Long-term insight: used to observe our long-term situation; bull market/bear market/structural change/neutral state

Mid-term exploration: used to analyze what stage we are currently in, how long this stage will last, and what situations we will face

Short-term observation: used to analyze short-term market conditions; and the likelihood of certain directions and events occurring under certain conditions

Long-term insights

  • High quality throwing pressure
  • Global place of purchase status

(Below, high quality selling pressure)

The high-quality selling pressure in the current period is continuing to decline and has reached a situation close to the low range.

The intensity of selling pressure in the market has dropped significantly from a few months ago.

(Figure below, the state of global purchasing power)

Global purchasing power is diminishing.

In the past four years, I have experienced three situations:

One is on the eve of March 12, 2020;

One is by the end of 2022.

One is now.

Most dates have gone through a long period of malaise.

The current overall situation is selling pressure in reducing purchasing power, but also in the reduction, the two sides need to reach a critical point, even to squeeze the situation.

Interim exploration

  • Online emotional positivity
  • Accumulation coefficient of giant whale
  • Short-term profit percentage compound model

(Below, online emotional positivity)

The market gradually came out of a state of poor stage.

Liquidity is gradually slowing down, and the market may be in a state of repair.

There may be a weak repair trend for good overall.

(Figure below, the accumulation coefficient of the giant whale)

Judging from the situation of the giant whale, the whole is still accumulating a little bit.

Perhaps they fell into a wait-and-see mood and did not choose to actively participate in the current market.

In the current situation, the observation of such large groups still needs to be closely followed up.

At the same time, standing in the stock market point of view, may participate in the enthusiasm of the decline will lead to price volatility is too biased.

(Figure below, short-term profit percentage composite model)

From the perspective of the loss of short-term participants, the market lacks new forces.

At the same time, it also means that the liquidity in the market is still reduced, which may weaken the magnitude of price changes.

The accumulation group is still in the state of hovering and increasing, and it may switch back and forth in the tone of wait-and-see and repair.

Short-term observations

  • Risk coefficient of derivatives

(Figure below, option intention transaction ratio)

Option turnover has increased significantly, and the proportion of put options has increased slightly compared with last week and is at a moderate level.

(Figure below, derivative trading volume)

Emotional state rating: Neutral on the cold side

(Figure below, profit and loss transfer amount)

The change in the amount of loss transfer did not change much compared with last week, and the amount of loss transfer was still in a downward state after a slight increase. Positive emotions and panic are not there.

(Figure below, add address and active address)

New and active addresses on the chain are currently at a high level. Indicates that the active level on the chain is good. In addition, extending the timeline to observe the sudden increase of new active addresses on the past chain may indicate that a certain amount of fluctuations is coming.

Spot and selling structure rating: overall showing a small amount of inflow state, selling pressure is low.

(Below, the rock sugar orange exchange net position)

The pie has a medium inflow, and the current inflow has been digested.

This week’s summary:

News surface summary:

  1. Judging from the recent Beige Book released by the Federal Reserve, the overall situation is more moderate. This shows that policymakers are shifting the direction of policy towards ending the tightening cycle.
  2. Recently, many institutions such as UBS and Goldman Sachs have begun to change their views on the recession, believing that the corporate recession may be nearing the end and a new cycle may usher in the future.

At present, the current pace of Monetary Policy is shifting from tightening to easing buffer phase.

Similarly, many members of the Federal Reserve have also released wind from multiple angles to express caution.

There is no good reason to look for a bear market in a monetary easing cycle, unless the asset itself has no value.

The future will slowly shift to an easing cycle as time passes.

In the short term:

Pay attention to the financial transactions before the end of the year.

Long-term insights on the chain:

  • Market setting:

Repair, wait and see

The market is coming out of a state of poor stage, but the overall wait-and-see atmosphere is heavy, and there are fewer new funds.

In this state, it is suitable for slow rhythm and should not be aggressive.
