đ„Main catalysts in the crypto world (04/10/2024)
-Avalanche ($AVAX): Has announced a $40M incentive program to encourage the growth of its ecosystem. This move could boost the value of $AVAX with the development of new projects.
-Grayscale ($AAVE): Has launched new funds for $AAVE, accessible to accredited investors, which could generate an increase in institutional demand for the token.
-Aptos ($APT): Franklin Templeton has launched a US government money market fund on the Aptos network, thus consolidating its legitimacy and favoring the institutional adoption of $APT.
-Mantra ($OM): Tokenomics update of $OM, with changes in vesting and inflation. Potential improvement in the stability and value of the token as it migrates to its Mainnet.
It's an altcoin from the RWA narrative that I have on my watchlist.
I've observed the following:
Possible insider buying
I've observed interesting withdrawals from this wallet: 0xb14025f7eb7717cff43e7a33b66d86eabd6bc7d7
At first glance, it might seem like something normal, but when I analyze it, I've seen that it has interacted with several pre-sale contracts, which would indicate to me that it belongs to an insider: Mainnet launch
The project has recently launched its mainnet and it seems that they are doing things right. There are several catalysts that generate interest and attention.
On a technical level, I like it a lot and I'm waiting for a breakout of the accumulation that has been forming during the last few daysđ
I'm going to start rotating some of my longer-term capital into defensive assets, which tend to perform well in times of recession, if that's the case.
Would you like me to document the process publicly?
Even though everything points to a crash in the near future, I don't see a mistake in going against the short-term trend.
The SP500 is at its highest, it's an election year...
What we have to watch is what happens after December.
It's possible that during these months we'll see big increases, perhaps the last gasps of this bull market in which we've been immersed for some time (we mustn't forget that).
Something that, for me, would make a lot of sense would be to generate a lot of euphoria, and then the final black swan would occur. That, without a doubt, would be what would do the most damage, and the market always looks for that, "unexpected surprises."
However, historically there have also been other cuts in times of economic expansion, which were made to counteract only early signs of slowdown (as could be the current case).
In these cases, the corrections have been unremarkable.
Conclusions? The reduction of rates is not usually the catalyst for these corrections, but the crises that follow.
It is clear that the Fed cuts rates when it sees that "something is not working", but this time I doubt that we are facing a strong recession, but rather a mere slowdown.
