Data for Digital Assets

Daily Updates from FSInsightJanuary 12, 2022
  • The total crypto market cap is trading at $2.07T, a 4% increase over the past 24 hours. Bitcoin and ETH are trading at $44k and $3.4k, respectively, rebounding 10% from its low of $40k at the beginning of the week. Alternate Layer 1s have demonstrated strength throughout, with ATOM, FTM, and ONE taking charge. We see this surge as a strong response to the CPI print detailed below.
  • The minutes by the U.S. Labor Department released today revealed a CPI clip of 7%, marking the highest levels since June 1982. As many investors perceive Bitcoin to be a hedge against inflation, this macro development pushed the price of Bitcoin to $44k at the time of writing. Fed Chairman Jerome Powell reiterated his hawkish stance during his confirmation hearing, hinting that the economy no longer needs the loose monetary policy adopted by the Federal Reserve since the start of the pandemic.
  • Polygon (MATIC), a layer-two Ethereum (ETH) scaling solution announced the launch of Plonky2, a zero-knowledge scaling technology. Instead of having every staker verify posted transactions as with Optimism roll-ups, zero-knowledge allows verification of roll-up proofs and is regarded as the superior solution to ETH's scaling troubles. Nodes do not need to store the history of the blockchain's transactions to be functional, enabling linear scaling of blockchains moving forward. 


Daily Technical Strategy

Following a near 27% rally in the last four trading sessions, $LUNAUSD has now reached an area of utmost importance as to whether this bounce can follow-through, or will reverse. Hourly LUNA charts shows the downtrend from late December which intersects near $82. Additional resistance comes in at 81.50, caused by former late December lows (which should now be formidable resistance on this first retest) Bottom line, getting through $82 would be a meaningful and positive step towards allowing for a much bigger rally. However, until this happens, the area at $81.50-$82 causes some resistance in the next 3-5 trading days. First key support lies at $75.50 and under on a close suggests LUNA has some additional work to do on the downside, postponing the rally.
