[Key interpretation] BTC pretends to rise or be verified, and deviates from eth price first

HuobiPublished on 2022-09-13Last updated on 2022-09-14

Abstract

Although the BTC price has a strong performance, it is suspected that it will induce more people to rise. Recently, we have paid attention to the negative impact of the expectation of the Federal Reserve's interest rate increase.

1. BTC releases the strongest trading volume

After the BTC price recovered and rebounded from the adjustment, the price easily reached above the middle rail of the brin line, rebounding from $18799 to around $22400, with a range increase of 19.2%. From the performance of trading volume, the effect of this 7 trading days is obviously better than the performance of the past 2 months, and it is also the largest average trading volume performance in the past year. Therefore, the week before the Federal Reserve raised interest rates on September 22, BTC is showing stronger rebound expectations. The recent BTC growth space depends more on the position that the trading volume can reach. The overall market will rebound in large quantities to reduce the selling pressure, and the impact of short-term selling pressure changes on the market is very important.

2. BTC medium and short-term investors' profit flight

The profit flight of BTC's medium - and short-term investors shows that investors are facing the opportunity of reducing their positions. The SOPR index has been running above 0 since September 9, which indicates that investors have made profits as a whole. During BTC trading, the nature of trading is profit flight. In the next trading day, with the increase of BTC rebound space, expected profit trading will still dominate the overall market. Therefore, when judging the market trend, the higher the SOPR index can reach, the greater the short-term selling pressure it will prompt. Referring to the SOPR index that can be reached in the past year, when the index is in the range of 1.05 to 1.1, it can effectively test the effectiveness of selling points.

3. The unrecognized loss of BTC decreased significantly

With the emergence of the rebound trend, the unconfirmed loss scale of BTC has dropped significantly, from the recent high of 0.507 on September 6 to around 0.353, and the loss scale has decreased by 15.4 percentage points. This shows that after the rebound trend of BTC in the past week, a considerable number of loss making orders have disappeared, which means that the selling pressure is also dropping rapidly.

In terms of absolute value, the proportion of unconfirmed losses on September 12 still reached 35.5%, which is still at a high level compared with the past two years. Therefore, BTC is still in the interpretation of digesting selling pressure, and we can pay further attention to the pressure level in the rebound.

4. Eth price rebounded slightly

With the volatile trend of eth, the recent overall increase has not exceeded expectations. It can be seen that the ETH price trend shows a certain deviation from BTC, which indicates that the strength of the overall market may not last too long. In terms of trading volume, the daily K-line trading volume of eth is still shrinking, so the increase is not ideal. However, considering the large growth space of eth in the previous period, the advantage in terms of cumulative growth is still significant.

5. Eth transfer volume rebounded slightly

During the recent eth rebound, the number of transferred eth rebounded slightly, but it did not exceed the previous peak. From the rebound strength, it reached 3.773 million on September 6, lower than 4.857 million eth on July 21, and lower than 8.156 million and 7.569 million eth on May 12 and June 13. Therefore, the ETH price is still in a stable operation stage. The trading enthusiasm of investors has not changed, and the expectation of increase has not been strengthened.

The Reality of Payments in Latin America Is Not What You Think

The payment landscape in Latin America is undergoing a fundamental shift, driven by on-the-ground realities that challenge common perceptions. Based on over 500 hours of field research across the region, key insights emerge. Firstly, QR code payments, like Brazil's Pix, are becoming the dominant payment method in most emerging markets, overtaking cards. However, these domestic instant payment systems lack international interoperability, creating a significant gap for cross-border users. Secondly, the narrative around crypto cards is often misunderstood; their primary volume comes from high-net-worth professionals using them for salary conversions (e.g., USDT to local currency via Pix), not retail micro-payments. Competition in payments is shifting from customer acquisition to controlling the settlement layer, leading fintechs to acquire banking licenses for efficiency. Thirdly, treating "Latin America" as a single market is a mistake. Countries like Argentina, Brazil, and Mexico have distinct economic realities, user segments, and regulatory approaches. Brazil alone has at least five distinct user segments with different financial flows. Overlooked markets like Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador (the "forgotten five") offer high remittance volumes with lower competitive density. Finally, regulation in Latin America is often ahead of the US, with clearer frameworks for digital assets and a pragmatic approach from regulators focused on safety rather than obstruction. The margin on stablecoin forex is rapidly compressing toward zero, meaning future winners will be those building value-added services on top of the infrastructure, not just the cheapest exchange.

Making Music in a Bear Market: The Survival Experiment of a Bitcoin Band

"Orange Pill Jam: A Bitcoin Band's Survival in the Bear Market" Orange Pill Jam is a musical group exploring themes of financial sovereignty and privacy, born from the Bitcoin community. Formed after singer Mermaid performed her song "Dollar Apocalypse" at a 2022 conference, the band creates music intended for both Bitcoin enthusiasts and general audiences. Their creative process involves Mermaid writing lyrics and melodies, which producer/multi-instrumentalist Michi then shapes with a precise, rhythm-focused approach, often demanding numerous retakes to achieve his unique standard of timing. Their songs, like "Cypherpunks' Manifesto" and "Fire of Freedom," tackle concepts of digital privacy, the pitfalls of "free" services, and personal sovereignty, influenced by experiences in places like El Salvador. Despite operating in a crypto bear market with a Copyleft model (offering music for free sharing/remixing and accepting optional Bitcoin donations), they face practical challenges. Their growth is slow on platforms like YouTube and Spotify, which aren't optimized for their niche content. The band also navigates the rise of AI-generated music. While acknowledging AI's efficiency for certain tasks, they believe human creativity occupies a unique space that algorithms cannot replicate—the ability to create new genres and capture intangible rhythmic feeling. For Orange Pill Jam, the core argument for both Bitcoin in a downturn and human artistry in the AI age lies in this irreplaceable, intentional, and imperfectly human creative process. Their project persists as an anti-algorithm experiment, valuing the unquantifiable impact of music over scalable metrics.

Latin America's Payments Landscape Is Not What You Think It Is

This report challenges common misconceptions about Latin America's payment landscape, based on over 500 hours of firsthand research. Key findings include: 1) Crypto card transaction volume primarily comes from high-net-worth individuals receiving USDT salaries, not retail spending. 2) QR code payments (e.g., Brazil's Pix, Argentina's Mercado Pago) are the dominant payment method across most emerging markets, not cards. 3) A major untapped opportunity lies in enabling cross-border interoperability between domestic instant payment systems. 4) Payment competition is shifting from customer acquisition to owning the settlement layer (e.g., acquiring banks). 5) Latin America is not a single market; Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, and smaller "forgotten five" countries (e.g., Guatemala, Honduras) have vastly different dynamics. 6) Stablecoin-to-fiat conversion margins are collapsing toward zero, pushing companies to build value-added services on top. 7) Future payment winners will be multi-country brands, not single-corridor specialists. 8) Marketing must target specific user segments (e.g., digital nomads, unbanked immigrants) with tailored messaging, not a generic "Brazilian" audience. 9) Contrary to perception, Latin American regulators are often ahead of the US in creating frameworks for digital assets and instant payments, with clear licensing deadlines. The core takeaway is that the region's payment rules are being rewritten, moving beyond cards and stablecoin arbitrage towards integrated, cross-border QR-based solutions.
