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

  • Expenditure of long-term and short-term participants

  • Total spot selling pressure

  • Large net positions on exchanges

  • US Crypto ETFs


(Figure below shows the expenditures of long-term and short-term participants)

Large expenditures (sells) at the thresholds in the green range box generally put some pressure on prices.

It may even create stage tops and cycle tops.

It has not yet reached the high level or warning position.


(Figure below: Total spot selling pressure)

The red range of the total spot selling pressure generally implies a relatively low selling pressure, and most of it in the market usually shows the bottom of the market stage.

It has now moved out of the low selling pressure range, but the amount of selling pressure in the market has not increased.


(The following figure shows large net positions on exchanges)

The large inflows and outflows of the exchange show that the market has had a large outflow in recent days, which means that large-scale participants have generated more buying chips.

Compared with the sluggish performance in the previous two weeks, this is a good sign.


(Figure below: US Crypto ETF)

The US ETF is still in positive territory, which shows that US institutions and participants have become interested in the current price of cryptocurrencies, which may be related to some macro reasons.

And the large net positions show that there is a certain correlation between ETFs and net positions, which means that large buy orders are caused by ETFs, and a single order of more than 10 million US dollars means more direct purchases by over-the-counter institutions.



Mid-term exploration

  • Whale comprehensive scoring model

  • Whale Exchange Net Position

  • Positive sentiment on the Internet

  • Incremental Model


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

The situation of the whale remains at the "high" level.
Maybe the overall situation is still in a good state.


(The following figure shows the net position of the whale exchange)

The giant whales are depositing large amounts of coins into exchanges, which increases the pressure on the market.
Currently, whales are withdrawing coins in small amounts, and the potential selling pressure in the market has been alleviated to a certain extent.


(Figure below: Network sentiment positivity)

There has been a slight repair in online sentiment, and the recent situation may have improved.


(Incremental model below)

The incremental model shows that supply from short-term players has picked up and is currently stuck and paused.
Maybe the overall situation has improved.

Judging from today's situation, the market has already completed the stage with the largest increase, and the next stage of growth may require an increase in the increase.

This week’s summary:

Summary of news:

  1. As mentioned in last month’s weekly report, the market will enter a repair phase in May, and the market has already seen relative repair.

  2. Concerns about "secondary inflation" in the United States have eased, economic indicators and CPI are weak, and the possibility of the Federal Reserve cutting interest rates this year is emerging.

  3. The U.S. stock index hit a new high, and the cryptocurrency rebounded by 10 points. As U.S. employment and economic indicators weaken, it is expected that inflation will be difficult to rebound in the later period, and discussions on interest rate cuts will increase.

  4. Market support gradually strengthened until the rate cut was fully priced in, and as the rate cut went from 5.5 to 2.5, the market fully digested the rate cut to 2.5.

  5. Even before the expectation of "no more interest rate cuts" reverses, the capital market and risk market will form relatively obvious support before that and complete this relatively long round of monetary easing period.


On-chain long-term insights:

  1. Judging from the total spot selling pressure, the market selling pressure is not high;

  • Market setting:

Market sentiment is neutral to bullish, purchasing power levels have slightly rebounded this week, and market selling pressure is relatively low.

Although the current price may face some resistance in the short term based on the risk factor of the core indicator, the probability of a sharp decline in the market is low when considering other indicators and the short-term holder cost line has risen to around 61K.
