reaching $1.6774, which is approximately 32% above its lowest point this month. This rebound has elevated its market cap to over $2.4 billion.

Stacks’ Recovery Continues

As a layer-2 network for the Bitcoin network, Stacks has benefited from Bitcoin’s ongoing rebound. Bitcoin has risen from last week’s low of $53,700 to over $58,000. This increase has positively impacted the altcoin market, with coins such as Aave, Uniswap, Lido DAO, and Jasmy seeing double-digit gains.

Additionally, Stacks has seen growth in its Decentralized Finance (DeFi) ecosystem. The network’s total value locked (TVL) has increased from last month’s low of 44.6 million STX to over 53 million STX. In dollar terms, the TVL has jumped from June’s low of $60.2 million to $80 million. Most dApp networks in Stacks, including StackingDAO, Zest, Alex, and Bitflow, have experienced over 15% TVL growth in the past seven days.

Moreover, the newly launched Grayscale Stacks Trust (STX) has seen its assets rise to over $2.1 million, indicating growing demand.

Potential Risks for Stacks’ Price Recovery

Despite the recent gains, the Stacks price recovery faces three main risks:

  • Dead Cat Bounce: The current rebound could be a temporary recovery in a strong downtrend.
  • Death Cross: The STX token formed a death cross on June 24th, a pattern that typically signals further downside. This occurs when the 200-day and 50-day Exponential Moving Averages (EMA) cross.
  • Bitcoin’s Challenges: Bitcoin faces significant hurdles, such as ongoing miner capitulation and the movement of coins from German and Mt. Gox wallets to exchanges. These factors could impact Bitcoin’s price, and by extension, affect Stacks and other altcoins.

In a recent statement, crypto investor Anthony Pompliano warned that these releases and lower volume could impact Bitcoin’s price. Additionally, Ki Young Ju noted that Bitcoin might hover between $47,000 and $48,000 for a while, suggesting that the market can absorb the potential liquidity dumps from German and Mt. Gox creditors.

“Despite potential liquidity dumps from the German govt and Mt. Gox creditors, the Bitcoin market can absorb it with an estimated -10.5% impact. Say $47-48K level. Mt. Gox and govt BTC selling won’t end this cycle.” – Ki Young Ju

These factors could impact Stacks prices due to the close correlation between Bitcoin and other altcoins.
