The DeFi sector is absorbing a steady string of blows, pushing investors to be more cautious.

Major crypto assets are seeing a short-lived recovery phase, but it has yet to translate into a broader retracement. The rebound has so far been uneven across large-cap tokens. Key resistance and support areas remain the main focus for the next move.

XRP is showing signs of recovery, but the move has not yet developed into a broader market reversal. The rebound in activity points to improving conditions, even as a full turnaround remains out of reach. For now, the recovery trend is clear, but momentum still looks incomplete.

Microsoft has warned about a sophisticated crypto-stealing malware campaign dubbed CryptoBandits that has been active since at least February 2026. The malware spreads through infected USB drives and can hijack wallet addresses by replacing copied destinations. It also targets seed phrases and private keys to gain full access to victims’ wallets.

Buyers have slowed the selloff, but the rebound is losing volume. With heavy resistance overhead, price swings are likely to stay elevated. Volatility may persist until key support-turned-resistance areas are clearly reclaimed.

On June 17, Hyperliquid (HYPE) traded near $71 after another rally toward its all-time-high area, while Bitcoin rebounded toward $65,000 after dipping below $60,000. XRP recovered to around $1.25 from a drop under $1.30, and Dogecoin hovered near $0.086 as it tried to stabilize below key moving-average resistance.

Ethereum trading volume is surging as volatility returns to the market. The spike in activity has come alongside sharp price swings. It remains unclear whether the move will intensify from here.

XRP failed to break through a key resistance level at $1.30 after rebounding from lows near $1.08. The rejection suggests sellers remain active around former support, raising the risk of a deeper pullback.

A sharp rise in market volatility is reshaping the near-term outlook for major cryptocurrencies. The move is reviving the possibility of a shorter-term recovery, even as broader trends remain unsettled.
