Ah, the markets! A stage where fools dance and wise men watch with mirth. Behold, the spectacle of digital gold and its comical companions! 🪙
What farce to witness:
- Bitcoin, that fickle dame, flirted with $94,800 on Monday, only to retreat to $93,600. Traders, ever the clowns, are torn between shorting and dreaming of a breakout to $98,900. 🤡
- SUI, the upstart, leaped 15% in a day, fueled by whispers of privacy features. XRP, meanwhile, continues its absurd ascent, up 29% since January 1. 🚀
- Retail traders, those merry fools, have surged into memecoins, with Pump.fun volumes hitting a ludicrous $1.27 billion. BNB Chain’s “Four Meme” tokens are all the rage, though overbought RSI readings hint at impending doom. 🎢
Bitcoin, that proud peacock, strutted to its highest since mid-November, only to falter at the same barrier it failed to breach in December. Some traders, ever pessimistic, short the level, while others dream of a breakout to $98,900-a level once held dear between June and November. 🦚
Altcoins, those court jesters, rallied with glee. SUI added 3% since midnight UTC, capping a 24-hour rally of 16%, while XRP continues its absurd barnstorming, up 29% since January 1. 🎭
The memecoin sector, a carnival of chaos, saw trading volumes on Solana-based Pump.fun hit a record $1.27 billion, a testament to retail traders’ boundless folly. The CoinDesk Memecoin Index (CDMEME) rose 1.5%, taking its year-to-date gain to 19%. 🎪
Derivatives positioning
- Crypto futures, those wagers of the witless, saw over $400 million liquidated in 24 hours. Most were shorts, a sign traders began the year expecting a slide. How amusing their folly! 😂
- BTC global futures open interest (OI) held steady at 660K BTC, while XRP OI jumped to 2 billion XRP, the highest since October 11. Capital flows into XRP as its price hits multiweek highs-a tale of greed and hope. 💸
- Funding rates for most major cryptocurrencies remain positive, a bullish bias. Yet, tokens like SOL, TRX, ZEC, SHIB, and UNI stand out with negative rates, a buildup of bearish shorts. A comedy of contrasts! 🤔
- Volmex’s BVIV index, the barometer of BTC’s volatility, reversed Monday’s spike from 44% to 47%, signaling continued calm. How dull! 🌊
- On Deribit, put bias in BTC and ETH eased as traders chased upside via calls. Block flows featured BTC and ETH call spreads and BTC strangles-a dance of speculation. 💃
In this theater of the absurd, who shall emerge triumphant? The bulls, the bears, or the fools who trade memecoins? Only time, that great satirist, will tell. 🕰️
