Bitcoin Dominates
Key Takeaways
- Bitcoin experiences healthy consolidation following a red-hot start to October but continues to exhibit strong underlying fundamentals.
- BTC open interest has increased dramatically in recent weeks, but data shows that the majority of futures are cash-margined, which may point to a more robust derivatives market as compared to prior bull runs.
- Historical trends in Market Value to Realized Value ratio and Market Cap to Thermocap multiples suggest that despite the leasing asset’s recent impressive performance, there is still room for price to run.
- Historically, decisive decreases in Bitcoin dominance indicate an increased appetite for risk amongst market participants, thus making it a helpful metric for managing crypto allocations.
- Bottom Line – We continue to lean into our thesis that Bitcoin will make a run at all-time highs in Q4 and ultimately reach our $100,000 price target by year-end. Therefore, we are buying into any near-term weakness. We also reiterate our bullish view on Ethereum as we still expect the leading smart contract platform to benefit from favorable tailwinds and reach our price target of $10,000.

CORE STRATEGY: FOCUS ON MAJORS, KEEP HEAD ON SWIVEL UNTIL BONDS/DXY RELENT We think it's right to expect a bounce into year-end, potentially starting tomorrow if PCE data comes in soft. In our view, this cycle is far from over, but until bonds find a bottom and the USD tops, it’s likely best for the more tactical investor to stay nimble and prepared for opportunities upon confirmation of this trend...
CORE STRATEGY Our base case assumes that the macro environment will remain accommodative for crypto through year-end. However, in light of recent market action, we remain alert for signs of a local top (not a cycle top). That said, it is difficult to justify a risk-averse stance at this stage and think it is right to lean into this altcoin rally.

Today's employment numbers broadly met investor expectations, placating a nervous market. Risk assets rallied, aligning with our view that yesterday's de-risking would not persist through today. Yields continued their downward trajectory, and Fed funds futures also declined, reflecting the market's adherence to the Fed's dovish messaging.
