0/ In today’s Delphi Daily, we analyzed a few key $BTC data points to gauge sentiment.

These include BTC futures basis, net flow to/from miners, and BTC MVRV ratio.

Check out the full analysis 👇 👇

delphidigital.io/reports/delphi…
1/ Quick Market Update-

🔹Today’s looking like another (mildly) green day for crypto.

🔹 $ETH and BTC are up 5% and 2% respectively, while $CRV and $DOGE lead the way up 30% each.
2/ The MVRV ratio is a on-chain metric that measures Bitcoin’s market value (MV) against it’s realized value (RV).

The MVRV overextended in early 2011, late 2013, and early 2018, representing cycle tops.

May 2021’s reading could very well indicate the top for this cycle. Image
3/ Many believe we could still see an outcome that resembles 2013’s “double bubble”.

However, the Bitcoin market is completely different today, with institutional presence and industrial-scale mining operation.

Conversely, the threshold for the bottom has increased over time.
4/ According to miner flow data from @glassnode, miners were pretty caught off guard by the latest market crash and they still aren’t dumping.

So long as miners refusing to dump their BTC en masse offers some reassurance we aren’t likely facing another multi-year bear market. Image
5/ There is a lack of historical data with options and futures taking off at the end of 2017.

The limited data indicates the recent crash was driven by a ton of longs getting liquidated.

On the bright side, futures in May basis didn’t fall as hard and recovered very quickly. Image
6/ By now its clear there’s a lot of conflicting data and sentiment, but all hope isn’t lost for BTC bulls (yet).

At the very least, we should see an episode of mean reversion in coming weeks as price deviated far from its 50 day moving average. Image
7/ Time for Tweets of the day!

Guggenhaim Partners launches a new fund that may trade cash-settled Bitcoin instruments.

8/ @OpenEthereumOrg , which maintains the Parity Ethereum client, will no longer be maintained after the London hard fork.

9/ China’s largest news network ran a segment on @Uniswap and rug pulls.

0/ In today’s Delphi Daily, we break down $BTC exchange inflows, @DeribitExchange futures trading at -75% basis, and gas hitting 1700 gwei.

Check out the full analysis! 👇

delphidigital.io/reports/delphi…
1/ May 2021 hasn’t been kind to BTC bulls, but today was by far the worst day for the market since March 2020.

Over $2 billion in BTC positions —longs and shorts — were liquidated in today’s choppy market. Over $10 billion were liquidated across crypto perps and futures.
2/ As demand dried across BTC markets, the annualized basis for one month futures briefly traded at a big discount. @DeribitExchange had the worst reaction, with basis reaching -75%.

This was a result of heavy selling across futures market causing them to go into backwardation.

0/ In today’s Delphi Daily, we look at @0xPolygon’s continued growth, DeFi tokens leading recent relief rally, and @uniswap v2 vs. v3 capital efficiency.

delphidigital.io/reports/delphi…
1/ Binance Smart Chain is experiencing capital outflow as Polygon’s TVL swells to $15 billion.

Price performance for both tokens is tracking capital flows, with $BNB experiencing a downturn and $MATIC flying.
2/ The Asia and Europe sessions caused a market bounce, with blue chips like $AAVE, $SNX, and $SUSHI leading the market.

Despite the US session opening with a sell off, these DeFi coins are still up over the past 2 days.

0/ In today’s Delphi Daily, we examined $BTC’s open interest and how BTC options can predict upcoming volatility.

We also examined @DeribitExchange’s 2021 futures flash crash. 👇

delphidigital.io/reports/delphi…
1/ A barrage of put buying ensued over the weekend as BTC closed the week down 20%.

Puts for the Dec. 2021 expiry have been the biggest hit amongst insurance buyers. Image
2/ @DeribitExchange’s Dec. 2021 futures witnessed a flash crash earlier today.

Given heavy put buying on the Dec. 2021 expiry, it’s likely that the futures crash was caused by market makers who sold puts hedged their positions by shorting the Dec. 2021 futures contract. Image

0/ Today we looked at YFI’s current run to ATH, @Uniswap’s highest single day of volume, and the amount of $ETH in smart contracts continues to rise. 👇

delphidigital.io/reports/delphi…
1/ Following months of choppy price action, YFI hit an all-time high, surpassing $90,000 at one point.

$YFI is now leading the current DeFi Rally.

This rally was further propelled by @iearnfinance embracing the dog coin phase. Image
2/ A week after Uniswap v3 launch, Uniswap v2 recorded $3.6 billion in daily volume. This marks the highest volume in any single day.

Dog coins are the primary catalyst for higher Uniswap volumes. Image

0/ Beware the Ides of March: A roman history lesson or a historical lookback at $BTC price?

Normally a volatile time of year for #Bitcoin and thus far 2021 has been no exception. Here's what to expect going forward. 👇
delphidigital.io/reports/beware…
1/ #Bitcoin started off 2021 with its best performance since 2013, nearly doubling over the first seven weeks of the calendar year (+98%).

Even after the end of February sell off, $BTC recorded its 5th consecutive month of gains.
2/ As we have covered before, $BTC price tends to struggle between mid February and late March. #Bitcoin price corrected ~21% over last week of February.

Thus far, BTC seems to be following a similar playbook in 2021.
