In today’s Delphi Daily, we examined the price action of the top 10 crypto assets, analyzed options & implied volatility, and looked at recent trading volumes.
For more 🧵👇
1/ When it rains in crypto, it pours. And while $BTC holding up well isn’t a surprise, seeing $BNB and $ETH find strength during these conditions definitely is.
$AVAX, which was the top performer until a few days ago, has taken quite the beating.
2/ The DVOL index, which measures implied volatility (IV) on a 30-day forward basis, has actually gone down in recent days.
IV is a measure of market uncertainty; when things get dicey, it tends to rise, and when things look unidirectional, IV usually falls.
3/ Everything to the left of $57K measures the IV of puts, while readings above $57K measure call IV.
Fatter, higher tails towards the left side implies puts are getting more expensive as participants turn their focus towards hedging spot or speculating on further downside.
4/ Throughout November, we’ve seen @binance’s total spot volume stagnate while spreads for a $5M BTC trade got wider.
All in all, the market doesn’t look too hot here, but taking the long view, we believe any near-term downside volatility will wind up being rather short-lived.
0/ Jerome Powell’s hawkish comments sent markets for a spin.
In today’s Delphi Daily, we explore the results of Fed Chairman Jerome Powell’s comments, $LUNA ATH, monthly $ETH emissions, and Ethereum DEX trading volume.
For a deeper dive 🧵👇
1/ US equity markets opened higher today, recovering from yesterday’s dip incited by Chairman Powell’s comments.
This doesn’t mean the Fed will stop expanding its balance sheet, but rather implies an acceleration of the rate at which they plan to decrease their monthly purchases
2/ $LUNA hit a fresh all-time high yesterday.
LUNA’s circulating supply saw a sharp spike on Nov. 11, caused by an increase in the amount of LUNA to be burned from the community pool over the next two weeks.
Approximately 88.675M LUNA will be burned over this period.
0/ ETH/BTC has shown strength, but can it break out from here?
In today’s Delphi Daily, we analyzed ETH/BTC testing trendlines, open interest, market sentiment, and @loopringorg’s L2 growth.
For a deeper dive 🧵👇
1/ ETH/BTC is testing the upper trend line for the third time in the past year.
ETH/BTC has shown considerable strength as of late, having mostly stayed around the upper bound of its established range.
$ETH generally outperforms $BTC when market sentiment is positive.
2/ Crypto markets have been ravaged by fear in the past month, but futures traders seem to be unfazed by it.
With BTC retracing the past week, the Fear & Greed Index nearly hit a state of extreme fear. However, after a little dip, OI bounced back hard within a few days.
In today’s Delphi Daily, we examined the recent success of metaverse tokens, recent funding rates, @iearnfinance’s fundamentals, and @convexfinance’s continued dominance.
For a deeper dive 🧵👇
1/ @ConvexFinance continues to dominate the @Curvefinance wars as it owns the largest share of $veCRV among other yield aggregators, growing from 32% in September to 39% today.
Currently, each locked $CVX is in control of ~5.94 veCRV.
2/ @iearnfinance continues to hold itself as the blue-chip yield aggregator, producing a strong revenue stream to the protocol.
$YFI is currently trading at ~9.8x P/E, the lowest it has been since end-June.
At its current pace, its 30D average annualized revenue is ~$118M.
In today’s Delphi Daily, we analyzed total $ETH burned since EIP-1559, @bobanetwork’s TVL, $CRO and $AVAX outperforming other L1s, and rate hike expectations increase on Powell’s renomination.
🧵👇
1/ @BobaNetwork is an L2 @OptimismPBC Rollup developed by core contributors of the OMG foundation and based on the open-sourced Optimism codebase.
TVL on Boba Network has grown exponentially since the middle of Nov, coinciding with the start of @OolongSwap’s liquidity mining.
2/ The $CRO token has outperformed other Layer 1 tokens this month, clocking and at an impressive ~344% in the month to date.
The CRO token is Crypto.com’s token and is also used as gas on Crypto.com’s chain, Cronos.
