Since the beginning of this year, I believe most traders have had this feeling: the trading volume has decreased on weekends, market fluctuations have slowed down, and the market has often been sideways, just like a holiday.

If you do not trade frequently and are not very aware of whether the market is going sideways on weekends, let's take a look at the statistical data!

  • Note: I define sideways trading here as the candlestick state where the daily candlestick level does not deviate from the previous trend.

According to the data, 75.9% of the weekends this year were in sideways and volatile markets. For some traders, they would choose to stop trading in volatile markets; while some other traders would choose to increase the leverage ratio of a single position to ensure the profit and loss ratio and rate of return of the transaction.

However, as we increase leverage, we also magnify the risks, especially for those who usually trade with a high leverage ratio.

Therefore, if you pursue round-the-clock trading and do not want to miss the weekend market, a financial management tool from #Binance will be very suitable for you, and you do not need to complete the settlement manually, you just need to wait to receive the money.

  • Let you sing and dance on weekends and still make money~

1. Product Introduction - Interval Income Treasure

The cryptocurrency market is volatile, but prices usually rise and fall within a certain range. When the market is consolidating, traders believe that the market will not break through a certain price range. At this time, the range income treasure will be an excellent product to earn income.

In a ranging market, traders can use the Range Income Strategy to secure their winning position and earn extra income.

The above is Binance’s official introduction to the positioning of the Interval Income Treasure, but in fact, from my perspective:

The underlying support for the income of the interval income treasure should be a set of automatically executed interval trading strategies;

That is, it is a trading strategy similar to grid automatic trading, but there are certain differences between the two.

  • Grid is actively managed, and withdrawal is relatively flexible. Interval Income Treasure is an income tool between active and passive. Funds cannot be withdrawn temporarily, but you can preset the range in advance.

  • However, Interval Income Treasure does not have any intermediate transaction fees. You only need to determine the interval to get a stable income without watching the market.

The Range Yield Treasure also has certain differences from stablecoin financial management: the Range Yield Treasure is a market-based financial management tool, while stablecoin financial management usually lends funds to earn interest. The difference in interest rates depends entirely on the market's demand for funds at the time and who the lender is.

2. Competitive products

In order to investigate the competitiveness of this product in the market more objectively, I combined the comprehensive scores of several Cex competitors on CMC that were close to #Binance , and found that their financial management categories did not have any competing products with the same functions as [Interval Treasure].

Although in essence this may be a market strategy tool between active and passive, and the technical difficulty cannot be said to be very high, it has to be said that in the current market, it is a unique financial product among platforms of the same level.

  • Note: The surveyed platforms include Ouyi, Huobi, Gate, Bitget and other platforms that are widely used by Chinese users

The settlement period given by the product Interval Income Treasure is 2-14 days (within my statistics);

I think you can choose a short-term 2-day product before the weekend. Based on the above-mentioned data - 75.9% weekend sideways rate, there is a greater chance (as for why I will explain below) of getting returns from this sideways range.

For example, choosing 1000 points of Bitcoin and 100 points of Ethereum near the current price gives an annual rate of 41.21% and 63.52% respectively;

  • Of course, this rate of return will change to a certain extent every week, but in terms of time cycle, I would recommend using a short-term 2-day cycle, which has more stable data as support and does not require the risk of volatility in the current week or the next week.

From the perspective of rate of return, it is likely to be higher than the cost of stopping trading or conducting transactions on your own (I assume that you are a prudent investor. If you are keen on 100x contracts, you can ignore the views stated in this article)

4. Volatility during the weekend

Based on the 75.9% sideways rate, I also calculated the volatility of these consolidation markets. After my statistics on the volatility of the market that has been in the sideways stage this year, I found that: for all the markets in the sideways stage, the volatility is likely to be smaller than the range given by the interval income treasure.

Based on real data, the probability of BTC's sideways volatility being below 1,000 points in two days is 87%, of which 30.4% is below 500 points; while the probability of ETH being below 100 points is 95.7%, of which 39.1% is below 50 points, close to 40%.

  • On the whole, choosing ETH two dates will have a better profit and loss ratio.

5. Final Thoughts

Interval Income Treasure is not a principal-guaranteed financial product. I believe that the launch of any product is based on the premise of meeting user needs. Therefore, when choosing a product, we should examine our own investment style and position and configure the product in accordance with our actual situation.

  • From a trader's perspective, I would choose to make a short-term allocation because I often stop trading on weekends;

  • But if you are a long-term holder, you are holding coins instead of cash most of the time. In this case, you can still make reasonable liquidity allocations for the coins in your hands to earn cash flow or increase the amount of coins in your hands. The corresponding strategy is to make larger intervals and cycles, and choose to allocate in the recovery market after extreme market conditions, which will greatly improve the accuracy rate;

  • Therefore, it should be noted that if the market falls/rises out of the range during the period when you purchase the product, it will be difficult for you to guarantee the full principal in the end (of course, this can be done by setting your acceptable risk ratio in advance)

In general, financial products may not be as eye-catching as high-multiple contracts in the crypto market, but they are an option that cannot be ignored for every trader and investor on their way to maturity and asset allocation. According to their own asset status and investment needs, they can reasonably allocate funds and avoid over-concentrated investment.

There are a wide variety of financial products on the market, but if you only pursue yield without considering the security of the platform, it is undoubtedly irresponsible to your funds.

As the world's leading cryptocurrency trading platform, Binance is widely recognized for its security. So if you don't recognize the security of Binance's funds, it will be difficult for you to trust other trading platforms.
