Various multi-asset funds that have a basket of cryptocurrencies resisted the downtrend in the third week of June by receiving $10 million in inflows.

Current Market Situation as of June 23, 2021

BTC	$34,029.60
ETH	$2,000.85
Ratio	0.05911

Currently, investors are trading Bitcoin at $34,029, which recovered marginally after its combined market value declined by 50 percent ($1.4 trillion) since it peaked in May.

Although on-chain metrics are showing positive signs of a rebound, long-term asset holders bought Bitcoin holders overlooking newer wallets. Overall market sentiment still has a downward trend because of negative headlines.

Also, after China has imposed a ban on Bitcoin mining, it has weighed down Bitcoin and the impending unlocking of 16,000 bitcoins by Grayscale in July. As a result, the investors’ response seems sluggish.
