Respecting the Seasonality (Core Strategy Rebalance)
Tactical Caution
Throughout this year, we've been navigating a complex interplay between overarching macro influences and crypto-specific events. Milestones such as BlackRock's ETF application, Ripple's legal win over the SEC, and Grayscale's similar success have been promising, yet they've occurred amidst a peak in global liquidity.
This timing has effectively curtailed any long-lasting bullish momentum in the crypto markets. While we've been vocal proponents of maintaining risk exposure, the convergence of today’s rally, persistent seasonal headwinds, and a strengthening U.S. dollar make this an opportune time to reconsider. Scaling back on crypto assets (particularly alts) at this juncture could serve as a prudent strategy, allowing for better positioning once these transient market conditions subside.
Momentum Failing to Turn Higher
As we have covered in prior analyses, SOPR is an excellent indicator of momentum for bitcoin. The Spent Output Profit Ratio (SOPR) gauges the profitability of coins moved on-chain. It is calculated as the ratio of the coin's current value at the time it is spent to its original acquisition cost.
A SOPR value of 1 signifies a market at breakeven, indicating that people are neither making nor losing money on their investments. When...Reports you may have missed
Caution in the Near-term Still Warranted, Q4 Setup Remains Compelling (Core Strategy Rebalance)
THIS WEEK’S ECONOMIC DATA SKEWS TOWARD HARD-LANDING For this week’s note, we will begin by revisiting our market map for the near-term outlook on crypto. Over the past few months, the market has oscillated between expectations of a hard landing, soft landing, and no landing. However, since Powells’s speech at Jackson Hole, market outcomes have narrowed, leaving only the two scenarios furthest to the left—hard landing and soft landing. Both...
LOWER VOLUMES PERSIST Earlier this week, we witnessed approximately $2B in open interest being unwound within a matter of hours—a significant forced deleveraging event for an otherwise uneventful Tuesday, lacking a clear catalyst. In our view, the selloff was largely technical and indicative of the negative seasonality we've been discussing recently. To backtrack, Monday and Tuesday followed a dovish Fed pivot at Jackson Hole, sparking a sharp rally in soft-landing...
WHAT HAPPENED We won't spend time diving deeply into the events of the past few days as most are likely already familiar. In short, concerns about a potential domestic recession were ignited last Friday following a weak jobs report. This caused the dollar, particularly the USDJPY, to decline, triggering an unwinding of the yen carry trade and leading to widespread deleveraging across global markets. During such a global margin call,...
Shifting Election Odds Erases “Trump Premium,” but it Remains Difficult to Be Bearish Amid Falling Rates and Dollar
IDEAL FOMC OUTCOME This week's events have been a reminder that while macro factors can align favorably, idiosyncratic elements can sometimes complicate the picture. On Wednesday, the Federal Reserve decided to hold interest rates steady until September. Notably, the FOMC statement emphasized the Fed's dual mandate, a significant shift from previous communications. Fed Chair Jerome Powell expressed a dovish stance, indicating a potential openness to rate cuts in September, contingent...
