Data for Digital Assets

Daily Updates from FSInsightJanuary 19, 2022
  • The global crypto market cap is trading at just below $2T at time of writing, with Bitcoin and Ethereum relatively flat from the 24 hours prior. FTM, LUNA, ATOM, and MATIC have exhibited relative strength among the larger market cap altcoins, with upcoming product updates prevalent in these pairs. Funding rates are flat on major exchanges, with open interest at levels comparable to mid-October.  
  • Microsoft announced a $69 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard as part of a move to ramp up its gaming and metaverse plans. The acquisition positions Microsoft as a serious contender to Sony and Facebook, significant rivals pushing towards the metaverse. While gaming has been a thesis for many in 2022, the digital asset space has yet to see a Play-to-Earn game that rivals the conventional gaming world in quality.
  • Crypto.com suffered an estimated $33 million loss to hackers from the exchange's custodial wallet in the latest exchange heist. The online platform suspended customer withdrawals for 14 hours on Monday, citing suspicious wallet activity. The exchange has been in the media spotlight as of late, spending $700 million to rename Staples Center in Los Angeles to the Crypto.com Arena and signing a multi-year sponsorship with the LA Angel City Football Club. 
Daily Technical Strategy - Mark Newton, CMT

Solana looks to be getting very close to a trading low, after giving up 50% of the advance since last July 2021 lows. As daily $SOLUSD charts show below, prices have stabilized at roughly a 50% retracement of the former low to high range which peaked with many other coins on 11/6/21. While prices did undercut this $140 area by a brief amount, we see that a Fibonacci alternative retracement of the decline from 12/27 compared to the 11/6-12/13/21 pullback equates to a near perfect 61.8% Ratio at $136 which has largely held into January. While the ongoing technical trend and momentum remain negatively sloped, DeMark's TD Sequential indicator currently shows an unconfirmed but completed 13 Countdown signal, while weekly charts could "perfect" TD Buy Setups this week. Overall, the risk/reward is looking better, finally, to buy dips, and prices could bottom out here, or any daily close under $130 would give way to a "final" plunge to $129 (50% absolute retracement) or $116 which i believe should mark a good trading low into late January. Upside targets will be discussed once a confirmed low is at hand.
