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 insight

  • Spot selling pressure on chain
  • Exchange position status

(Below, on-chain spot selling pressure)

Spot selling pressure reached its lowest point in eight years.

At present, the selling pressure of spot goods is almost negligible, and it has reached the lowest stage in history. The market pressure is the easiest in eight years.

Easy enough to squeeze the market upward with just a little purchasing power.

(Figure below, exchange position status)

Participants are still actively hoarding coins, but the corresponding frequency and amount of hoarding coins have begun to decrease.

The existing coin volume of the exchange is also at its lowest level in several years.

Active hoarding behavior has occurred in the past two months.

The current market has reached the lowest freezing point in eight years of selling pressure, and buying and hoarding coins are still quietly advancing.

If the market remains like this, it may experience an upward squeeze in the next 1–2 quarters.

Mid-term exploration

  • Short-term profit percentage composite model
  • Proportion of long-term and short-term participants
  • Exchange futures leverage as a percentage
  • Exchange Trend Net Position
  • Online emotional positivity
  • Purchasing power differential

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

From the medium-term state, short-term participants are in a relatively hovering position, and the direction of increase and decrease is not very clear, but overall, the rhythm of reducing holdings has temporarily stopped at this stage.

The accumulative group is still growing, and the pace of hoarding coins remains unchanged. The medium and long-term fundamentals are still relatively positive.

However, the growth rate has slowed down, and the overall pace may also be adjusting. The market as a whole needs time to replace more space.

Therefore, the problem of liquidity loss in the short term has been temporarily alleviated.

(Figure below, ratio of long-term and short-term participants)

From the perspective of the proportion of participants,

The proportion of participants holding for 6 months to 2 years is currently greater than that of participants holding for 1–3 months.

Perhaps the overall tone has returned to a relatively conservative level, with the proportion of longer-term participants increasing, accompanied by the loss of short-term participants.

Of course, the reaction to the field needs to take into account the selling pressure situation.

Take a deep look at the position changes of the exchange balance on the exchange.

(Figure below, exchange trend net position)

In the trend net position, the current situation is still in a relatively weak accumulation state.

It may still be in a slow-paced accumulation state overall.

(Figure below, online emotional positivity)

On-chain active levels are still growing at a slower rate, and a relative medium-term trend may be forming.

If the current trend does not encounter significant selling pressure in the medium term or rapid selling pressure under weakened liquidity, the secondary market may perform well in the next 1–2 months.

(Figure below, purchasing power difference)

Purchasing power has weakened slightly, which may have some impact in the near future.

Comprehensive chain positivity, the current may be a relative weakening of the buyer’s power, but the overall still has a certain level of activity.

Short-term observation

  • Risk factor of derivatives
  • Option intention-to-trade ratio
  • Derivatives trading volume
  • Implied volatility of options
  • Profit-loss transfer
  • Add addresses and active addresses
  • Bingtang Orange Exchange Net Position
  • Net position of the Aunt Exchange
  • High weight selling pressure
  • Global purchasing power status
  • Stablecoin exchange net position
  • Off-chain exchange data

Derivatives rating: risk factor in danger zone, increased risk

(Figure below, risk coefficient of derivatives)

While prices have risen, the risk factor has also fallen back to the danger zone.

Although the risk coefficient alone may limit the space for the current price to continue to rise, even if the risk of derivatives increases, it may still cause the price to continue to break through and form a large-scale short roll because there is currently no large-scale short roll.

(Figure below, option intention-to-trade ratio)

The trading volume of options has decreased significantly, and the proportion of put options has decreased moderately compared with last week. It is currently at a median level.

(Figure below, derivatives trading volume)

Although prices have risen, the current trading volume of derivatives remains at a low level without much fluctuation, indicating that derivatives traders are currently in a wait-and-see state.

(Figure below, implied volatility of options)

Options implied volatility increased slightly and options traders active levels increased slightly.

Emotional state rating: neutral

(Figure below, profit and loss transfer amount)

In the past few weeks, market sentiment has been in a neutral and cool state. The positive sentiment in the market this week has slightly increased with the rise in prices, and panic is still at a low level.

The current price has reached the cost range for short-term holders. This week, we are still concerned about the market panic represented by loss transfer volume.

(Figure below, add address and active address)

There has been a significant decrease in new addresses this week, and a small decrease in active addresses.

Spot and selling pressure structure rating: Overall, it shows a cumulative outflow state, with low selling pressure.

(Below, the net position of the Bingtang Orange Exchange)

The pancake is currently in a small amount of outflow.

(Net position of E-Pacific Exchange in the figure below)

E is currently in a trace inflow state.

(Figure below, high weight selling pressure)

There is currently no high weight selling pressure.

Purchasing power rating: Global purchasing power rebounded slightly, while stable currency purchasing power rebounded slightly.

(Figure below, global purchasing power status)

The purchasing power of all three continents has rebounded, with Asia experiencing the largest increase in purchasing power.

USDC is currently in a small inflow state.

(Net position of USDT exchange in the figure below)

This week’s summary:

News summary:

  1. The crypto fund management industry is currently around $450- $50 billion in size and has the ability to exceed $500 billion in five years with ETF approvals, capital expected hype, and more. These demands will come from investment advisors, wealth and private banking products, and the ability to easily access BTCETFs in direct brokerage accounts.
  2. It will indirectly cause two to three times the leverage amplification effect, that is, the inflow space for the current market value to expand 2–3 times.
  3. In terms of encryption policies, reports released by European and American countries, such as the Federal Reserve, are actively building and paving the way for a policy environment for encryption.

Technology side:

The tide of the times has also come, as technology companies led by Open Ai are pushing the industry forward.

In a century, few individuals or corporate organizations can directly promote the development of industries and times, which is quite a great feat.

With the canary release test of the latest GPT4 small v visual version, it has been revealed that it will be trained in 2022. We can expect the MultiModal Machine Learning support of GPT5 (perhaps other names) in the next year.

It may change the auxiliary creation in other fields such as education, engineering, sports rehabilitation, design and painting.

At the same time, within a year, Apple’s AR will also be released, and the encrypted ETF may be likely to be passed.

If WEB3 changes the world’s new financial order and organizational form, then AI and AR change the world’s new generation and interaction patterns.

The prototype of all of this will come in the next 1–5 years.

At the same time, on the financial and economic side, with the Fed’s interest rate cuts in the next two years, the ten-year US Treasury bond yield will turn and fall, and the anchor of asset pricing will also change.

The market style will face a new transformation.

You have your own plans, and the world has other plans.

The future may witness the birth of a new era and the birth of a new history.
