Daily Updates from FSInsightMay 23, 2022
  • Cryptoassets are seeing some bounce this afternoon after coming off of the crypto market's eighth straight negative week. The global crypto market cap is trading 3.5% higher at the time of writing, as bitcoin (+1.1%) and ether (+2.4%) lead the way. Other layer 1's, such as SOL (+4.2%) and AVAX (+3.7%), are behaving as expected from high bitcoin-beta altcoins. Fantom (FTM) is the standout performer, up 18% compared to yesterday, following rumors of star developer Andre Cronje's return to the project. Moves in crypto remain highly correlated with public equities as the DJIA is up nearly 600 points, and the Nasdaq has gained over 1% on the back of apparent seller exhaustion. Some key events to earmark this week include a slew of earnings reports from retailers, which are likely to offer color on inflation, and the FOMC meeting minutes, to be released on Wednesday. 
  • The Federal Reserve released an annual study exploring the economic health of the US consumer. This year's study, which is the result of an 11,000-person survey, included topics related to crypto for the first time. According to the results, 12% of US adults held crypto in 2021. In terms of usage, the survey concluded that only 3% of crypto holders actually used crypto for payments or transfers. The study interestingly notes that of the 3% that used crypto for transactions, 13% of this cohort did not have a bank account, and nearly 60% had annual incomes below $50k per year. Meanwhile, those who held crypto purely for investment purposes were "disproportionately high-income." This data furthers the idea that a good portion of crypto's value proposition is more easily realized by those currently excluded from the western banking system.
  • On Monday, a pair of non-crypto companies announced big moves into the world of NFTs. Gamestop, the video game retailer which became the poster child for meme stocks, launched a non-custodial crypto and NFT wallet. The goal is to allow seamless commerce on GameStop's soon-to-launch NFT marketplace built atop an Ethereum layer 2 network. Elsewhere, online marketplace eBay announced it would start to sell NFTs in partnership with OneOf. OneOf is a platform built on the Tezos blockchain and specializes in music, sports, and lifestyle NFTs. The offerings on eBay will initially concentrate on sports-related NFTs.
Daily Technical Strategy - Mark Newton, CMT

Ethereum looks likely to outperform Bitcoin in the short run following some impressive stabilization and signs of ETHBTC lifting to multi-day highs in recent days. Daily charts over the last nine months show two former meaningful areas of lows in the relative chart of ETHBTC, and this looks to now be holding again for a third time. Overall, this looks to be an opportune time to favor ETH for some near-term outperformance over BTC. However, movement back over monthly highs is necessary before expecting this has any sort of longevity. In absolute terms, the first meaningful resistance on a bounce for ETHUSD should materialize near 2400-2500. Until this is exceeded, tactical longs are favored only in absolute terms, and this remains more of a relative outperformer over BTC.
