Has the January Effect Applied to Crypto?

The January effect is a hypothesis that there is a seasonal anomaly in the financial market where securities’ prices increase in the month of January more than in any other month. This calendar effect would create an opportunity for investors to buy assets for lower prices before January and sell them after their value increases.

If this were the case, then everyone would do it and the effect would be negated.

But there’s another maxim, and this one states, “So Goes January, So Goes the Rest of the Year.”

While the S&P500 gained 5.6% in the month of January, the Russell 2000 (small caps) gained 9.7%…yet BTC itself gained 37.9%!

Will these numbers upset the Fed enough to get Jerome Powell to get hawkish yet again? Rising interest rates will squash the equity markets, but Crypto might just get a pass this time around since we’re so late in the hiking cycle.

Let’s see how tomorrow’s announcement plays out.

What is the goal of this portfolio?

The “Three Token Pillars” portfolio is democratically proportioned between the Three Pillars of the Token Economy & Interchain:

CryptoCurreny – Security Tokens (STO) – Decentralized Finance (DeFi)

With this portfolio, we will identify and take advantage of the opportunities within the Three
Pillars of ReadySetCrypto. We aim to Capitalise on the collective knowledge and experience of the RSC
community & build model portfolios containing the premier companies and projects
in the industry and manage risk allocation suitable for as many people as
possible.

The Second Phase of the RSC Community Portfolio V3 was to give us a general idea of the weightings people desire in each of the three pillars and also member’s risk tolerance. The Third Phase of the RSC Community Portfolio V3 has us closing in on a finalized portfolio allocation before we consolidated onto the highest quality projects.

What is the goal of this portfolio?

The “Top Ten Crypto” portfolio is a democratically proportioned portfolio balanced based on votes from members of the RSC community as to what they believe are the top 10 projects by potential.

This portfolio should be much more useful given the ever-changing market dynamics. In short, you rank the projects you believe deserve a spot in the top 10. It should represent a portfolio and rank that you believe will stand the test of time. Once we have a good cross-section, we can study and make an assessment as to where we see value and perhaps where some diamonds in the rough opportunities exist. In a perfect world, we will end up with a Pareto-style distribution that describes the largest value capture in the market.

To give an update on the position, each one listed in low to high relative risk:

SoV/money == BTC, DCR

Platforms == ETH, XTZ

Private Money == XMR / ZEC / ZEN

DeFi == MKR / SNX and stablecoins

It is the most realistic way for us to distill the entirety of what we have learned (and that includes the RSC community opinion). We have an array of articles that have gradually picked off one by one different projects, some of which end up being many thousands of words to come to this conclusion. It is not capitulation because we all remain in the market. It is simply a consolidation of quality. We seek the cream of the crop as the milk turns sour on aggregate.
