Long-term insights

  • Accumulation rate of whales and small groups

  • High-weight selling pressure

This week we will be penetrating the market from a supply and demand perspective.

(The following figure shows the accumulation rate of whales and small groups)

  • Dark green: whale accumulation rate

The demand for whales has dropped significantly compared to last year.

In the current few months, the demand has only increased slightly and there has not been a significant increase.

In terms of supply and demand, the current demand is not strong.

(Figure below shows high-weight selling pressure)

The market selling pressure is still low.

The momentum of selling volume is not strong, and the supply side has not put too much pressure on the market and industry.

Overall, the supply side is slowly declining.

Market supply and demand have currently reached a delicate balance point and are slowly shifting toward the demand side.

Mid-term exploration

  • Realized cost basis

  • Whale accumulation coefficient

  • Sell-side risk ratio

  • High-weight selling group

(The figure below shows the realized cost basis)

Yellow area: short-term liquidity support zone

Orange line: Realized average cost

Blue line: Short-term participant supply

When the BTC market price is stuck below the liquidity support band, the market will enter an extremely painful state.

It also means that the positions of short-term participants are in a loss-making state, which is relatively uncomfortable.

Perhaps this situation is also a manifestation of the sluggish market.

At the same time, when short-term participants are in a downturn,

This may cause the market to fall into a state of weakness, and the recent adjustment state may continue.

(The following figure shows the accumulation coefficient of giant whales)

The whales have also lost the willingness to accumulate recently, and the overall depressed mood may also be affecting the current status of the participants in reverse.

When their willingness to increase holdings is lower, the market adjustment state may continue for some time.

(The following figure shows the seller's risk ratio)

The current selling rate of sellers has slowed down, and the seller's power may be relatively weakened compared with the state of market value circulation.

(The following figure shows the high-weight selling pressure group)

Red line: High-weight selling pressure from short-term participants

Blue line: high-weight selling pressure from long-term participants

Orange line: High-weight selling pressure ratio in circulation

All three broken lines are in a stage of slowing down and falling, which may be due to the lack of significant selling pressure from high-weight stocks in the recent period.

It is possible that during the adjustment phase, these participants with a larger influence also chose to be relatively reluctant to sell.

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

(The figure below shows the risk factor of derivatives)

Last week, we mentioned that the risk factor gave a certain rebound space, and then the market started a short rebound. This week, the current risk factor is still in the neutral area, with no particular tendency. Whether it rebounds or falls, there is a certain space. Continue to pay attention to the rapid upward or downward movement of the risk factor.

(The figure below shows the option intention transaction ratio)

The option trading volume has dropped significantly, and the proportion of put options has dropped slightly compared with last week and is currently at a medium-to-high level.

(Figure below shows derivatives trading volume)

The current derivatives trading volume does not fluctuate much and remains at a low level, indicating that most derivatives traders are currently in a wait-and-see state.

(The figure below shows the implied volatility of options)

The implied volatility of options has declined and the activity of options traders has decreased.

Emotional state rating: Neutral to indifferent

(The following figure shows the amount of profit and loss transfer)

The short-term small-scale price fluctuations did not cause any positive or panic sentiment in the market. Since there are still a large number of unrealized losses, this week's focus is on market panic represented by loss transfer volume.

(Figure below shows newly added addresses and active addresses)

Last week, we mentioned that the large increase in new addresses and active addresses in the short term indicated a certain volatility. Currently, after the volatility, the number of new active addresses has slightly decreased and is at a medium-high level.

This week’s summary:

Summary of news:

  1. The core PCE released at the end of this month and next month's CPI are more important and will determine future market confidence.

  2. Later in the cycle the Fed may use more deterrent language to maintain or further influence the downward path of inflation while preventing market overheating and front-running.

As the market changes, the deterrent effect will gradually decline and the effect will become weaker and weaker. For the market, the last rate hike may have become less important.

The data and inflation in the next two months will further affect the expectations and plans of the entire Federal Reserve, which is worth paying attention to.

On-chain long-term insights:

  1. Market demand is not higher than the previous year or the beginning of the year, but has dropped significantly. Currently, the demand side is increasing slightly.

  2. The supply side did not cause too much pressure, the market was relatively stable and slowly declining.

  • Market setting:

Silence, more participants choose to wait and see, and the supply and demand relationship is not squeezed or distorted too much.

On-chain mid-term exploration:

  1. The market is below the short-term liquidity support band and is relatively suffering;

  2. The whales may be adversely affected by the market conditions, and the recent state is relatively sluggish, with weak accumulation;

  3. Sell-side power is currently weak relative to market value;

  4. The overall selling pressure of high-weight stocks has slowed down.

  • Market setting:

Suffering, Adjustment

The market may adjust in a relatively painful state. Due to the small number of short-term participants, liquidity may be lacking in the near future.

On-chain short-term observations:

  1. The risk factor is in the neutral area, and the risk is moderate

  2. The number of newly added active addresses is at a medium-to-high level, and the probability of fluctuations is increasing.

  3. Market sentiment rating: neutral to cold.

  4. The overall net position of the exchange showed an accumulated outflow state, with low selling pressure.

  5. Global purchasing power has rebounded slightly, and the purchasing power of stablecoins has been lost slightly.

  6. 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 28,000 price level.

  7. The probability that the price will not fall below 24,000-26,000 in the short term is 79%; the probability that the price will not rise below 32,000-34,000 in the short term is 65%.

  • Market setting:

The few positive signals last week have basically disappeared this week, and the current market sentiment has returned to a cold state. It is normal to have short-term rapid fluctuations. What remains unchanged is that it is still more inclined to be affected by news or the derivatives market, and continues to pay attention to unrealized losses.
