On-Chain Analysis To Start Of The Week Of 3/21

On-Chain Analytics and Derivatives from a pure price structure standpoint, Bitcoin has now been consolidating for roughly 2 months now.

From an on-chain perspective, this is visualized by URPD, which is very similar to traditional volume. The only difference is that this shows you the amount of Bitcoin’s money supply that has last moved at each denominated price level, making it more dynamic. You can see the cluster of volume in this $36k-$45k consolidation, with roughly 20% of Bitcoin’s money supply has moved here.

The spot premium we’ve been talking about for weeks is still persisting, making it longer than the regime that took place last summer.

Quarterlies Have Been Showing A Nice Cool Off. 

 

Quarterlies have been showing a nice cool off. 

As you can see in the chart, this basis has generally followed price for the last two years, although didn’t reach nearly as high as it did in late 2021 (18%)as early 2021 (45%).

As you can see over the last month or so this has just been trending down, not quite following price. IMO is another signal of lack of exuberance from the derivatives market in addition to open interest and general spot premium to perps.

Another Way To Visualize This Is By Comparing Bitcoin Prices To Quarterlies.

Overall, seeing a lack in exuberance from derivatives.

Let’s dive into a few on-chain supply dynamics. In pink we have the exchange supply shock ratio, showing you the number of coins available to be bought on exchanges versus coins, not on exchanges. The uptick this week shows a fair amount of coins withdrawn, particularly from Coinbase upon doing some further digging.

This (blue line) tells you the number of coins that are held by on-chain entities that have a statistical history of selling less than 0.25% of the BTC that they take in.

So, therefore, by definition, when illiquid supply ticks up it means coins are moving to entities that have a low probability to sell. Does that mean sometimes these entities can become liquid entities again? Yes, see May 2021, which was a leading indicator of the impending dump to 30k. But as with all forms of analysis, everything is based on probabilities.

This shows when long-term holders’ supply is increasing, outpacing the rate of supply growth for BTC.

I took this methodology and used supply that hasn’t moved in at least a year instead of long term holder supply to create the metric below:

Ultimately, to regain the momentum I still look to short-term holder realized price as the level that BTC needs to reclaim to regain momentum.

This was the level we flipped cautious below which was at 53k at the time when BTC broke below. Currently sits right around $46k.

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.

The ReadySetCrypto "Top Ten Crypto" Community Portfolio (V4)

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.
