Introduction

There have been quite a few “bottom callers” on Crypto Twitter today anticipating an imminent reversal of the crypto markets. Will they be right, or will the macro-induced downtrend continue? Let’s look at some promising and some potential warning signs.

Market Outlook

  • Should you have been buying the dip yesterday and today in anticipation of a bullish reversal, or is it still time to be cautious? Well, that depends a lot on your risk appetite and whether you have been taking profits when the market was still hot. To be clear, the risk of making big moves now is still considerably high.

When you actually take profits you get excited about dips

  • There are several indicators and theories, however, that suggest that some short-term relief could be around the corner for Bitcoin and Co.

From an on-chain perspective, here's the key difference between now and May: In May: Previously strong hands became weak hands Now: Strong hands buying from weak hands

Think FOMC has a good chance to be a "sell the rumor, buy the news" event. Pair that with illiquid supply back at yearly highs and some large Bitfinex bids coming in. Just waiting for $53K to start bidding. Happy to miss some of the move and essentially pay for confirmation.

Fed likely to announce faster tapering at FOMC due to the latest 6.8% CPI print, but I suspect there will be no raising of rates. My gut says this is already priced into #BTC + top buyers have been capitulating for weeks. We'll see. Not a climate for taking big action.

Some signs of aggressive shorting now. Will they get away with it?

  • However, given the current rather hostile climate for risk assets, jumping headfirst into altcoins could be a risky undertaking, given that smart money seems to be sitting on the sidelines waiting out this uncertain period.

When the next bounces come. People will say bears are fucked. But what if bounces are just shorts closing to sell higher? Imo that’s what been happening. They’ve been in clear control for weeks

Nike Acquiring RTFKT

  • Yesterday, the news of Nike not just buying a single NFT (like Adidas did recently) but instead a whole NFT project, RTFKT, has caused quite a stir in the crypto community.

Visa bought a CryptoPunk. Adidas bought a Bored Ape. Nike acquired RTFKT. The common denominator? Ethereum. Not financial advice, just an observation 🙂

  • While the initial reactions to Nike’s NFT acquisition have been mostly positive and interpreted as a major step forward for the overall NFT movement, the news also provoked some critical voices:

Nike buys RTFKT Studios. This is great news for the NFT space. How do holders of RTFKT tokens capture direct value from this? Is the hype supposed to fuel value capture all by itself?

Love you all but damn y’all psychotic. Went from hating on big brands to worshipping Adidas and talking shit about Nike to saying no IP should be protected to buying copycats to now eagerly awaiting Nike metadrip. All in the course of 5 days. Let’s face it: it’s all about the 🤑

there is nothing so uncomfortable for early participants as the mainstreaming of something which was once niche
