Unhosted Weekly: Crypto Market Overview #23
Consolidation Station š

š Last week in Crypto
ā BTC aged 1 to 3 months are being massively transferred to new addresses

Newbies who bought at the peak are getting rid of their coins at a loss
ā-
DeFi project World Liberty Financial is experiencing a floating loss of $124 million on 9 purchased altcoins

š The current correction size of BTC from the last ATH ($109,287) is 30%
ā How many corrections of this size (30%) have there been in the market since 2016?
- 10 , with an average size of 49.8%

ā How long on average did it take to restore to the previous ATN? - 10 months
ā-
š There is a significant divergence between the BTC price and network hashrate charts

Thus, miners remain confident despite the exchange rate risks associated with the correction.
This state of affairs can be considered a leading indicator for the price: significant resources are being invested in the production of coins, which makes BTC undervalued
Bitcoin Detailed Analysis

Short-Term Correction:
Bitcoin is in a corrective phase. We might see short-term ralliesāperhaps a bounce up toward $85Kābut theyāre likely to stall if key support levels (around the lower $70Ks) arenāt respected. History tells us that a weak Q1 (as seen in 2017) can precede a strong Q2, but only if the macro conditions eventually align.
Expect several attempts at support near the low-$80,000 region (spot) with the market showing a tendency to test those lows again.
Momentum & Technical Indicators:
Daily Stochastic Momentum is trending downward, indicating short-term bearish pressure, a confirmed daily breakout above 87k could indicate a higher move.
Multi-day time frames (2-day, 3-day, 5-day, weekly, and beyond) also reflect downside momentum, suggesting caution for immediate upside hopes.

Higher-Term Support & Macro Picture:
The 55-exponential moving average on certain higher-time-frame charts (e.g., weekly) has historically acted as a solid baseline for bounces.
Still, if momentum remains negative across multiple closing periods, deeper tests into lower support ranges (e.g., mid-$70,000 region) are possible.
Altcoin Highlights

General Weakness vs. Bitcoin:
Most altcoins are showing significant downtrends, below key moving averages like the 200 Simple and 377, however many alts are in the zone of demand and if BTC turns around we could see a juicy rebound from this levels.
Repeated mention of ālower highs, lower highs, lower highsā underscores that rallies have consistently failed to break key resistance.
Exceptions & Relative Strength:
XRP: Stood out as one of the stronger major-cap assets, staying above certain critical supports and major moving averages. Though still facing broader market headwinds, it appears more resilient relative to other large-cap coins.
ADA (Cardano): Also noted for holding key higher-term supports better than many other altcoins. Yet, upside hinges on Bitcoinās overall direction.
Meme Coins & Speculative Plays:
Many meme coins, or lower-cap tokens, have shown one-off parabolic moves but then retraced heavily.
Cautioned against chasing ā1000x narrativesā unless accompanied by disciplined risk management. (make sure your stop loss is in place)
Market Sentiment & Macro Considerations
Volatility on Display

Investors arenāt buying into the chaos. Last week, the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite (IXIC) slipped into correction territoryāplunging over 10% from its record high. Although Friday offered a glimmer of hope for stocks, the S&P 500 (SPX) still closed its worst week since September, down 3.1%. When you zoom out, the S&P 500 is barely holding above the flatline itās maintained since the election, wiping out over $3 trillion in market value from its late-February peak.
The Tariff Tango: Where Do We Stand?
So, where has this dizzying labyrinth of tariffs landed? And is this the final word? Not quite.
Canada and Mexico:
Trump declared thereās āno room leftā for these allies to bargaināa 25% levy was set to take effect immediately. But within a day, a month-long reprieve for carmakers was introduced, and shortly after, the 25% tariff on almost all goods from these neighbors was suspended.Looking Ahead:
Trump has hinted that a ābigā wave of tariffs is on the horizon for several countries, including the European Union, while only Chinaās 20% tariff remains in place for now.
Impact on the Dollar & Investor Sentiment
This roller-coaster of tariff decisions has sent the dollar (DXY) into a freefall, fueling chatter about a looming āTrumpcession.ā In essence, some traders and investors now expect these policies to push the American economy toward recession.
At the same time, the Federal Reserveāled by Jay Powellāhas managed to engineer a soft landing by cutting interest rates just enough to tame inflation without triggering a full-blown downturn. However, a growing worry is that the tariff-induced uncertainty might eventually force the Fed to pause or even pull back on its rate-cutting campaign, which could further dent consumer confidence and corporate earnings.
Strategy & Risk Management
Short-Term Trading:
Traders should be wary of sudden wicks that might invalidate or complicate tight stop-loss placements.
Use partial positions or employ more conservative entries, especially around major moving averages.
Long-Term Outlook:
For those holding a multi-year horizon, dips in Bitcoinās price remain potential buying opportunities.
However, no single price indicator or data point (e.g. single moving average) guarantees a reversal.
Hedging & Allocation:
Recommendation to keep some portion of capital in cash, especially if the portfolio is already heavily exposed.
The practice of partial profit-taking or partial hedging was viewed as a way to reduce stress during volatile moves.
AI mindshare is sitting at 29% this week, down 1%, but still almost double the next segment, DeFi. AI still owns the narrative, but the hype cycle may be coolingāat least for now.
