Overview

Data collection time: August 20, 2024, 4:00 AM (UTC)

1. Market Environment

Over the last 24 hours, the price of BTC has fluctuated upwards, with a significant rebound of 1000 USD within one hour, leading to short-term liquidation of short futures positions. The mood in the crypto market shows signs of recovery; according to data from Alternative.me, the fear index has improved to 30. Although still in a state of fear, the mood has eased compared to the previous two weeks. The market may maintain a rebound for several trading days.
On the macroeconomic front, the Jackson Hole Economic Symposium is scheduled this week, with a rate cut in September widely anticipated. However, a risk-averse pullback remains a possibility. The U.S. Dollar Index has fallen below the 102 mark, and the 10-year Treasury yield is fluctuating around 3.88%. This critical window for rate cut trades has led to a rebound in the Nasdaq monthly trend, supporting an overall pullback in risk markets. The macro environment is favorable for sustained increases in crypto assets, presenting an excellent opportunity for regular investments in spot assets.

2. Wealth Creation Sectors

2.1 Sector Movements – AI Sector (NMR, FET, and TAO)

Primary reasons:
  • Numerai is currently hosting the Crypto Factor Modeling data competition, continuing to deepen its engagement in the AI sector; FET recently completed a successful merger and was featured yesterday by the media outlet New to The Street.
  • AI projects are a core focus for users in Europe and English-speaking regions, recently trending on Google with related crypto terms such as AI and FET.
Gainers: NMR, FET, and TAO have risen by 28%, 11%, and 6.5% respectively in the last 24 hours.
Factors affecting future market conditions:
  • Nvidia's future trend: Nvidia is a bellwether for the AI sector and influences the overall market valuation of the sector. If Nvidia continues to rebound in the U.S. stock market tomorrow, the AI segment of the crypto market is likely to sustain its rebound.
  • Impact of news: Pay attention to recent product updates and partnerships announced by projects. If an AMA is scheduled, consider positioning in related assets early, as there is a high likelihood that positive news will be released soon given the improved liquidity conditions.

2.2 Sectors to Focus on Next – SOL Memecoins (WIF, BONK, and POPCAT)

Primary reasons:
  • The price of SOL has stabilized, firmly holding above the $140 mark and potentially breaking through the $150 level soon. Recent record highs in trading volume on Solana's DEXs indicate active capital, which has spurred the rise of ecosystem projects.
Specific tokens:
  • WIF: A memecoin within the Solana ecosystem, previously listed on Robinhood. Typically, when SOL rises, leading Solana memecoins tend to rise even faster.
  • BONK and POPCAT: Core memecoins on Solana, which have seen a recent increase in trading volume. The high demand for transactions suggests that these tokens have potential for strategic positioning.
