1. Market Environment

The market experienced volatile declines yesterday, with BTC dropping sharply to the $66,000 mark, adversely affecting the overall wealth effect in the market. The net inflow state of BTC spot ETFs reversed, with a significant outflow of $85.7 million in traditional funds through spot BTC ETFs yesterday, marking a critical reversal in fund trends. Long positions experienced brief liquidations, resulting in significant losses for bullish traders.
The U.S. ISM Manufacturing PMI rose above the 50-point mark for the first time in a year and a half, indicating the U.S. economy remains strong, which greatly reduced the likelihood of a Federal Reserve rate cut in June. This indirectly caused the U.S. dollar index to rise to the 105 mark and the yield on 10-year U.S. Treasury bonds to increase by 11.7 basis points. The rise in the U.S. dollar index and bond yields negatively impacts the short-term sentiment for the crypto market, but the long-term trend remains unchanged, presenting an opportunity to buy the dip.

2. Wealth Creation Sectors

2.1 Sector movements — POW sector (BCH and LTC)

Main reasons: 1. BCH is one day away from halving, becoming a focal point in the market; 2. The post-halving selling pressure for BCH has decreased while the mining costs have increased.
Gainers: BCH surpassed $700, and LTC briefly surpassed $110 yesterday.
Factors affecting future market conditions:
  • BTC performance: The performance of PoW tokens is highly correlated with BTC. If BTC rises, PoW tokens generally trend upwards. It is essential to monitor BTC's pullback positions, as the PoW sector is expected to outperform BTC during the rebound, meriting continued attention.
  • Media exposure: BCH's upcoming halving is expected to receive considerable media coverage within the circle, marking a high traffic for BCH. If BCH does not experience a significant price increase within 1–2 days after media exposure, it may be worth considering taking profits.

2.2 Sector movements — Memecoins (BOME, MEME, and WIF)

Main reasons: 1. Vitalik Buterin stated that memecoins bring value to the ecosystem, supporting the issuance of memecoins; 2. New memecoins completed their consolidation and began a new upward trend.
Gainers: BOME rose by 8.4% in 24 hours, MEME by 8.3%, and WIF briefly surpassed $4.8.
Factors affecting future market conditions:
  • Traffic and exposure: The value of memecoins mainly lies in their ability to create a wealth effect. If memecoins continue to trend upward and receive media exposure, it will attract more users to speculate, which in turn provides solid support for their prices.
  • Project narratives: Memecoin projects will continue to create trading opportunities through narratives. Users are advised to pay attention to AMA events hosted by memecoin projects. If a project announces plans for promotions, product updates, or token operations during an AMA, it could be a good opportunity to enter the market.

3) Sectors to focus on next — BTC ecosystem

Main reason: CORE, a project within the BTC ecosystem, has seen a 3x increase in the past three days, highlighting a significant wealth effect. Market funds will probably continue to flow towards BTC ecosystem assets.
Specific tokens:
  • CORE: Plans to introduce BTC staking into its consensus mechanism in Q2 this year, building a DeFi ecosystem within the BTC ecosystem.
  • STX: Stacks' ecosystem development has been solid, and the overall segment TVL continues to reach new heights. The Nakamoto upgrade is expected to take place around April 15, greatly enhancing performance. The project is a solid BTC L2 target to buy the dip in the near future.
