Data for Digital Assets

Daily Updates from FSInsightJanuary 10, 2022
  • Crypto continues to keep pace with legacy markets as the Nasdaq falls another 2.5% and the S&P 500 trades 2.0% lower at the time of writing. The global crypto market cap trades nearly 5% lower since Friday evening, with the bleeding led by more speculative altcoins. Meanwhile, Bitcoin and Ethereum are trading 2.5% and 6.5% lower over that same period. Amidst the ongoing selling, centralized stablecoin USDC quietly surpassed $44 billion in total market cap, moving to 56% of the total market cap of Tether's USDT. This indicates that investors are starting to favor USDC as a preferred centralized stablecoin, potentially due to the higher level of transparency promoted by USDC's developers at the Centre consortium. 
  • In other stablecoin news, PayPal executives have confirmed that the fintech giant is exploring the launch of its own private, USD-backed stablecoin. Hints of a PayPal-native stablecoin were first discovered in the PayPal source code by developer Steve Moser. The PayPal app already contains limited features that allow users to buy, hold, and pay with digital assets, suggesting that implementing a stablecoin might be a natural next step for the company. Executives at PayPal have noted that any hesitations surrounding a native stablecoin launch stem from regulatory uncertainty.  
  • The leading NFT platform OpenSea has recorded record volumes despite the ongoing market drawdown as investors appear interested in scooping up blue-chip NFTs at discounted prices. The platform has recorded over $2 billion in total volume through the first ten days of the month and is on the verge of reaching 1 million lifetime users. At the same time, we have witnessed developers initiate efforts in bringing decentralized solutions for NFTs to life, with the latest launch being LooksRare. LooksRare is a decentralized NFT marketplace that implements a tokenized solution to help foster an organic, decentralized community of NFT enthusiasts. 


Daily Technical Strategy

Solana $SOLUSD has tried to stabilize in the last few days near the 50% retracement of its Summer 2021-November 2021 rally, (~140) yet the violation of mid-December lows of 147.94 suggests that more selling could be likely in the days/weeks ahead before any meaningful bottom. Momentum based on RSI has neared oversold levels, but structurally from a wave perspective, additional pullbacks down to either 111, or 97.25 would be better to expect Support vs. current levels. Elliott projections of the most recent pullback from late December might align with the initial early November decline, which would pinpoint 92.25 as being close to a 100% equal-wave projection. That would lie slightly under the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of this entire low to high range of the last year, but should be meaningful as an area to consider buying dips. On the upside, regaining $147.94 on a daily close could suggest this recent decline has run its course, which for now, looks premature.
