Daily Updates from FSInsightJanuary 21, 2022
  • The crypto market is down 10% over the past 24 hours, shedding nearly $200 billion of market cap, and currently sits at $1.8 trillion. Bitcoin is down about 10% while Ethereum is down 12% along with other large cap alts declining between 10-20%. Bitcoin's relative outperformance over the past 5 days has once again caused Bitcoin Dominance to bounce off the critical 39% level. Going into yesterday afternoon, the size of the alt coin market relative to Bitcoin and Ethereum reached its highest point since April '18 (41.5%), but has since fallen due to the sell-off. This morning funding rates on Bitcoin perpetual futures contracts flipped negative indicating traders' short bias.
  • Yesterday the Federal Reserve released their highly anticipated "discussion paper" on a potential U.S. central bank digital currency (CBDC). The goal of the paper is to kick-off a formalized debate and discussion around the merits and drawbacks of a U.S. CBDC. The paper also provides clear definitions for mostly understood concepts like "a CBDC would be a liability of a central bank, like the Federal Reserve" as well as other debated concepts like "A U.S. CBDC would offer the general public broad access to digital money that is free from credit risk and liquidity risk." The paper is accompanied by several questions that the public will have 120 days to respond to.
  • Yesterday Russia's central bank proposed a ban on crypto mining and trading mirroring a similar ban put forward by the Chinese central bank. While the proposal does not outlaw crypto ownership, it attempts to limit Russian financial institutions' ability to make crypto transactions and trade crypto assets as a means to safe harbor the country's financial stability. The Russian central bank went on to cite energy and environmental concerns as the motivation to ban mining.
Daily Technical Strategy - Mark Newton, CMT

Bitcoin's break of 1/10/22 lows of 39,558 is a technical negative that keeps the recent two-month downtrend extending lower, and likely results in this testing last Summer's lows around $29k. While Bitcoin has shown some relative strength vs many Alt-coins in recent weeks, it still looks premature to expect trading lows right away from an absolute basis. Structurally speaking, this support violation goes back since last September so it has added weight as something that likely will allow for this decline to extend into next week. DeMark indicators utilized for counter-trend exhaustion still look premature on both daily and weekly timeframes to suggest an imminent low. Daily RSI has just entered oversold territory, though weekly RSI remains at 40, suggesting this trend is not as oversold as many believe. Overall, this week's technical damage looks to require a bit more downside before stabilization can occur.
