What is OI? 🛫

Open Interest (OI) represents the total number of outstanding futures or options contracts that haven’t been settled yet 🕯

For each buyer of a futures contract there must be a seller. From the time the buyer or seller opens the contract until the counter-party closes it, that contract is considered 'open'.

↗️ Right now, Bitcoin-denominated open Interest (orange line) sits lower than in the last bull run, revealing more subdued leverage usage.

👀 Traders appear cautious, entering fewer high-risk futures bets. This signals a shift from peak speculation toward steadier, possibly more institutional-driven activity.

This more balanced stance can reduce the likelihood of sudden price collapses driven by mass liquidations (like last time in 2022) 🐻

How to check your crypto airdrops 🔍

Airdrops are free token distributions. They can appear months after you’ve used a certain protocol or held a specific NFT, easily slipping under the radar 👁

For instance, one user discovered $1,000 worth of tokens in an old wallet they rarely checked, all thanks to simple scanning tools designed for this purpose 👇

🪂 Checkdrop by Byzantine is very good if you have no idea which airdrop you are eligible of receiving. This service only supports EVM wallets.

🪂 Checker by DiligenceDAO offers a similar service but it's more useful if you need to check many different wallets. This checker supports more networks, for example Solana and Grass.

So far this year, the Federal Reserve has made two rate cuts. Now, another major decision is happening today at the FOMC meeting. Federal Reserve is expected to make a 3rd consecutive rate cut 👀

Markets are pricing in around a 95.4% chance that the Fed will cut rates today 📊

Why does this matter? Because markets aren’t just watching whether the Fed cuts by another 25 basis points; they’re paying close attention to what the central bank projects for 2025 🔍

The number of future cuts the Fed expects to make will influence everything from stock prices to bond yields 👇

📈 Dovish (More Cuts): If the Fed signals more cuts than expected in 2025, markets could rally strongly.

🤷‍♀️ Neutral (Expected Cuts): If the central bank stays in line with what markets currently anticipate, look for a mild, positive response.

📉 Hawkish (Fewer Cuts): If the Fed indicates fewer cuts ahead, it may dampen enthusiasm, causing stocks to fall and treasury yields to rise.

#FAQ $UTK $DF $ENA

Circulating Supply vs. FDV 📊

• Circulating supply is the number of tokens currently available on the market, so market cap is calculated as price X circulating supply.

• Fully Diluted Valuation (FDV) calculates the value of the asset if all possible tokens were in circulation.

This difference is important because FDV can suggest that token will have a much larger Market Cap in the future than what's currently being traded

🔍 If a project's circulating supply is small compared to its total supply, there may be many tokens that are locked or have yet to be released.

When these tokens enter the market, they can increase selling pressure and affect the token's price. For example, a token may look cheap now and its market cap may look small, but if significant token releases are coming, the price may not stay that way 📉

Some tokens have a very small market cap to FDV ratio of < 0.1. This means that the current market cap will increase due to future unlocks, while the price will likely dump due to selling pressure. A good example is Worldcoin $WLD 🤑

Market cap is $2.3 billion while FDV is $30.4 billion. This is not a token you want to hold long term

When to hold and when to sell ⌚️

• Before buying any crypto, decide how much profit would feel like "enough". For example, if you buy at $1, consider selling some at $2 to lock in a profit, while still holding some if you believe in long-term growth.

• Selling enough to recoup your initial investment can reduce stress. You'll have secured your initial funds, leaving the rest as pure profit potential.

• Keep an eye on market sentiment. If a sudden downturn breaks key price levels, consider placing a stop-loss order about 10-20% below the current price to limit losses. Remember: Knowing when to sell is just as important as knowing when to buy.

🤷‍♀️ Selling at a loss is okay, it's not okay to marry your pockets and decide to hold a coin while it drops 99% while waiting for a recovery

• Don't panic over small dips if you believe in the future of the project. Over time, you can adjust these profit targets and stop-loss levels based on experience and risk tolerance.

• Plan your exits in advance. This will help you avoid emotional decisions and improve your long-term results.

Buy Bitcoin and Ethereum. This way you play it safe and almost guarantee yourself some profits in the future ↗️
