Encrypted ecological news

  1. Keyrock research shows that 88% of the tokens that were airdropped when they were issued this year have seen a drop in price, with most plummeting within 15 days. Three months later, few tokens have been able to produce positive results, and only a few have been able to buck the trend. Projects with excessively high FDV (fully diluted market capitalization) typically find it difficult to maintain momentum as the expected upside becomes limited.

  2. Lookonchain said that ETH destruction increased by 163% month-on-month in the past week. Before the ETH price increase in January and October 2023, there were surges in daily ETH destruction.

  3. 10x Research analyzed that if the $65,000 level is broken, it will mean a reversal of the downward trend, and a new high may be set in the fourth quarter. The medium-term reversal indicator has been fully corrected, indicating that the downward trend may have ended.

Long-term insights: 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; the possibility of certain directions and certain events occurring under certain conditions



Long-term insights

  • High quality selling pressure

  • Short-term participant costs

  • US purchasing power

  • Staged stock top


(Figure below: high-quality selling pressure)

Judging from the performance of high-weight participants, there has not been much selling.

This eliminates a major hidden danger for the market.


(Figure below shows short-term participant costs)

The cost of short-term participants is rising and is gradually approaching around 63,000. There may be a psychological rivet range near the price. From the perspective of behavioral finance, it may be a temporary support.


(The picture below shows the purchasing power of the US market)

Buying power in the US market has resumed, which means that participants in the US time zone have seen a significant shift in their purchases compared to previous weeks, and larger purchases have occurred in the most recent week.


(The figure below shows the top of the staged inventory)

The stage inventory top shows that the price is about 70,000; this means that at this price, long-term participants may be willing or possible to sell, but it is not the top of the long cycle, it may be a stage.

So you need to pay attention to risks and market pressure in this area.



Mid-term exploration

  • Short-term profit percentage compounding model

  • Whale comprehensive scoring model

  • Stablecoin supply net position

  • Total selling pressure on the chain


(The figure below shows the short-term profit percentage compound model)

Green area: short-term high-ratio profit area

Red area: short-term high loss ratio area

Blue line: accumulation coefficient

Yellow line: Short-term supply

This model explores the short-term profitability ratio from the perspective of supply.

It is not at an extreme point at present. It is possible that short-term chips are generating high selling pressure, or active supply has not occurred.

The short-term supply and accumulation coefficient in the market have stagnated slightly, but are still on an upward trend.

The market may face a certain degree of suspension or adjustment.


(The following figure shows the comprehensive scoring model of the giant whale)

There are signs that the whales are slowing down their pace of entry.


(Figure below shows the net position of stablecoin supply)

The current supply of stablecoins is still increasing, and the market may tend to be in a stage of accumulation or building up momentum.

As purchasing power continues to rise, there may not be a decline in capital sentiment in the market.


(Figure below shows the total selling pressure of spot on the chain)

There was no excessive selling pressure on the chain during this rise.

There are no signs of large transactions that may be close to those in January-March 2024.

At present, participants may be more cautious and patient.

Summary of news:

  1. Starting from last Thursday night, members of the Federal Reserve have been speaking together, and the market has been pricing in the extent of this year's interest rate cuts. The dovish signals have further paved the way for the Fed to cut interest rates.

  2. The biggest impact of interest rate cuts on the market is the reserves of money funds. Shaking the reserves of money funds and flowing them from the original pool to the pool of other risky assets will be real money. The spring of risky assets has arrived.

  3. Normally, bull and bear markets come from market confidence. When market confidence is insufficient, it is often difficult to fall. Currently, market confidence comes from the Federal Reserve's continuous interest rate cuts.

  4. Judging from the overall attitude, Wall Street and the Federal Reserve are very eager to implement continuous interest rate cuts as soon as possible. There will be a large room for interest rate cuts from the end of this year to next year, which may be larger than expected.

  5. Fundamentally speaking, the current interest rate given by the Federal Reserve is not enough to shake the money market. When the interest rate cuts continue to accelerate, it will shake the money market, and there will be a second round of large funds flowing in.
