The Most Important Daily
Data for Digital Assets

Daily Updates from FSInsightJanuary 7, 2022
  • Crypto continues correcting, with the overall market dropping 1.9% over the past 24 hours. Bitcoin is down 0.7%, continuing to outperform Ethereum's slide of 2.5%. Of note is Bitcoin's strength in this downturn relative to the altcoin market, as Bitcoin's market dominance has jumped from 39.5% to over 40% in the past 3 days. This could be a sign that the current sentiment is more risk-off after the fed minutes were released, similar to the reaction in traditional financial markets, and that Bitcoin is seen by investors as a mature, lower-risk asset.
  • Vitalik Buterin, the cofounder of Ethereum, published a proposal to help manage the painfully high Ethereum gas fees. The idea is to create separate (or "multidimensional") fee structures for typical simple, low-data transactions and complex, data-intensive ones. Buterin proposed two options: set limits on each stage of processing a transaction based on either a predefined total data limit or price gas fees around the intensity of each stage relative to the base fee.
  • BTCS Inc., a NASDAQ-list miner focused on being a validator in a large number of Proof-of-Stake protocols, announced that they will give investors the option to receive dividends at $0.05 per share in Bitcoin as opposed to cash. This is the first publicly-traded company on NASDAQ to pay dividends denominated in a cryptocurrency.
Daily Technical Strategy

Ethereum's pullback has begun to accelerate in recent days, losing ground vs Bitcoin and after losing more than 15% in the past three trading sessions, $ETHUSD has now given up more than 50% of the rally from last July's lows. Initial support could materialize near 2907, but given the severity of this decline, further weakness is expected into late January before much of a bounce. Daily momentum indicators like RSI are just entering oversold levels, while weekly momentum remains neutral. More serious support should arrive near 2472 which is near an absolute 50% retracement of the November 2021 peak as well as 50% of the 3/2020-11/2021 range. DeMark indicators suggest Weekly TD Buy Setups could materialize possibly after another 2-3 weeks of selling, but for now, remain premature. To have expectation of more than a minor bounce, prices require a move back above 3583, but at present, buying into current weakness seems early, technically speaking.
