In an interview with Reuters, Sam Bankman-Fried said that prices have reached a fair degree of stability and the majority of the crisis is now over. Sam’s views were also endorsed by CryptoGodJohn, a major crypto trader and influencer. He has also confirmed that the stability of the prices points that the worst is over.

Also, short selling data for the month of June point out that the crypto crisis has bottomed out. Last month the US short-selling in stocks and cryptocurrencies was month’s $ 60 billion. This month the figure is $20 billion. This is a clear indication that the worst could be over for the crypto sector.

As per a report by Forbes a crashing crypto market would have convinced the short-sellers to expect a rebound and lower their positions. The crypto sector has already lost 75% of its values and the investors are still wary of any further reductions.
