2100NEWS WEEKLY CRYPTO REPORT May-24

The NWST1100 index rose 5.65% from the previous week. Akash Network (AKT), a large-cap Coin, has biweekly made the most significant leap in rank within the NWSL100 crypto index.

*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 complex to read initially, but the chart shows essential price information, crucial decisive price levels, momentum, trading volumes, and crypto market breadth. Monitoring Market Sentiment and Breadth is necessary to detect early signs of trend reversals or continued strength.

Our detailed analysis of the NWST1100 chart and related market indicators reveals essential insights into the current market conditions:

1. The analysis of the NWST1100 chart shows that the index has approached a resistance level, Pivot P. The market shows signs of consolidation after a rise, suggesting a potential easing of upward pressure. This rise was primarily influenced by the final decision on the approval of the first batch of spot Ethereum ETFs by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on May 23, 2024. The SEC’s approval of several spot Ethereum ETFs marked a significant milestone for Ethereum ETFs and reflected a cautious but progressive stance toward integrating cryptocurrencies into mainstream financial products.
2. Market sentiment: The Price Oscillator (PPO) lines and histogram bars showed a change in direction, hinting that the upward trend in prices might be losing momentum. This is supported by the RSI (Relative Strength Index), which remains in neutral territory but has begun to fall. This is supported by the RSI (Relative Strength Index), which remains in neutral territory but has begun to fall.
3. We are now focusing on the breadth indicators at the bottom of the NWST1100 chart. An upward trend in the McClellan Summation Index suggests a broader market recovery.

Based on these indicators, the market has digested the news about spot Ethereum ETFs. The consolidation phase and the potential loss of upward momentum indicate that while the initial reaction to the SEC’s decision was positive, the market is now evaluating the long-term impact of this development.

According to the chart on the right, three of four A50R lines were settled in the neutral territory. This condition suggests that a significant number of cryptocurrencies are trading near their 50-day moving averages. This breadth indicator measures the percentage of digital assets trading above a 50-day moving average. 

*This breadth indicator is essential in measuring the internal strength or weakness of the underlying index. Looking at the chart on the right side, we can see the A50R lines for four different categories of digital assets:

1. The top box shows the A50R lines for 100 Large-cap members of NWSL100.
2. The middle box displays the A50R lines for 1100 members of NWST1100, which is the Total Index measuring the performance of significant crypto assets based on market capitalization.
3. The third box shows the A50R lines for 100 Ethereum Tokens members of NWSET100.
4. The bottom box represents the A50R lines for 100 Coins members of NWSCo100., tako

Outlook for this week

This report aims to provide insights into the cryptocurrency market’s near-term outlook. While complete predictability remains challenging, the market waves show some degree of predictability with discernible patterns in market behavior. By examining momentum indicators, several signals emerge that offer insights into the potential direction of the market in the short term.

1. The RSI (Relative Strength Index), with an RSI reading of 60 and falling from the peak, hints that bullish sentiment might be losing steam. When the RSI moves down from a high level, it often indicates weakening buying pressure, suggesting a potential slowdown in upward momentum.
2. The behavior of the PPO lines and histogram are essential indicators of market momentum. The PPO histogram is approaching the zero line, indicating that the bullish momentum is being tested. Shifting from previous bullish tendencies could signal the beginning of sideways price movements. This transition often suggests that the market is preparing for a consolidation phase rather than a continued rise.
3. The Breadth indicators at the bottom of the first chart (NWST1100) may stay flat; if indicators such as the Advance-Decline Line (ADVL) or the McClellan Summation Index rise, this might suggest a broader market recovery. However, their current flat behavior indicates a lack of strong directional momentum in the market.

With these indicators in mind, the market shows signs of potential consolidation, suggesting that a significant upward breakthrough is unlikely. Instead, prices are expected to hover within a range (the upper segment of the Keltner Channel), reflecting a period of stabilization following recent gains. The RSI, PPO, and breadth indicators all point towards a market that will be digesting recent developments and preparing for the next phase.

Investors and traders often rely on historical performance data to make informed decisions about their cryptocurrency holdings. After analyzing the data in the table, the overall index rose 5.65% over the last week.

While the broader market was experiencing an upward trend, different segments, and individual cryptocurrencies exhibited varied performance dynamics. Ether was leading, and Bitcoin and indices NWSET100 and NWSL100 were weakening while the NWSCo100 was improving. Investors and traders might use this information to adjust their portfolios.

*RRG® charts show the relative strength and momentum of groups of digital assets. Those with strong relative strength and momentum appear in the green Leading quadrant. As relative momentum fades, they typically move into the yellow Weakening quadrant. If relative strength then fades, they move into the red Lagging quadrant. Finally, when momentum picks up again, they shift into the blue Improving quadrant.

Crypto (Digital Assets) compared with global equity

This report offers a comprehensive analysis comparing the performance of digital assets, as signified by the NWST1100 index, to shares on global capital markets, embodied by the Dow Jones Global W1Dow index. We draw insights into historical achievements and potential future trends by examining their performances over various timeframes.

Let’s break down the key observations and implications:

• Historical Performance Comparison:
  • 30 Months Ago: Digital assets showcased a notable outperformance against shares in global capital markets, reaching a record high in the comparative quotient between the NWST1100 and W1Dow indexes. At this juncture, digital assets displayed a notably superior performance trajectory compared to shares on global capital markets.
  • Twelve months ago, the advantage for digital assets became even more pronounced, with digital assets outperforming shares by a margin of 84.1%. This stark difference highlights the substantial returns that digital assets have offered over traditional shares within this timeframe.
• Mean Reversion Opportunity:
  • Over the past 143 working days, the average quotient price, represented by a blue dashed curve, stands at 8.69, while the current spot price is 10.21. This is significantly higher than the long-term mean of 6.81.
  • The mean reversion theory suggests that asset prices, over time, tend to revert to their historical average returns. The current average quotient price above the long-run mean could imply that digital assets are currently highly valued compared to historical trends.
• Returns Comparison:
  • The chart also presents the returns achieved with the stock generated by buying one point of the respective index daily over the past twelve months.
  • The NWST1100 Crypto Index enjoyed a 125.40% appreciation relative to last year’s period. With daily index investments, an investor’s stock would have seen a 56.4% uplift compared to the index’s current price.
  • Contrasting with the crypto index, the DJW, representing global capital market shares, grew by 22.03% over the past year. However, a strategy involving daily purchases would have resulted in a gain of 11.5%.
  • Expectations are rife. Digital assets purchased over the preceding 12 months at an average price of 3,885 points seem poised to offer magnified returns compared to shares.

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