🌙 00:00 CET – Daily Wrap-Up: Market Rebounds as Metaverse Assets Lead Growth – Top Movers of the Day

• Axie Infinity and The Sandbox: Since morning Axie Infinity has increased by 19.46%, The Sandbox by 10.53%.
  

Overview: The market narrative today was defined by a strong afternoon rally that broke a morning of stagnant, sideways movement. After establishing a local bottom early in the session, buyer interest accelerated, pushing the price action toward significant daily highs. Despite a sharp rejection late in the afternoon, the market showed technical resilience, maintaining a portion of its gains and entering a stable consolidation phase as the day concluded.

🔍 Market Insight: Overall sentiment remains cautiously balanced, with the NWST1100 index finishing slightly down by 0.13%. However, the massive outperformance of AXS and SAND highlights a focused capital rotation into Metaverse and Gaming projects, which moved independently of the broader market trend. Ether showed slightly more strength than Bitcoin, ending the 24-hour cycle in positive territory while the primary asset faced minor headwinds. While this may signal stabilization, the afternoon’s volatility suggests that while dips are being bought, the market remains sensitive to overhead resistance, and quiet phases often precede sharp moves.

NWSBCT (Blue Chips Index): The blue-chip index showcased a clear technical breakout today. After finding solid support near the 8.19 level in the morning, the index staged a powerful climb that peaked at approximately 8.265 during the late afternoon. This peak acted as a firm resistance level, triggering a rapid pullback. However, the index successfully stabilized near 8.22, confirming a successful defense of previous support zones and ending the day higher than its morning lows.

09:00 CET – Morning Pulse: Market Stabilizes Following Strong Overnight Recovery – Top Movers of the Day

• Axie Infinity and Berachain: Since midnight Axie Infinity has surged 19.86%, Berachain is 18.86% higher.
• Ronin has increased by 12.97%.
  

Overview: The market showcased a resilient narrative during the overnight session. After a period of significant volatility and a deep test of support levels late yesterday, the price action staged a robust V-shaped recovery. During the early morning hours, the market transitioned into a phase of calm consolidation, maintaining its recovered ground. The current sentiment is characterized by stability as the market holds steady within a horizontal range, following the successful defense of lower liquidity zones.

🔍 Market Insight: The broad market, as measured by the NWST1100 index, remains slightly in negative territory on a 24-hour basis (-0.38%), reflecting the impact of yesterday’s late sell-off. However, a strong divergence is visible in the gaming and ecosystem sectors, with AXS and RON posting substantial gains. Bitcoin and Ether are currently trading with a high degree of correlation, both down approximately 0.50% over the last 24 hours. While the major assets show a slight cooling phase, the recovery in the blue-chip index suggests that buyers are stepping in at established support levels. Historical patterns warn that such quiet phases often precede sharp moves, especially as the market consolidates just below previous resistance.

NWSBCT (Blue Chips Index): The technical profile of the NWSBCT index highlights a significant recovery from the daily low of 8.10. After the sharp bounce initiated late yesterday, the index successfully reclaimed the 8.20 level during the night. In the morning session, the index has established a tight consolidation zone between 8.19 and 8.21. A minor resistance level appears to be forming near 8.22, while the 8.18 level provides immediate technical support for the current range-bound movement.
