1.1. Market Sentiment
This week, the total market value of cryptocurrencies reached $1.23 trillion, an increase of 2.49% compared to the previous period. The trading volume of exchanges increased by 1.23% compared to the previous period, reaching $1.08 trillion. The price of Bitcoin is fluctuating around $98,000, and the dominant trend is still consolidation.
According to the Gate.io Fear and Greed Index, today's market sentiment is "panic", with a fear and greed index of 44, indicating an overall pessimistic market sentiment.
1.2. Macroeconomic Impact
Recent data shows that the global economic recovery is slowing down, with sustained inflationary pressures. The initial value of the euro area's CPI in January was 8.5%, higher than the expected 8.4%, with a year-on-year increase of 7.0%, in line with expectations. The CPI for January in the United States was 0.5%, higher than the expected 0.4%, with a year-on-year increase of 6.4%, higher than the expected 6.2%. The probability that the Fed will maintain the interest rate unchanged in March is 85.5%, and the probability of a 25 basis point rate cut is 14.5%.
The producer price index reflects the upstream cost pressure. The euro area's January PPI was -3.8% monthly, with a year-on-year increase of 15.1%. The US January PPI was 0.7% monthly, with a year-on-year increase of 6.0%, higher than the expected 5.4%. Upstream cost pressure is transmitted to final consumption, pushing up inflation levels.
The Purchasing Managers' Index is a leading economic indicator. The Eurozone's manufacturing PMI for February came in at 48.5, lower than the expected 49.0, marking the seventh consecutive month in contraction territory. The US manufacturing PMI for February ended at 47.7, lower than the expected 47.8, reaching its lowest level in nearly three years. Economic activity continues to slow down.
Overall, the high inflation and economic slowdown macro situation has intensified the dilemma of monetary policy. The risk of excessive interest rate hikes suppressing the economy faces the Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank, while they also need to continue to contain inflation expectations. This uncertainty has increased the volatility of the cryptocurrency market.
1.3 Economic Calendar
Analysis:
2. Analysis of Fundamentals and Price Volatility
2.1. Price Fluctuation Analysis
BTC Volatility Based on the daily closing prices of BTC in the past week, the weekly volatility of BTC is approximately 2.78%.
Price Movement Analysis
Last week, the price of BTC fluctuated in the range of $97,000 to $105,000. The price increase was mainly driven by continued buying from institutional investors. The recent tense geopolitical situation is the main reason for the price drop.
Trading Volume Impact A significant increase in trading volume often indicates a significant price fluctuation. Last week, the daily average trading volume of BTC increased by about 20% compared to the previous week, indicating an increase in market activity. The increase in trading volume may also trigger further price increases.
Market Outlook Based on the analysis of comprehensive analysts and technical indicators, the market still maintains a bullish sentiment towards BTC. If it can effectively break through the $106,000 mark, the BTC price is expected to usher in a new round of upward trend. However, we also need to be cautious about the downward pressure that geopolitical risks may bring.
2.2. Fund Analysis
Bitcoin fund flow According to the data, the recent net inflow of funds for Bitcoin is showing a negative value, indicating that funds are flowing out. On February 7th, the net outflow amount was as high as 393 million US dollars, reflecting cautious market sentiment. However, the overall outflow of funds slowed down last week, suggesting that investors may be seeking new entry opportunities.
Solana Capital Flow Both SOL and SOLV tokens in the Solana ecosystem are showing net outflows of funds. Among them, SOL had a net outflow of 801 million US dollars on February 7, and SOLV had a net outflow of 800,800 US dollars on the same day. Continued outflows of capital may exacerbate downward pressure on the Solana ecosystem.
Algorand Capital Flow Algorand's ecosystem token ALGO had a good net inflow of funds this week. Data shows that on February 7th, ALGO had a net inflow of $3.012 million, reflecting investors' favor for the public chain ecosystem. The good funding situation is expected to support the rise of ALGO's price.
Fetch.ai Fund Flow The net inflow of funds for Fetch.ai's ecosystem token FET this week is also impressive. On February 7th, FET had a net inflow of $803,400, indicating that investors have high expectations for the future of the public chain. The price of FET may be boosted by positive factors in terms of funding.
2.3. Smart Money Analysis
The flow of smart money often predicts the market trend. By analyzing the changes in large block transaction volume, we can discern the movement of institutional funds.
BTC: Recently, the trading volume of large BTC orders has increased, indicating that institutional funds are flowing in. This means that the bullish momentum is relatively strong, and there is room for further growth in the future. However, the selling pressure cannot be ignored, so it is expected that BTC will maintain a range-bound trend.
ETH: Compared with BTC, the large single transaction volume of ETH does not change significantly. This indicates that institutions are more cautious about ETH. The future market of ETH may continue to be in a oscillating pattern, with insufficient upward momentum.
SOL: The large single transaction volume of SOL has recently increased significantly, indicating that institutional funds are heavily involved. This indicates that there may be a wave of upward trends in the future market of SOL. However, the upward potential depends on the subsequent fund flow.
DOGE: The large transaction volume of DOGE is continuously decreasing, reflecting the withdrawal of institutional funds. This means that there is significant pressure on the future market of DOGE and the risk of a decline is increasing.
Overall, the flow of smart money indicates that BTC and SOL may rise in the future, while ETH and DOGE face downward pressure. However, the movement of large funds also needs to be analyzed in combination with other technical and fundamental factors.
