Affected by Iran's launch of hundreds of missiles in retaliation against Israel yesterday evening, Taiwan stocks, U.S. stocks and cryptocurrencies simultaneously fell sharply. BTC also fell by 3.98% yesterday, with the largest drop from the high of $66,000 at the end of September to about 8.7%. , the largest decline in the past month, and other Altcoin also experienced declines of more than 5%. This wave of black swans has undoubtedly caused great harm to the market.

After this wave of decline, the famous fear and greed indicator immediately changed from greed to fear, which shows that the market is worried about the market outlook. Especially after the US Federal Reserve decided to cut interest rates by two points in September and Japan announced to maintain interest rates, the market can be said to be open. Celebrating the market, whether it is BTC, ETH spot ETFs or stablecoin issuance, they are moving in an optimistic direction. However, this wave of war between Israel and Iraq has made the market worry about whether the scale of the subsequent war will continue to expand. When yesterday's incident occurred, we judged that Some positions will also be liquidated urgently to prevent excessive losses caused by uncontrollable subsequent events. The entry will be re-evaluated after the follow-up of the event is more certain.

Regarding the price trend of BTC, the short-term decline stopped in the yellow support range of US$60,000 to US$62,000. This position is more critical. The main reason is that from the perspective of the overall structure, it has risen since the bottom in September. Breaking through this range can be defined as the second wave of rise. , at present, as long as the price can stabilize above this range, the bullish structure has not been destroyed, and it will continue to be bullish in the future, but as long as the price falls below this range, it is likely to mean that this wave of interest rate cuts is over. At present, the short-term is an opportunity to buy low. BTC has oversold. Many Altcoin have also been aggressive in this wave, and their prices have fallen to support positions. For example, CRV, IOTA, and TIA have all received support in the short-term, which you can refer to.

China is letting off steam, and A-share prices are rising sharply, attracting capital outflows from the crypto.

China released a series of measures to stimulate the market last week, causing the Chinese stock market to experience its largest single-day rise in 16 years on September 30. A-shares have accumulated an increase of about 20% so far. As the market turns to a bull market, Chinese stock market investors are laughing and a large number of investors are rushing to invest in A-shares.

On the other hand, the crypto is relatively bleak. In the past few days, there should even be a lot of talk about the return of A- crypto in major crypto . From the figure below, the negative premium of RMB to USDT over the counter can also be seen. USDT The demand is gradually decreasing and has now reached a long-term relative low. Chinese investors have always played an important role in the crypto. If A-shares continue to rise, it will undoubtedly have a blood-sucking effect on the crypto.

Key U.S. data

The Institute for Supply Management (ISM) released the September manufacturing PMI on October 1, maintaining August's 47.2, shrinking for six consecutive months and lower than market expectations of 47.5, indicating that demand continues to be weak, output declines, and the manufacturing industry continues to be weak. , adding some variables to the prospect of a soft landing.

In addition, the United States will also release services PMI (October 3) and September labor market data (October 4) this week. In terms of the labor market, analysts predict that non-farm payrolls will increase by 144,000, slightly higher than August's 142,000, while the unemployment rate is expected to remain unchanged at 4.2%.

Labor market data is a key reference data for the Federal Reserve to measure economic conditions. Deutsche Bank economists pointed out in the latest research report: "While the overall data is important, the upcoming employment data will provide greater confidence for the Fed to We believe the weak trend is stabilizing." Although Federal Reserve Chairman Powell has declared this week that large interest rate cuts will not be the norm, and has predicted that there is a high probability of a 1-cent rate cut in each of the next two months, according to FedWatch data, the market still does not seem to rule out a 2-cent rate cut in November. possibility.

Labor market data will play a key role in this regard. If the data is not as good as expected, it will intensify the market's concerns about an economic recession and force the Federal Reserve to further cut interest rates.

Changes in crypto market structure

Excluding macroeconomic and geopolitical risk factors, the current situation in the cryptocurrency market is very different from that in the past.

In the current market environment, targets with rising momentum or that can attract investors to buy mostly revolve around "head projects with sound ecosystems" and "meme coins that grasp topic trends." There may be more than 80% of Altcoin in the entire market that are not in these two categories. These Altcoin lack narrative and profitability and can only follow the market trend.

Therefore, investors must be more cautious than before when selecting targets and avoid stagnating capital for a long time on Altcoin that lack momentum. If you do not have the ability to judge the potential of the project, it is better to abandon Altcoin and concentrate capital on leading projects such as BTC, ETH, SOL, and SUI, or simply withdraw money and invest in the Chinese stock market and wait for the market to find its narrative direction again.
