1. Market Environment

Yesterday, Mt. Gox transferred over 107,000 BTC from its cold wallet for the first time in six years, involving approximately $7.2 billion worth of BTC. This move has sparked speculation about the future actions of Mt. Gox. Traders and market makers, in a move to hedge, started reducing their BTC positions, leading to a pullback after BTC reached $70,500. It is advisable for users to lower their account leverage and BTC positions until Mt. Gox's transfer intentions are clearer.
On a macro level, BTC ETFs have continuously been a channel for traditional capital inflows, with $2 billion entering over the past two weeks. As the U.S. midterm elections heat up, Trump's weekend announcement supporting the development of the crypto industry has garnered market attention. Both parties are likely to court crypto holders' votes in their campaigns, potentially leading to more positive news about the crypto industry before the elections.

2. Wealth Creation Sectors

2.1 Sector Movements – Meme Sector (WOJAK, FLOKI, and WIF)

Primary reasons:
  • WOJAK generated significant market activity yesterday with the community message "It's time to raise those price targets, brothers," indicating large capital involvement as observed on the candlestick chart.
  • FLOKI announced the completion of the beta version of its trading bot, with future transaction fees intended for buying back FLOKI.
Gainers: WOJAK rose 30% in one day, FLOKI by 15%, and WIF by 9%.
Factors affecting future market conditions:
  • Community information: Operations of memecoins significantly influence their market movements. Pay attention to AMA sessions and X posts. Timely trades based on new information can provide opportunities to establish positions early.
  • Changes in the open interest amount: The increase occurred yesterday in open interest for WIF and FLOKI indicates an influx of hot money. Utilize the tv.coinglass to understand the direction of major funds, monitor futures data, especially the increase in net long positions. Check again if there is a rise in open interest (OI) and trading volume. If so, it indicates increased bullish buying, suggesting that holdings can be maintained.

2.2 Sectors to Focus on Next — ETH Ecosystem Blue-Chip Projects

Primary reason: The ETH ecosystem is currently undervalued, and the ETH-BTC exchange rate has seen a continuous rebound recently. As ETF developments take shape and the SEC progresses with lawsuits against related DeFi projects, fundamentally strong projects within the ETH ecosystem present significant opportunities.
Specific tokens:
  • UNI: The first DeFi Swap project among blockchain applications, which received a Wells notice from the SEC last month. Uniswap is expected to soon present a self-defense, creating trading opportunities.
  • LDO: A leading LSD project within the ETH ecosystem. It has a TVL of $34.5 billion but is valued at just under $2.5 billion, making it relatively undervalued.
  • OP: Built using OP stack technology on the Base chain. Last year, the project signed a profit-sharing agreement with the OP Foundation, indirectly receiving an endorsement from Coinbase.
  • PENDLE: The project's TVL has been on a continuous rise, now standing at $5.7 billion. The increase in stablecoin market cap and high demand in the restaking sector have led to an increased demand for PENDLE's services during the bull market.
