Key Takeaways

  • A FUD-free week combined with shifting regulatory sentiment catalyzes a 33% weekly increase for $BTC and a 28% increase for $ETH. Bitcoin’s market cap returns to $1 trillion and trades above the 200-day moving average. 
  • Data points to a spot-driven market for Bitcoin as just over $100 million in short positions were liquidated on Wednesday’s move and leverage remains relatively subdued despite the bullish price action.
  • $BTC transfer volume data demonstrating a higher percentage of transactions above $10 million in aggregate value suggests increased participation from institutional players.
  • Bitcoin dominance appears to be gaining steam as the leading cryptoasset diverges from the altcoin market. This potentially indicates the start of wider rotation out of altcoins and into Bitcoin.
  • On-chain supply dynamics may finally be bearing fruit as the current illiquid supply levels may have led to outsized impact from today’s spot demand. 
  • Bottom Line: Bitcoin and Ethereum’s performance in the face of a seemingly murky macro landscape is a positive sign for investors. We continue to view the remainder of Q4 as bullish for $BTC and $ETH and will continue to approach any near-term pullbacks as opportunities to add to our positions.

A Good Time to Consider Adding Miners

INFLOWS RESUME On Monday, market sentiments were rattled by a surprisingly strong manufacturing PMI figure, marking the first expansionary reading in 18 months. This led to a rise in rates, with risk assets across the board experiencing selloffs amid renewed inflation concerns and fears that the Federal Reserve might need to implement further measures to cool the economy.

MARKET SHRUGS AT HOT CPI The latest Consumer Price Index (CPI) data indicated a hotter inflationary environment than forecasted for February. Despite the surprise in the numbers, market participants appeared largely unmoved, suggesting that the potential impact had already been factored into their calculations prior to the release. This resilience reflects a broader sentiment that a rates-driven selloff, in response to the CPI figures, is not a significant near-term risk....
