This is because it is moving from coins to Ethereum. Ethereum will introduce Ethereum Feature Proposal-1559 (EIP-1559), which improves fees through a hard fork update in July this year.When EIP-1559 is installed, Ethereum used as fees is burned.

As Tesla revealed that it has sold some bitcoin, more attention is paid to the price direction of bitcoin, but cryptocurrency market analysts maintained affirmation, saying that the price recovery trend has not yet broken. In addition, the voice that Bitcoin’s outlook depends on whether it easily breaks through the $55,000 range in the future is empowering.

In addition, on-chain data analysts predicted that the cryptocurrency exchange’s BTC holdings are still on the decline, and the supply will not support demand, so the price will rise.As miners are hesitant to sell, the probability of mass selling will also be low. have.

(Positive opinion)

① David Grider, an analyst at Cryptocurrency Analysis Company FundStrat, said, “Bitcoin volatility may continue in the short term, but there will be no collapse of 80% compared to the peak like the 2017 bull market.” Presented at $100,000.

② Cryptocurrency analyst Raoul Pal said, “It is an opportunity, not a threat, that there is an adjustment in the bull market.”

③Cryptocurrency analyst Plan B said, “Although it has plunged by 25% in one week, the bull market march in bitcoin could lead to a new normal.” “After the current bull market, the bitcoin price peaked at $288,000 per coin. I will be able to take a picture,” he predicted.

④ Cryptocurrency analyst Rakeshi Upedjehi said, “Bitcoin fell to $46,985 on the 25th, but it hit the bottom and quickly escaped the decline. This is the result of the recent continued inflow of low-priced purchases.” . He added that the recent decline in bitcoin was a golden opportunity for investors to buy bitcoin cheaply. It also analyzes that Bitcoin is currently facing resistance around $55,000. He predicted, “If the bitcoin price breaks the 50-day moving average of $56,903, it will easily break through $61,825.” On the other hand, he predicted that “if the support line fails to rise around $55,385 and the support line breaks, it could fall further to $46,985 and $43,006.”

⑤ Katy Stockton, technical analyst at Fairlead Strategy, a cryptocurrency analysis company, predicted that this recovery could continue momentum. “This uptrend will continue this week,” he said. However, the recent loss of mid-term momentum suggests that the bitcoin resistance line will form below $62,000.” Conversely, Bitcoin is perceived cheaply at $40,000. In the long-term uptrend, the measure of the downtrend is around the $42,000 level.”

⑥ Jason Lau, Chief Operating Officer of Cryptocurrency Exchange OKCoin, predicted continued market recovery and further uptrend. “With leverage and derivatives activity still at all-time highs, the size of Bitcoin futures pending commitments fell by more than 30% from its peak. The recovery in this situation could lead to another momentum.”

⑦ Cryptocurrency specialty media Coinist quoted analyst Luke Martin, “It doesn’t matter if Tesla sells about 10% of its bitcoin holdings,” he said. “There are new types of buyers such as corporate whales that hold bitcoins for a long time. The fact is still optimistic.” Luke Martin explained that even after Tesla sold Bitcoin, it didn’t fall as much as expected, which is a positive sign.

(Negative opinion)

① Cryptocurrency media, NewsBt, analyzed, “Bitcoin has shown a recovery trend over the past 24 hours, but it seems to react negatively as Tesla’s report is released.” At the time Tesla announced that it had bought Bitcoin, the price of bitcoin rose from $38,000 to $53,000, and this sale could have the opposite result. “Tesla can freely exert pressure to sell bitcoins in the market, but it should not deviate from the company’s financial management plans,” said Newsbitt.

② CoinDesk, a media specializing in cryptocurrency, reported that “it has risen above 53,000 dollars after a rebound rally, but technically, doubts about the continuation of bitcoin’s rebound are being raised.” The moving average convergence and divergence index (MACD) of the Bitcoin weekly chart has retreated to the negative area, signaling that the market atmosphere has turned weak. MACD is an index that measures the change of trend and the intensity of the trend. CoinDesk pointed out that on the past weekly charts, the MACD has weakened 10 times, seven of which have led to further declines in prices, which is why the MACD’s weakness is raising concerns among bitcoin bulls.

③ Michael Gode, CEO of Global Digital Assets, a trading company, said, “The reporting of various media greatly influences the price behavior of the cryptocurrency market.” “There are more and more regulations on digital assets around the world. As a result, investors will take a more conservative approach than before and try to diversify the risk by selling some assets.”

◆Comprehensive Analysis of Bitcoin Market Price <Strengthening>

Bitcoin daily market price (see Figure 5-1), which recovered the moving average line on the 5th due to the strong rebound of the market the day before, broke through the sales process on the morning of the day, broke through the high price on the previous day, and began to rise further. Technically, the top of the cloud belt and the 60-day moving average line are acting as resistance, but a smooth upward trend is expected from the 20-day moving average line to the $58,000 level.

In addition, there may be resistance in the $58,000 section, but it is expected to form a strong upward trend that fills the gap in the $60,000 section formed by the fall of the US CME Bitcoin futures. We recommend that you anticipate and respond to the uptrend until it reaches point 2 in Figure 5-1 (approximately $61,000).

Today, as it is the expiration date of the daily options of Bitcoin and Ethereum on the DRBT exchange, intraday fluctuations according to the option position are expected.As a result of the simulation at 14:00, the expected settlement price for the two stocks is around $53,000 and $2,400, respectively. Was predicted. The price movement of the two stocks on the day was also modest. The predicted price is down, but on the contrary, the bitcoin option has a strike price of 53,000 or less, all call options are strong up to $49,000, and the Ethereum strike price, such as $2,520, is strong and the $2,540 put option is falling. There is a growing likelihood that the power will dominate. (Refer to the’Analysis of the Share of Bitcoin Option Open Agreements on the Day’ on page 15)

◇Comparison of return by asset compared to the beginning of the year (%) (As of April 27, 14:00) <Weakness>

Bitcoin prices have rebounded over the past two days, with the falling dollar and gold prices showing preference for risky assets, but the previous decline seems to be a long way to go. As of 14:00 on the 27th, the US CME Bitcoin futures return to the beginning of the year was 71.38%, down 4.88% from the previous Tuesday. During the same period, the gold futures and dollar index fell 0.66% and 0.30%, while the S&P 500 and oil futures rose 0.38% and 1.84%.

The previous day, international oil prices fell as demand for crude oil is expected to decrease due to concerns about the spread of Corona 19 from India. On the 26th (Eastern Time), the price of Western Texas crude oil (WTI) for June on the New York Commercial Exchange closed at $61.91 per barrel, down 23 cents (0.4%) from the battlefield. Oil prices fell by more than 2% during the day on concerns that the global demand for crude oil could decrease due to the surge in confirmed cases of Corona 19 in India. It is also predicted that if global oil demand decreases due to the Corona 19 crisis in India on that day, major oil producing countries may postpone their plans to gradually increase production. Due to the spread of Corona 19 in India, OPEC+ oil producing countries meeting on the 28th of this week are expected to pay attention to the uncertainty surrounding the demand outlook. A detailed breakdown of the rate of rise and return of the comparative asset class since last Thursday is as follows.

◇Comparison of yield by cryptocurrency compared to the beginning of the year (%) (as of April 27, 14:00) <Strengthening>

As the price of bitcoin rebounded, the price of most cryptocurrencies, including Ethereum, rose. Among them, the strength of Ethereum (ETH), the second-largest market cap, is attracting particular attention. It is noteworthy whether it will be able to break through the new record once again in anticipation of the London hard fork scheduled for July. The current Ethereum market cap is about $292.5 billion, and the dominance (share of market cap) is 14.6%. In addition, the number of Ethereum whale addresses with more than 10,000 ETH (ETH) increased by 1,311 last week, recording the largest increase in history.

As of 14 o’clock on the 27th, DOGE ranked first with 4,613.38%, 2nd with Binance Coin (BNB) with 1,312.11%, and 3rd with Uniswap with 699.36%, Cardano. ADA) ranked 4th with 614.20% and Ripple (XRP) 5th with 508.80%.

◇On-chain indicator analysis

① Analysis of the trend of trading volume on the day <Neutral>

Analyzing the day’s trading volume of BTC/USD and ETH/USD on-chain data makes it easy to check the direction of the bitcoin market and respond to it. Indices 1 and 3 in Figure 10 represent the spot trading volumes of 10 major exchanges (Binance, Bitfinex, PoloniX, Bitex, Coinbase, Bitstamp, Kraken, HitbittyC, Gemini), 2 and 4. The indicator calculates the total number of purchases and the total amount of sales in real time, and indicates the direction of the market trend by displaying the price volatility according to the rise and fall.

If you look at indicators 1 and 2 (BTC, ETH spot trading volume) in Figure 10, it can be seen that the price trend of the two stocks will not be easily reversed as the price trend of the two stocks is largely maintained, but if you look at indicators 3 and 4, the total quantity sold is the total. As the price volatility index of Ethereum, which was higher than the number of purchases, was lowering, the market is expected to weaken or rise on the same day, and then sell off at the peak.

② Bitcoin price and Korea premium index trend analysis <strong>

As the prices of Bitcoin and Ethereum rose, the kimchi premium index of the two stocks also stabilized. Although it is still above ‘0’, we believe that the conditions for maintaining the rising trend of cryptocurrencies including bitcoin are sufficiently maintained.

③ Analysis of the balance of Bitcoin holdings of all exchanges <Strengthening>

Figure 12 shows the trend of the bitcoin balance held by all exchanges, and the smaller the balance, the more stable the bitcoin price. The exchange’s bitcoin balance increased during the declining period from the 22nd to the 24th, and this quantity is expected to act as a short-term sale after the first rise of bitcoin. If so, we believe it is an opportunity to buy more.

◇Analysis of the share of non-settled bitcoin options on the day <weak>

As a result of analyzing the proportion of outstanding contracts aggregated from all bitcoin options issued by major cryptocurrency exchanges (Deribit, OKEx, Bit.com) (see Figure 13-1), the number of contracts rose from 31.70% at 10 o’clock. The position portion decreased slightly to 25.62% at 14 o’clock, and in terms of premium, from 10 o’clock (call option) 1.78%: (put option) 15.52% to (call option) -13.64%: (put option)-6.68% It appears that they are using a strategy to sell both options premiums. Therefore, it is analyzed that the option market participants are predicting that the market will gradually decline on the same day while using a selling strategy that expected a decrease in the higher premium.

<Strengthening> On the other hand, as a result of analyzing the percentage of outstanding contracts aggregated from Bitcoin options that expire on the day issued by the DRBT exchange in the same way (see Figure 13-2), 9.47% based on the number of contracts at 10 o’clock. The percentage of the rising position that was at 14 o’clock maintained a similar level at 10.31%, and in terms of premium, from 10 o’clock (call option)-2.54%: (put option)-4.00% to (call option)-3.46%: (put option) ) The premium is expected to remain low at 2.77%, and the market is expected to show an overall uptrend ahead of the maturity settlement (17:00).
