Long-term insights
Net position relative to whale exchanges
Net exchange position
Is the current phase of the market approaching a top?
This is the theme explored in the current week;
In view of this topic, we should look for it from the rigidity of the use of funds itself, which is the most core direction of funds flow.
(The following figure shows the net position relative to the whale exchange)
The data from whales shows that they are still accumulating more funds and crypto assets.
The overall selling pressure has also begun to slowly decrease, and the market has returned to equilibrium. The expectations for the halving in April have been adjusted, and the sell-off has been understood in advance. This month may be an important stage in reaching equilibrium.
(Figure below: Exchange net position)
Every time there is a big sell-off, or when the market is about to peak, there will be a large amount of net position selling.
Fortunately, there is not much inflow into the exchanges at this stage.
On the contrary, more investors or institutions are moving their chips from exchanges to their wallets. This is a huge accumulation, and the market is still in the buying and accumulation stage.
The chips in the exchange are decreasing, which is good news. If this purchasing power can be sustained, the halving may continue to have a driving effect on prices.
Mid-term exploration
Total impact
Exchange Trend Net Position
Positive sentiment on the Internet
Accumulation trend points
(Total impact amount in the figure below)
After a period of adjustment and repair, the market has now reached a lower point of temporary selling pressure.
As the total impact continues to converge, the pressure on the market is also easing.
The near term may be a time of lower risk.
Of course, dynamic observation is needed.
(Figure below shows the trend of net positions on exchanges)
The overall net position of the exchange presents a trend structure of outflow accumulation.
At the same time, combined with the total impact volume, if there is no further selling pressure, the market may gradually enter a stage with less pressure.
By then, a better trend may be brewing.
(Figure below: Network sentiment positivity)
Although the overall selling pressure has eased, trading sentiment is still in a state of adjustment and repair, and has not shown any right-side signals or tendencies.
Perhaps the overall network sentiment still needs to be adjusted and repaired, and the market needs to be sorted out for a period of time.
(The following figure shows the accumulation trend)
The accumulation situation at the current stage is relatively weak, and the enthusiasm for participating in the current market may still be relatively cautious.
From the status of each address, it can be seen that currently only addresses > 10k are slowly accumulating chips, but the pace is relatively cautious.
At the same time, this model also reflects that the enthusiasm for participation in the past month has been relatively cautious.

Derivatives rating: The risk factor is in the danger zone and the derivatives risk is relatively high.
(The figure below shows the risk factor of derivatives)
The market performance was basically in line with last week's expectations, with long and short liquidations due to shocks. The current risk factor is in a dangerous area, but the liquidation volume of derivatives is not large. It is expected that the market may still see two-way liquidation of derivatives this week.
(The figure below shows the option intention transaction ratio)
Both the put ratio and option trading volume have dropped significantly.
(Figure below shows derivatives trading volume)
Last week, we mentioned that trading volume was already at a low level, indicating that it was close to another change in the market. Currently, after a brief rise in the market, it has fallen back to a low level.
(The figure below shows the implied volatility of options)
There has been a small increase in implied volatility in the short term.
Emotional state rating: Neutral
(The following figure shows the amount of profit and loss transfer)
The cost of short-term holders has reached around 59k. This week, the cost of short-term holders has only increased slightly, while the positive and panic sentiments have continued to decrease, which leaves enough room for a change in the market.
(Figure below shows newly added addresses and active addresses)
New and active addresses are at a median level.
Spot and selling pressure structure rating: Overall, it is in a state of large-scale accumulation of outflows, and the selling pressure is relatively low.

(Figure below shows high-weight selling pressure)
There is no high-weight selling pressure at the moment.

This week’s summary:
WTR public real trading section:
Starting from February, the actual status of funds will be disclosed on a regular basis every month.
Strategy: prudent strategy.
Initial capital amount: US$240,000.
Current funding: US$318,700.
Yield: 32.7%.
Summary of news:
From a macro perspective, BTC is negatively correlated with U.S. Treasuries, BTC is negatively correlated with the U.S. dollar, BTC is a risky asset, and the latter two are "safe-haven assets". During the interest rate hike period, the latter two soared, and BTC plummeted.
The yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury bond rose from 2% in 2022 to 5% in October 2023 (BTC fell), fell to 3.8% in December (BTC rose), and recently rebounded to 4.4% (BTC fell).
By grasping the turning point of the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield, we can grasp the direction of the entire crypto trend.
The market currently generally believes that as interest rates fall this year, U.S. Treasury yields will continue to fall.
Logically speaking, the funds that can be allocated to cryptocurrencies will not decrease, and may even increase. The overall downside risk of cryptocurrencies will be reduced accordingly, and may even resume its upward momentum.
Of course on the other hand:
The current situation is very similar to when Satoshi Nakamoto created crypto and he wrote that “the Chancellor is on the brink of a second round of bank aid”.
If Bitcoin loses its function during the liquidity injection cycle this time because it does not match its own positioning, then the significance of Bitcoin's existence and the overall details of the adjustments made by major mainstream participants in the world to the overall encryption will also undergo greater changes, or it can be said that this is a major test.
On-chain long-term insights:
The selling pressure from whales is still decreasing, and April may be the month when the market enters a balanced stage;
Judging from the overall long-term net position, participants are still accumulating. If the buying trend continues, the chips after halving will be reduced, which will still have a role in promoting the market's rise.
Market setting:
Slowly move from selling pressure to equilibrium and accumulation stage.
On-chain mid-term exploration:
The recent pressure is relatively light;
The trending net positions on exchanges show that there is still outflow accumulation;
The overall trading sentiment is still recovering;
Participants have been more cautious in the past month.
