long term insights

  • Total spot selling pressure on the chain

  • Add new chips and destroy selling chips on the chain

(The figure below shows the total spot selling pressure on the chain)

The total spot selling pressure on the chain has entered a high stage.

At this stage, more new forces are generally needed to support the pressure.

ETF is a new force now, and we need to continue to pay attention to the status of ETF in the future.

Judging from the overall historical record of selling pressure, the bull market has entered the second half from this perspective.

(The picture below shows the addition of new chips and the destruction of selling chips on the chain)

The new chips on the chain began to slowly increase again.

This means that the supporting force of the market has appeared again.

There may be pressure up and down near new highs to digest the selling pressure.

The strength of the market's digestion of selling pressure mainly depends on the strength of the U.S. stock market during market hours.

mid-term exploration

  • Unrealized Profit/Loss Ratio Interval Status

  • Chip distribution - short-term, long-term structure

  • Short term player profit percentage compounding model

(The picture below shows the status of the unrealized profit and loss ratio range)

This model is used to evaluate the basic emotional state of users in the venue and determine the current profit and loss ratio in the venue from the perspective of unrealized profit and loss ratio.

Currently, the market is in a feverish stage, and the overall market has entered a relatively fanatical state.

The market continues to maintain a state of high profitability/excessive profitability. It may be that the overall profitability needs stronger new funds to promote it.

(The picture below shows chip distribution - short-term and long-term structure)

More than 95% of the nearby price levels are short-term chips, which means that the market has entered a rhythm in which short-term participants widely participate in the market.

In this state, the fluctuation range of the market may be larger because short-term participants are more concerned about costs.

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

Large groups with weak liquidity are currently in a state of increasing their holdings. What needs to be cautious is that the intensity of short-term participants' holdings has weakened slightly.

There may be more significant performance during the U.S. trading period.

Derivatives rating: The risk coefficient is in the danger zone, and the risk of derivatives is high.

(The figure below shows the risk coefficient of derivatives)

Last week, the market still showed continuous short squeezes. A large number of derivatives were liquidated, and the liquidation volume reached bull market levels. The current risk coefficient is still in the dangerous zone, and it is very easy to form a situation of double explosion of longs and shorts or a continuous short squeeze.

(The chart below shows the option transaction ratio)

The bearish protection ratio levels remain elevated. Options trading volume fell slightly.

(The figure below shows derivatives trading volume)

Derivatives trading volume is at low levels after the market short squeeze, and low levels mean that another change is close to happening.

Implied volatility has increased slightly in the short term.

Emotional state rating: FOMO

This week’s summary:

News summary:

  1. Powell's attitude has softened, the market has become more dovish, and the probability of an interest rate cut in June has become greater.

  2. At present, international capital and risk markets, such as US stocks, crypto assets and even gold prices, will place more expectations on the results when macro funds are transferred, so there is still room for growth.

  3. In the long term, the total funds used to allocate gold will be approximately 3.2 trillion US dollars. In the long term, there is still a lot of crypto space. Although it is not as exaggerated as the media highlights.

  4. When capital is allocated, the market will fluctuate violently. Although the bull market in the international capital market (U.S. stocks) may last for one year, two years or even longer in the future, the biggest increase will be when the early expectations have just been converted.

Long-term insights on the chain:

  1. The total spot selling pressure on the chain has entered a high stage;

  2. The number of new chips on the chain has begun to increase, adding further support to the market.

  • Market setting the tone:

Judging from the level of historical selling pressure, we have entered the second half of the market, and we need to pay attention to more new forces next.

On-chain mid-term exploration:

  1. The unrealized profit and loss status shows that the market has entered a feverish stage;

  2. Currently, 95% of them are short-term chips;

  3. The accumulation status of short-term players has weakened slightly.

  • Market setting the tone:

Fanaticism, risk control

The market has entered a feverish stage, so take appropriate risk control measures.

  1. The risk coefficient is in the danger zone, and the risk of derivatives is high.

  2. The number of new active addresses is relatively at the mid-range level.

  3. Market Sentiment State Rating: FOMO.

  4. The overall net position of the exchange shows a large outflow and accumulation state, and the selling pressure is low.

  6. Off-chain transaction data shows that there is a willingness to buy at the price of 65,000; there is a willingness to sell at the price of 72,000.

  7. The probability of not falling below 51,000~53,000 in the short term is 90%; the probability of not falling below 68,000~71,000 in the short term is 42%.

  • Market setting the tone:

The overall market performance is still strong, and the cost of short-term holders has risen rapidly and has reached around 50K. This week, the risk of large downward market fluctuations is still expected to be extremely low, and there may be two-way liquidation of derivatives or a sustained short squeeze.
