A. Market View

1. Macro liquidity

Monetary liquidity improved. The U.S. CPI in May fell to a three-year low year-on-year, but the Fed's dot plot still shows that there will only be one rate cut this year, which is slightly hawkish, and the market's desire for two rate cuts has not been fulfilled. The Fed's approach of trading time for space and preventing the market from betting on rate cuts too early may be the best choice, which can leave room for subsequent policy operations. The S&P and Nasdaq continued to hit new highs, and the crypto market fluctuated widely.

2. Market conditions

The top 100 companies with the highest market capitalization:

This week, BTC fluctuated widely, and altcoins fell across the board. As BTC is still attracting fiat currency inflows from ETFs, and new funds entering the cryptocurrency market are limited, the market performance of Altcoin has been limited. In fact, the Altcoin seasonal index has returned to the lows of the first half of 2023. In the past 90 days, only more than 20 of the top 100 Altcoin have outperformed BTC. The market hotspots are Base Chain Meme, BTC ecology and Binance new coins.

1. IO: It is decentralized AI computing power, and it may be pledged in the future. RNDR, which is on the same track, has a market value of 4.5 billion US dollars, and AKT has a market value of 1 billion US dollars. After the market rumor that OK was hit, Binance's new coins began to exert their strength, and the competition is always simple and unpretentious. 2. BRETT: It is the head meme of the Base chain. BRETT is a friend of PEPE. Coinbase's new wallet diverts more traffic to the Base chain. 3. PIZZA: The first BTC five-word inscription, it is the first meme of Unisat wallet BTC L2. The BTC ecosystem is relatively unpretentious.

3. BTC market

1) On-chain data

BTC inscription transactions are down. Since the halving in April, the number of BTC inscriptions has dropped sharply. Rune transactions have surged to account for 60% of daily transactions, indicating that speculation has shifted from inscriptions to the rune market.

The market value of stablecoins increased by 1%, and the overall trend of capital inflows was positive.

Institutional funds have been net inflows for five consecutive weeks, and the market expects the US monetary policy to cut interest rates.

The current indicator is 2.4, entering the middle stage. The long-term trend indicator MVRV-ZScore is based on the total market cost and reflects the overall profitability of the market.

2) Futures market

Futures funding rate: The rate dropped slightly this week. The rate is 0.05-0.1%, with more long leverage, which is the short-term top of the market; the rate is -0.1-0%, with more short leverage, which is the short-term bottom of the market.

Futures open interest: BTC open interest fell slightly this week.

Futures long-short ratio: 1.3, market sentiment is neutral. Retail investor sentiment is mostly a reverse indicator, below 0.7 is more panic, above 2.0 is more greedy. Long-short ratio data fluctuates greatly, and its reference value is weakened.

3) Spot market

BTC fluctuates widely, and the fluctuation is likely to continue until the end of July. The market liquidity is insufficient, and there are few beta opportunities for sector narratives, mainly alpha opportunities for individual stock manipulation.
