Up or down? Will we, won’t we? Price has been grinding up steadily the past 3 months but some metrics we’d want to see moving up as well just aren’t there - namely stablecoins.
Bull Case: What bad news is left to drag the market down? Nonstop bad news and we’re closer to $30k than the bottom we saw around $15k. Mayhaps there’s nothing left to drag the market down. (knock on wood)
Bear Case: The market is underestimating the Fed’s resolve. The Fed will avoid rate cuts this year in order to tame inflation to that 2% goal. Could that mean prices waffle around for the rest of the year? Of course, any serious unexpected twists in the regulatory environment could also drag us down if we do waffle.
Plan: Keep farming airdrops, research upcoming narratives and be ready for whatever may come. Those who commit to buying at these or lower prices will likely be happy with the outcome in a few years time.
- This grimoire is an open journal of notes, thoughts, data, and a collection of events from throughout the week in the world of crypto. It is designed to be a comprehensive overview of all the goings ons one might need to know to stay up to date with the chaotic, cruel and convoluted game that is crypto. Herein this tome you’ll find no happy wgmi vibes. Just a critical, practical and ground level perspective of the volatile warfield that we know as crypto. There’s lots of opportunities out there. Just gotta pay attention -
Data:
Bitcoin:
Looking at the weekly chart, we can see that Bitcoin is above these meme red 200 week EMA/MA lines and figuring things out at the meme blue 100 week ema line. Does that mean anything? Not really but everyone and their grandmother tends to look at those indicators so interesting to keep an eye on. The bulls have really been powering through lately despite all the reasons to drag the market down.
The past 3 months hasn’t exactly been clean PA with that nasty drop from all the USDC and banking fuckery but we’re up ~70% in the past 3 months and knocking right on the door of $30k.
Bitcoin Dominance
In March 2021, Bitcoin dominance dropped from the 60% area down to ~40% where it has ranged since. Currently ~46%. This is the fourth time we are seeing a spike above 46%.
Bitcoin has clearly been leading the market and we can see confluence of that with this spike in dominance.
Worth noting that we haven’t been able to move past 47% in 2 years. Will this time be different?
Ethereum:
ETH weekly chart not quite as spry looking as Bitcoin but we are curled up nice and tightly on top of these meme EMA lines. If Bitcoin dominance were to lose steam along with Bitcoin, could we see a rotation into ETH and other alts?
Crypto Market Cap:
$1.167T, down barely from last week’s $1.182T. Doing TA on something like the crypto market cap doesn’t make sense but we can see that over the past year, ever since all the 3AC and Terra fuckery started happening, we have been unable to move past the $1.2T level. Will this time be different?
Stablecoin Total Market Cap:
$131.92B, down from last week’s $133.17B. Really not liking this. I’m a broken record but where the fuck is the money that’s supposed to be flowing in to signal the return of the bulls? Week after week the total supply keeps grinding downwards, yet the market moves up. Make it make sense. We need to start seeing fresh money entering, or else…
Stablecoin Exchange Reserves:
$18.543B, down from last week’s $19.763B. Tsk tsk tsk. Once again, not only is the stablecoin supply not growing, stablecoins are continuing to flow off exchanges. Not a fan of pricing moving up without good liquidity backing it up and ready buyers. Yet, despite all this, prices have been grinding upwards for weeks. So what is even right? Maybe this’ll all turn around eventually. For now, it’s a concern.
DeFi TVL:
$49.49B, down from last week’s $50.19B. Once again, we haven’t been able to stay above $50B since November. That area is acting as a “resistance zone” as if such a thing exists for TVL. Still. Meaningfully moving and staying above these zones would signal a change in the wind. For the time being, $50B is our little roadblock.
Exchange Volume:
$959.77B for the month of March vs $878.42B total in February. Another milestone for us to cross would be to go back to regularly seeing $1T in monthly exchange volume, which was pretty regular until the 3AC/Terra collapse. Since then, it’s been fairly dry. Let’s get back over $1T per month as well as cross some of those other barriers and we’ll like that.
Dex Volume:
$108.78B for the month of March vs $68.8B total in February. Pretty impressive DEX volume. We’re at comparable levels to what we saw during the 2021 bull run. Where’s this volume coming from? Uncertainty surrounding CEXs perhaps? On chain degens doing on chain degen things?
Ethereum NFT Volume:
$1.37B for the month of March vs $1.61B total in February. March wasn’t able to outperform February which was fueled by Blur airdrop farming and wash trading. Attention in Blur has also dropped off but perhaps attention will pick back up for the next round of airdrops. Although, that just means another round of people being dropped free money.
Coins:
Weekly Gainers:
Joe was a pretty interesting coin to play this week, and was getting lots of attention on CT. XRP may have some resolution to its long court battle soon?
Weekly Losers:
Hmmm. Layer 2, scaling, zk and AI coins down this week.
LSDs
LSDs making some moves as we close in on Ethereum staked withdrawals going live. Will the Shapella upgrade be a sell the news event?
Thoughts/Observations:
Monday:
After a relatively unexciting weekend for price, Bitcoin continues testing if it’ll hold $28k and ETH $1700. Arbitrum’s initial pre launch momentum from last week has so far been underwhelming with neither a significant dump or pump. Everyone is talking about the zk narrative now. Zksync got bragging rights over Polygon by launching a few days earlier. Binance gets sued by the CFTC and drags the market down but nothing cray. Bitcoin down to ~$26-27k. ETH down to low $1700s.
Tuesday:
Slight recovery from the Binance FUD dump. Bitcoin pops up above $27k. Looking promising. ETH moving up too. Ethereum Shapella date confirmed for April 12th, targeting that for LSD trade. Trader Joe strong performer. Sentiment showing continued interest in zk stuff. Lot’s of people seem to be airdrop farming.
Wednesday:
Bitcoin pops above $29k before being hammered back down. Highest BTC has been since the 3AC collapse. ETH flirting with retaking $1800. Very interesting to see the tenacity of bulls here. All the reasons for why the market should go down keep adding up but the market keeps grinding up. Unfortunately we’ve seen that before. Smaller-eque FUD stories happening in the background. CT seems fairly bullish.
Thursday:
Yesterday’s spike above $29k got hammered down but has since recovered. Resilience here is very interesting. It’s definitely a battle. However, momentum starts losing steam again during the day and falls to $28k. So much cockteasing.
Friday:
More crabbiness. The bullish boost we saw on Wednesday has since fizzled and Bitcoin is figuring out the $27-28k area. ETH seeing if it’ll hold $1800 or slip back under to $1700. Nothing definitive yet. Lower time frames turned out looking choppy this week, despite some hopeful moves here and there. Let’s see what kinda scam PA the weekend brings.
