🪙CRYPTO DIGEST🪙

Bitcoin (BTC/USD)
BTC remains rangebound, continuing the trend observed in recent weeks. The defined range of $90,000 (range lows) to $106,500 (range highs) remains intact, with the current all-time high (ATH) at $109,321 yet to see a breakout.

Starting this week, BTC swept the prior week's lows, establishing a local low at $97,750. Price has since reclaimed the midpoint of the range and is now testing the Yellow band on the FibMa for a potential reclaim. These levels—both the range midpoint and the Yellow band—will be critical to monitor. Whether price holds or rejects at these levels will likely determine which side of the range BTC trades in for the remainder of this week.

Ethereum (ETH/USD)
ETH/USD is currently trading above its cycle mid. This level will be pivotal in determining whether ETH can maintain its strength or if it risks a deeper correction. Should price drop further, the lower bound of the ascending channel will act as critical support.

Ethereum/Bitcoin (ETH/BTC)
ETH/BTC is at a critical juncture as it continues to hover near 0.03. Failing to hold this level could lead to a move toward 0.025, presenting a risk for ETH’s BTC valuation. However, I believe the current valuation represents an attractive risk-to-reward ratio for medium- to long-term accumulation.

Broader Altcoin Market (Total3/BTC and Others/BTC)
The broader altcoin market is at a tipping point against BTC. Both Total3/BTC and Others/BTC are testing their critical support levels. From here, the altcoin market will either confirm a shift in momentum—bolstered by broader economic improvements—or risk taking out the current cycle lows.

Macro and Economic Factors
This week is loaded with key economic data that will influence broader market sentiment:

• FOMC (Wednesday): Rates are expected to remain unchanged. However, watch how the bond market reacts, specifically the 2-year and 10-year yields (US2Y and US10Y). The ongoing un-inversion of these yields, after 28 months of inversion, is a critical signal. Historically, markets experience the most pain as the un-inversion nears 100 basis points, currently at 30 bps.

• Initial Jobless Claims and GDP Growth Rate (Thursday): GDP Growth Rate for Q4 is expected to drop from 3.1% to 2.8%.

• PCE (Friday): Personal Consumption Expenditure Price Index will be released, providing insight into inflation trends.

• End of Month (Friday): The end-of-month trading period typically brings increased volatility, so it’s essential to remain cautious.

🤑AIRDROPS🤑

$JUP Rallies after Catstambul
After last week’s airdrop, the $JUP token traded below $0.8 before rallying all the way to $1.2 over the weekend from many bullish announcements from their conference in Istanbul, including acquisitions of Moonshot and SonarWatch. Moreover, the most bullish news has to be its buyback program where 50% of protocol revenue will go towards buybacks of $JUP on the market.

📜FOR THE CULTURE📜

Crypto culture, DeFi, and AI amid market turbulence.

The recent downturn in technology and AI stocks, triggered by the emergence of China's DeepSeek AI model, has sent ripples through various sectors, including the decentralized finance (DeFi) landscape. DeepSeek's cost-effective AI solutions have raised concerns about the profitability of traditional AI ventures, leading to a reevaluation of investments across the board. In the realm of DeFi, the integration of artificial intelligence—often referred to as DeFAI—has been a burgeoning trend. This fusion aims to enhance financial ecosystems by leveraging AI to optimize decentralized financial services. However, the market's reaction to DeepSeek underscores the volatility inherent in rapidly evolving technologies and the need for robust risk assessment frameworks within DeFi platforms. Crypto culture, characterized by its emphasis on decentralization and community-driven innovation, faces a pivotal moment. The DeepSeek incident highlights the challenges of maintaining decentralized ideals while integrating advanced technologies like AI. Striking a balance between innovation and stability is crucial to sustaining the trust and engagement of the crypto community. The recent market fluctuations serve as a reminder of the interconnectedness of global financial systems and the cascading effects that innovations in one sector can have on others. For stakeholders in the DeFi and crypto spaces, this is an opportune moment to reassess strategies, prioritize transparency, and reinforce the foundational principles that drive the movement. As the landscape continues to evolve, the resilience of crypto culture and the adaptability of DeFi platforms will be tested. Embracing a thoughtful approach to integrating AI, while remaining vigilant of market dynamics, will be essential in navigating the complexities of this new financial frontier.
