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

  • Adding and destroying chips on the chain

  • Large-value exchange net inflows and outflows

  • Long-term players hold structure

  • Total spot selling pressure


(Figure below shows the addition and destruction of chips on the chain)

The new chips on the chain show that there are currently a certain amount of large new chips in the market, which is more optimistic than in the past few weeks.

This proves that the market has a lot of solid growth foundations and the fundamentals remain relatively good.


(The following figure shows the net inflow and outflow of large exchanges)

Although there has not been much large outflow (willingness to buy) recently, the large selling pressure has been much smaller.

The selling pressure in the market began to wane.


(The figure below shows the holding structure of long-term participants)

The overall holding ratio structure of long-term participants has now reached the level in May 2020, returning to the level at the beginning of this year.

This means that most of the market is occupied by long-term participants and has firm diamond hand support. The support is relatively strong and it is not easy to cause a huge market collapse.


(Figure below: Total spot selling pressure)

The overall selling pressure on spot is relatively small and is currently at this year's low.

From this stage and this perspective, it is still relatively safe.



Mid-term exploration

  • Positive sentiment on the Internet

  • Liquidity Supply

  • Incremental Model

  • Stability and BTC and ETH market value ratio

  • Long-term and short-term supply ratio


(Figure below: Network sentiment positivity)

After a period of decline, online sentiment is now gradually stabilizing.

Perhaps the mood in the venue is showing signs of slowly recovering and has reached a certain threshold.


(Figure below shows liquidity supply)

The supply of liquidity is slowly being repaired, and when liquidity increases, the market may have a stopping effect.

The market may be suitable at present.


(Incremental model below)

The supply of stablecoins continues to grow and their purchasing power continues to increase.

The sentiment of short-term funds may decline slightly, and the market rhythm may not be too fast, but more inclined to a rhythm of oscillating repair.


(The following figure shows the market value ratio of stablecoins to BTC and ETH)

It is possible that the data may show a rising market while the ratio is decreasing.

At the same time, on the eve of a market downturn or reversal, market relations may reach a certain peak.

The general market value relationship is only for the convenience of observing the macro relationship of the market.

It is currently in a slight decline.


(The figure below shows the ratio of long-term and short-term supply)

Blue line: long-term and short-term supply ratio

In the market's internal on-chain interactions, there is a supply ratio relationship between long-term and short-term chips.

When the blue line is rising, the market may be unstable or in a state of long-term accumulation.

If the blue line is falling, the market may be buying or forming support at the bottom.
