Long-term insights
High quality selling pressure
New and sold on-chain chips
Chip distribution and volume address distribution at each price
New feature engineering for derivatives
(Figure below: high-quality selling pressure)
The overall higher quality selling pressure has slowly declined in the past month.
This leaves a certain amount of time redundancy and space for the market's turning point.
(The following figure shows the newly added and sold on-chain chips)
The number of newly added chips on the chain has generally increased in the past two months.
Market participants slowly increase the chips in their hands over time.
(The following figure shows the distribution of chips and volume addresses at each price)
The percentage of participants actively trading during this time period has dropped significantly.
There are more short-term participants, and the on-chain chip flow has dropped by more than 70%.
It is worth noting that there are whales that have hoarded a large number of chips in the price range of 48,000 to 50,000 US dollars, and they may cash out part of the chips when the price hits this level again in the future.
(Figure below: New feature engineering of derivatives)
Lake blue: Lido
Golden orange: bad news
This is a new feature derived from the latest experiments and research, or a signal based on feature engineering of derivatives.
It can be applied in quantitative trading and medium-term trading with powerful effects.
The following are the simple backtest results:
A shorter holding strategy is adopted, generally holding for about 1-3 hours.
Spot, no leverage, in the current big shock and bear market, only long backtest returns 72%+;
Maximum drawdown: 7%.
Mid-term exploration
Exchange Fund Flow
Purchasing power difference
Net exchange position
(The following figure shows the flow of funds in the exchange)
Red line: The proportion of on-chain transfers in exchange fund flows
Orange area: On-chain transfer volume
Blue area: exchange fund flow
This model is used to examine the capital flow of an exchange. When the capital flow of an exchange is relatively active, it may represent a relatively good circulation situation in the market.
If we look at it from this perspective, BTC's own capital flow is in good condition, with corresponding buyers and sellers exchanging on the exchange.
(Purchasing power difference in the figure below)
However, from the perspective of purchasing power difference, there are currently signs of slight recovery, but the overall changes are small.
At the same time, the overall stablecoin situation has not shown an increase, and may be relatively biased towards stock.
Combined with the "exchange fund flow", the on-site inventory is still relatively active and is currently still inclined to recovery.
In order to observe more closely, the data of net positions of exchanges are added.
(Figure below: Exchange net position)
The net position of an exchange is the relative relationship between the amount of deposits and withdrawals over a certain period of time, as well as the relationship between some buyers and sellers that can be guessed.
The current exchange net position tends to be in a state of weak outflow, but the overall position has not turned from "green" to red.
Perhaps from the perspective of market status switching, the seller's rhythm is in the release stage.

Derivatives rating: Risk factor is in the neutral area, moderate risk

Options trading volume has increased significantly, and the proportion of put options has not changed much compared with last week and is at a medium level.
(Figure below shows derivatives trading volume)
After a brief price increase, derivatives trading volume quickly fell back to a low level, indicating that many derivatives traders are still on the sidelines.

Options implied volatility has increased and options traders have become more active.

This week’s summary:
Summary of news:
The Federal Reserve expects to end the interest rate hike cycle at the latest within two CPI periods. After the interest rate hike cycle ends, the US bond yield will fall.
Funds will then flow back into risky assets, thereby promoting the rise of risky assets.
Encryption:
On the one hand, the court denied the SEC's reasons for rejecting Grayscale Spot, and on the other hand, top asset management institutions such as BlackRock and Fidelity and top hedge funds such as Citadel Investments joined.
The SEC has fewer and fewer options left.
It will become a high probability in the later stage.
On-chain long-term insights:
High-quality selling pressure is slowly decreasing;
The amount of new chips on the chain has been increasing quietly in the past two months;
The liquidity of the on-chain chip structure has dropped by 70%. It is worth noting that there are whales hoarding a large number of chips in the price range of 48,000 to 50,000 US dollars, which may cause pressure in the later stage;
Currently, the main active funds on the chain are short-term funds;
Backtest of new features and signal effects: the retracement-to-profit ratio is 10, which shows good results.
Market setting:
Maintaining the view of low liquidity, the market structure has not changed much, and it may take a slower transition and plateau period.
On-chain mid-term exploration:
BTC has a better trading situation on exchanges
Purchasing power has been slightly restored, but overall it is biased towards inventory
Net position shows the key points of transition between seller and buyer status
Market setting:
There are sufficient buyers and sellers in the market. From this perspective, liquidity is acceptable, but the overall environment is still a stock environment, and we need to pay attention to narrative and trend changes in the medium term.
On-chain short-term observations:
The risk factor is in the neutral area and the risk is moderate.
The number of newly added active addresses is at a medium-to-high level, and the on-chain activity is good.
Market sentiment rating: neutral to cold.
The overall net position of the exchange showed a small inflow and low selling pressure.
Global purchasing power has been completely lost, and the purchasing power of stablecoins has recovered slightly.
Off-chain transaction data shows that there is a willingness to buy at the 25,000 price level, and a willingness to sell at the 30,000 price level.
The probability that the price will not fall below 20,000-22,000 in the short term is 89%; the probability that the price will not rise below 28,000-30,000 in the short term is 63%.
Market setting:
The overall market sentiment is neutral to indifferent. Short-term prices tend to be affected by news or derivatives markets. In addition, the current price is still lower than the cost of short-term holders, and unrealized losses should be paid attention to.
Strategy suggestion: Spot dynamic hedging
