Analytical review. Weekly 13.01.2022

6 min readJan 14, 2022

Macro view: After a significant decline in capitalization over the past few weeks, the market has reached a local support zone at 2 trillion. Industry news give support to the general sentiment as many crypto companies continue to successfully raise capital or launch large infrastructure funds. Simultaneously, the discussion of the future of the crypto market in the United States in Congress and the Senate is gaining momentum.

Main Focus:

Public comments from the head of the FED, recognizing stablecoins and their potential future impact.
The intention of several groups of companies (PayPall and a banking syndicate in New York) to issue their own stablecoins
The beginning of the discussion on the independent legal regulation of mining in the United States
Consistently high level of trading in the crypto derivatives market
The negative financing rate of margin positions on the largest crypto exchanges (when sellers pay buyers) encourages market participants to further increase long positions
Decreasing balances of bitcoin on centralized exchanges
Near protocol announces $150M fundraising
Binance launches $200M blockchain gaming funding fund

Trading strategies for DOT/BUSD

Local trend: The token is still ahead of the market dynamics. While total capitalization rose 10% from weekly lows (from 1.86 to 2.04 trillion), DOT added 20% (from 22.5 to 27.2). The ecosystem is supported by the local success of the participants’ projects (one of the first winners of the Moonbeam parachain auctions issued a token with an initial valuation of more than +2500%) and the ongoing blocking within the current series of auctions — the last two participants Efininty and Compossable finance blocked 13M DOT in total. However, keep in mind that the next round will take place from 20 to 27 January.

Trading strategies for WMATIC/DAI

Local trend: the Polygon team does not stop for a minute — the launch of another zk-rollup plonky2 scaling method, the announcement of the activation of the EIP1559 update, which will support token burning according to a scheme similar to Ethereum, an increase in the number of active addresses by 32% over several weeks allowed the price to remain at historical levels highs with excellent upside potential.

Trading strategies for BNB/BUSD

Local trend: The company maintains a high development plan. Binance Twitter is full of various new partnerships, promotions, launches of new projects. The introduction of a mechanism for the automatic burning of tokens (within a quarter and within the framework of the blockchain activity) allows us to talk about the transition of the project to a deflationary model. This level of activity and volume of news support the price of the token in a strategic perspective, and, like DOT, allow BNB to outperform the market (+20% from local lows).

Trading strategies for BTC/BUSD

Local trend: BTC continues to be the dominant cryptocurrency, setting a valuable marker for all other projects with its price. In the absence of major crypto news, the rate continues to correlate more and more with the stock market of American companies, especially technical ones. However, despite the fact that the current levels correspond to the calendar highs of the last year, the current assessment by investors is rather negative. A greater number of new market participants who came in 2020 and 2021 do not have the experience of protracted corrections and a long-term plan of action. Increasing pressure on the financial markets from the financial authorities is likely to have a restraining or negative impact on the exchange rate in the short term.

Trading strategies for WETH/BUSD

Local trend: Blockchain is actively preparing for the launch of the second version. One of the main public speakers and developers, Vitalik Buterin, recently spoke on the Bankless podcast, where he spoke about the main points of implementation and the planned launch dates. The constantly evolving system of decentralized applications and large-scale use sets a solid foundation for the further use of the token. At the moment, the blockchain may be inferior to individual projects in the token rise, however, the assessment of ethereum as an average sum of the entire ecosystem is still relevant.

Trading strategies for AAVE/BUSD

Local trend: The launch of the platform for corporate services and companies AAVE Arc has become a symbol of a new stage in the development of the project. A successful DAO forum with recent active discussions in topics dedicated to deployment on additional blockchains and the launch of version 3.0 only adds strength to the statement and future broad prospects. The token is actively used in various options trading strategies (covered call), and despite the inflation scenario of the issue, it showed growth from the lows of last November.
