Crypto Market Dominance
Crypto Sentiment
The sentiment towards the cryptocurrency market plummeted into the “extreme fear”
zone falling from 46 last week to “27” this week.
Another data to evaluate the sentiment of the general public would be to look at Spent
Output Profit Ratio (SOPR). What is SOPR? In laymen terms, it indicates if people have
sold at a profit or if they sold at a loss. An SOPR value above 1 indicates that profit
booking dominated loss booking and below 1 indicates that loss booking dominated
profit booking. A value of 1 indicates that the coins were sold at their purchase price.
The Adjusted SOPR filters out transactions that are younger than 1 hour, thus,
clearing out noise from the metric.
The aSOPR for this week is at 0.98 which indicates that the coins are being sold close to
their purchase price. For a trend reversal to take place, the metric should stay and
oscillate above 1.
Are we out of the Bear Market ?
The number of active addresses is directly proportional to the number of active users.
It is important to note that the number of active addresses doesn’t give the exact
number of active users as a user might have more than one address.
During a bull market, the number of active addresses increases tremendously and a
sharp fall is experienced as prices begin to fall showing weaker hands leaving the
market. Historically, we have seen the metric starts oscillating within a range after the
fall in the bear market and increases sharply as the market prepares to move out of
the bear phase. In the current market, the metric is moving sideways showing that the
market is sustained by the HODLers. We might see massive price movement once the
metrics start making higher highs.
Open Interest (OI) is defined as the number of open positions which includes both long
and short positions. An increase in OI means more contracts are being opened which
indicates more liquidity, volatility, and attention coming into the derivative market
whereas decrease in OI indicates less number of future contract or positions which
might trigger short/long squeeze.
Bitcoin prices have fallen by more than 15% in the last week, leading to a decrease in
open interest by 1.3 billion.
MVRV ratio is equal to the market capital divided by realized capital of Bitcoin. Realized
capital unlike market capital does not use the current market price, but rather uses the
prices each Bitcoin when they last moved.
Currently, the metric stands at 1.12. In the previous bear markets, we have seen that
the metric falls below 1 and oscillates below 1 for few days or months which mark the
bottom of the bear market. As the metric moves above 1, the trend reverses. Since, the
metric is above 1 and has started making higher lows, we can say that the market has
started moving out of the bear phase.
Stablecoin Supply Ratio (SSR) is the ratio of market cap of BTC divided by the market
cap of all stablecoins.
Low SSR value indicates high Stablecoin Supply compared to that of BTC market
cap indicating potential buying pressure and possible price rise.
High SSR value indicates low Stablecoin supply compared to the market cap of BTC
indicating potential selling pressure and possible price fall
After SSR made its bottom in June, the metric had been making an upward movement
for the past 2 years. The recent price drop has led to the drop in the metric from 5.5 to
4.7
