Daily Updates from FSInsightJune 2, 2022
  • After retreating below $30k and $1.8k this morning, bitcoin (+0.7%) and ether (-0.7%) have rallied in concert with traditional risk assets. Since the US market opened, Nasdaq has increased nearly 2% despite weak guidance from Microsoft and continued hawkish sentiments from Fed officials. Overall, leading altcoins have not shown nearly as much resilience as bitcoin. Bitcoin dominance (BTC market cap / global crypto market cap) continues to rise, nearing 47% this afternoon. The rise in bitcoin dominance is likely due to crypto natives reducing exposure to alts and many recognizing the long-term asymmetric upside to bitcoin at current price levels.

  • In what is becoming a seemingly weekly tradition, layer 1 network Solana suffered yet another outage yesterday, halting block production for over four hours. The outage was caused by a bug in how the network processes "durable nonce transactions." This feature was removed from the code, validators restarted the network, and things have since been running smoothly. While many of the apps developed on Solana have demonstrated a high-quality user experience relative to other blockchain-based applications, the network has clearly shown signs of fragility, which could negatively impact investors with real wealth tied up on the network. This latest incident marks the 7th time over the past 12 months that Solana has suffered a complete or partial outage.
  • Yesterday, a grand jury indicted Nathaniel Chastain, the former head of product at NFT marketplace OpenSea, on wire fraud and money laundering charges. These charges stem from an insider trading scandal that led to Chastain being relieved of his duties at OpenSea. As head of product, Chastain was tasked with choosing which NFTs would be featured on the front page of the OpenSea website. He is accused of using un-doxxed Ethereum wallets to front-run confidential NFT listings on OpenSea's front page and flipping the NFTs for a profit after the listing. As sources close to the matter clarified, wire fraud applies to assets other than securities. Therefore, there is good reason to think that this is not an effort to set any securities-law precedent and bears no immediate regulatory risk to the NFT industry.

Stellar is shaping up as an attractive risk reward following this week's trend breakout and minor consolidation. The surge which started late last week saw XLMUSD push up over 0.143 which is an important area of resistance based on the recent two-month downtrend from late March. This area was exceeded on above average volume before the minor settling in recent days. Similar to other Cryptocurrencies, XLM has made a steady habit of peaking and troughing at similar times to the NASDAQ, and this correlation looks to be ongoing. Thus, at 0.14 currently, this looks actionable to buy this week's dip, expecting a push higher to test and exceed early week highs near .15397. Targets initially lie near .171, then .188, which line up with meaningful retracement ratios of 50% and 61.8% of the former drawdown. Only a pullback down under .118 would serve to postpone the rally, which at present, looks unlikely in the short run.
