2100NEWS WEEKLY CRYPTO REPORT Apr-7

The NWST1100 index has fallen by 1.25% over the previous week. ICON (ICX), Large-cap Coin, is a member of the NWSL100 crypto index, making the most significant jump in our ranking over the last two weeks.

*Below, we present a standardized weekly report and next week’s outlook, prepared based on the Theory Swingtum of intelligent finance. We gauge the crypto market’s breadth and direction by showing charts 2100NEWS Digital Assets Total Index (NWST1100), which measures 1100 (by market capitalization) significant crypto assets’ performance. The information-laden chart is difficult to read initially, but the chart shows essential price information, crucial decisive price levels, momentum, trading volumes, and crypto market breadth. 

The previous report showed last week’s assumption. “A move to resistance R2 was likely, but a pullback to the 25-Day EMA was possible.” The NWST1100 chart shows the index had topped below the hurdle (Upper Keltner line) and then tested 10-Day EMA. Momentum indicators at the top show: PPO lines and histogram, and RSI; they flattened, as well as the Crypto Market Breadth indicators (at the bottom of the chart).

The chart on the right shows The percentage of digital assets trading above a 50-day moving average breadth indicator: All four A50R lines are at the midpoint, a rare and usually short-lived market indecision condition.

* The percentage of digital assets trading above a specific moving average is a breadth indicator that measures internal strength or weakness in the underlying index. The chart on the right side compares the percentage of DA trading above 50 days EMA for:

1. 100 Large-caps members of NWSL100 (top box)
2. 1100 members of NWST1100
3. 100 Ethereum Tokens members of NWSET100
4. 100 Coins members of NWSCo100 (bottom box)

Outlook for this week

The waves are at least partially predictable due to their quasi-periodic nature. If we look ahead, the Momentum indicators give us the following signals: RSI is 55; RSI, PPO histogram, PPO lines, and the Breadth indicators at the bottom of the first chart (NWST1100) may start rising. Based on this setup, a move over resistance R1 is likely.

Performance of various groups of Digital Assets (Coins and Tokens) 

The table shows that the total (NWST1100) index has fallen 1.25% over the last week. In the chart below, we can see Bitcoin, Ether, and the 2100NEWS Indices, which measure the performance of Ethereum-based tokens (NWSET100), Large caps (NWSL100), and Coins (NWSCo100). Bitcoin has led the crypt markets upward and has been the best-performing during the previous thirty days (+45.59%).

Crypto (Digital Assets) compared with global equity

The chart compares the performance of the average Digital Asset (Coins, Tokens) represented by our NWST1100  index with the average global share represented by the Dow Jones Global W1Dow index. Their quotient hit a record high 17 months ago. The Percentage Change Marks on the chart show that NWST1100 lagged behind  W1Dow by 44.0% over the last 12 months, while NWST1100 was 46.8% higher this year. The blue curve is the average index price during the previous twelve months. The quotient shows that crypto investments are much more successful after rebounding and growing.  If we bought one NWST1100 every day over the last twelve months, our purchases are a bargain and highly profitable. That’s why buying (building your investment) was necessary when the price was low. Mean reversion, or reversion to the mean, is a theory used in finance that suggests that asset price and historical returns eventually will revert to the long-run mean (brown dashed line – 8.30).  The movement of the quotient will be closer to the mean so that the crypto markets will grow faster shortly.

*The box in the middle of the chart shows the original NWST1100 price; at the bottom is W1Dow.

Winner member

We gauged ICON (ICX) Large-cap Coin with 2100NEWS Digital Assets 100 Large Cap Index (NWSL100) to make an appropriate peer comparison. On average (violet area chart), the relationship between NWSL100  and ICX has shown that ICX was more potent over the last two months, and ICX has beaten NWSL100 by 62% during the previous ten weeks. First, compare the ICX green area graph with the index (orange area graph) while observing the correlation graph. The correlation graph explains the semi-strong correlation (Pearson’s correlation coefficient = 0.41). It was moving in the same direction as the NWSL100; however, it has been a good representative of the NWSL100 index regarding price changes.

*We elect the member of the NWSL100 crypto index with the most significant jump in our ranking. We will examine how the market rates the project’s progress in case of price changes. It seems important to us whether the project is out of the ordinary tide of crypto project prices. Peer comparison should be efficient and effective, considering an investor’s point of view.
