Crypto Sentiment

This week the sentiment towards the cryptocurrency markets has not improved or
deteriorated. The fear and greed index has remained at “13”.

 

SOPR value had broken the value of 1 and has continued its downward trend. This
indicates that Bitcoin is still being sold at a loss. This is a classic panic selling behavior
and it is being quietly sold to the accumulators. Eventually the panic sellers will run out
of BTC to sell or may calm down.

 

 

Demand for Cryptocurrency

 

The poor price action could be attributed to the balance on exchanges. This onchain
has risen over the past week and is almost close to its local high. This however still
represents a small inflow in the relatively large outflow that has occurred since the
start of the year.

The overall buying behavior however seems to be strong, as the number of addresses
with at least 1 BTC is still on the uptrend and has been hitting new all-time highs.

Although the balance on exchanges has started to rise, the buying power of the
stablecoins in the entire cryptocurrency space is also increasing.

 

The SSR is currently at an all-time low which in laymen’s terms indicates that
approximately 28% of all Bitcoins can be bought from the markets. We can also infer
that money waiting in the sidelines and ready to be deployed in the markets. Once this
money is deployed the buying pressure is likely to move the price towards the upside.

 

 

Is the Smart money buying?

We will consider wallet addresses with more than 1000 Bitcoins. Based on the below
chart we can clearly spot accounts with more than 1000 BTCs are increasing &
decreasing at the same pace. This data point has started to stabilize, however one of
the biggest Bitcoin Spot ETFs has just increased its holdings significantly.

 

 

 

What could play out ?

The 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 it last moved.

 

The current MVRV ratio has fallen to 1.20 and is trending towards to the downside.
This likely indicates that the Crypto Market is extremely close to the bottom.

apartment purchases, making it yet another publicly traded
firm to adopt the digital asset.

In an ‘Ask me Anything’ session, there was a question asked
to CZ ” If Binance goes bankrupt, are users’ wallets safe?”
This might be a fear for almost all the users but Binance said
that it would reimburse the users before the shareholders if
the exchange goes bankrupt.
