[Key interpretation] BTC short sellers return to life, and LINK is brewing a rebound

HuobiPublicado a 2022-11-08Actualizado a 2022-11-10

Resumen

The strength of BTC short sellers rose sharply, and a sharp decline was brewing.

1. BTC broke down

The short-term 30 minute K line chart shows that BTC's decline speed is very fast, and the continuous volume is longer than 3 hours, making the price easily retreat to below 20000 dollars. In fact, this BTC short-term pullback is more obvious than the price pullback on November 3, indicating that the short-term long short balance is being rapidly broken. This shows that BTC may break the long short balance within two months in the short term and confirm the direction of breakthrough.

2. BTC multiple air ratio decreases significantly

The long short ratio of BTC dropped significantly to 0.882 on November 8, which is the recent low and the lowest value after November 3, 2021. The strength of long and short positions changes rapidly and is linked with the breaking down of BTC price, indicating that the short-term downward trend of price is more significant.

On the news side, due to the impact of the cash withdrawal run on November 7 of FTT, FTT once collapsed on November 8, and FTX may still face challenges in the future. At the same time, BTC was affected by bad news, the contract long short ratio decreased and the currency price withdrew significantly, which reflected a significant change in the short-term trading tendency of investors.

3. Increase of ETH long position explosion

From the perspective of the size of the long position explosion, the number of ETH long positions has reached a short-term peak of 35400 ETHs on November 8 in the process of continuous reduction in the number of ETH long positions. This shows that after the market suddenly accelerated and fell back, the long positions reached more than $53 million, indicating that the ETH price weakened at a faster pace. In the next trading day, we also need to pay attention to the risk of price correction and the supporting effect above $1200.

4. LINK main transaction growth

LINK's recent price performance has been relatively strong, and it did not continue to retreat significantly during the sideways trading period. The daily K line chart shows that the LINK price has reached the peak level since May. Although the price did not break through upward, the price performance was significantly stronger than that of most mainstream currencies. Judging from this, we can focus on the recent price performance.

5. The main transactions of LINK account for a large proportion

The number of transactions of LINK on the exchange grew steadily, making the proportion of the total token supply continue to rise. In terms of value, from March 2021, the proportion of LINK transactions rose from a low level of 0.07 to 0.1 in November 2022. At the same time, the peak transaction proportion in 2022 reached 0.11. In this sense, the turnover of LINK is quite sufficient, especially in the past six months, when the proportion of transactions has been high, the turnover rate of LINK has increased, and the low cost may support the stable recovery of LINK prices.

Farewell to Speculation: The Graham Moment of the Crypto Industry

"Farewell to Speculation: The Graham Moment for the Crypto Industry" The article draws a parallel between today's cryptocurrency market and the speculative, unregulated US stock market of the 1920s. That era lacked mandatory corporate disclosure, enabling rampant manipulation and turning stocks into gambling tools. The 1929 crash led to foundational reforms: the Securities Acts of 1933/34 mandated transparent, audited financial reporting, and Benjamin Graham's "Security Analysis" provided a framework for fundamental valuation. Together, they created modern investing, requiring both reliable data and a methodology to value assets. Similarly, the crypto market is currently driven by narratives and speculation. However, it possesses a key advantage: unlike 1920s corporations, blockchain protocols have inherently transparent, on-chain data for revenue, treasury, and activity. The core obstacle is not transparency, but the lack of legal claim to that value. Due to regulatory uncertainty (primarily the Howey Test), most tokens are deliberately stripped of economic rights like profit-sharing to avoid being classified as securities. This creates a paradox where protocols generate revenue, but token holders have no right to it. The turning point, argues the author, is imminent US legislation. The already-passed GENIUS Act provides a framework for stablecoins. The crucial CLARITY Act, currently in advanced legislative stages, aims to clearly categorize digital assets and define their regulatory treatment (SEC vs. CFTC). This would allow developers to legally design tokens with enforceable economic rights, such as profit distribution. If passed, this would enable a shift from speculation to fundamental investment. Analysis would focus on protocol revenue sustainability, network effects, valuation multiples, and the specific rights encoded in a token's contract—mirroring traditional equity analysis. The article notes significant legislative hurdles and timelines (1-3 years for rulemaking post-passage), but emphasizes the direction is set. A deeper challenge remains: building decentralized, legally enforceable governance and ownership structures to protect token holder rights, akin to corporate law. This will be a core development focus. The transformation applies mainly to revenue-generating protocol tokens, not to assets like Bitcoin (digital gold). The article concludes that the industry's question has evolved from "can tokens create value?" to "who gets to allocate that value?". Solving the latter, as in the 1920s, will mark crypto's transition to a legitimate asset class for fundamental investment.

Quantum Computing "Manhattan Project" Unveiled: Is the Encryption Industry at a Critical Turning Point?

"Quantum Computing 'Manhattan Project' Launched: Is the Crypto Industry at a Critical Juncture?" On June 22, former U.S. President Donald Trump signed two executive orders. The first mandates all federal agencies upgrade their cryptographic systems to new, quantum-resistant standards by 2030. The second orders the Department of Energy to lead the development of a national quantum computer, signaling a shift from laboratory research to a state-enforced national agenda. This creates a hard deadline. A powerful quantum computer could break current encryption. The threat is compounded by "harvest now, decrypt later" attacks, where encrypted data is stored today for future decryption. Federal agencies must appoint migration officers and complete post-quantum cryptography (PQC) upgrades for key establishment by 2030 and digital signatures by 2031. Procurement rules will also be changed, forcing government contractors to comply. The crypto industry faces a direct threat. Bitcoin's ECDSA signatures are theoretically vulnerable. Research indicates millions of Bitcoin with exposed public keys are at risk if quantum computers advance. While projects like Bitcoin Quantum testnets and efforts by Ethereum, Solana, NEAR, and Zcash are exploring quantum-resistant solutions, achieving consensus in decentralized networks remains a major challenge. The centralized U.S. government has started a 5-year countdown. For decentralized crypto networks, the real test is whether they can complete this anti-quantum upgrade before the theoretical threat becomes a practical reality.

Key highlights include: **General Market Trends:** Global equities, particularly in the US, Japan, and South Korea, faced significant sell-offs, led by large tech and AI-related stocks. Analysts cite profit-taking and a shift from hype-driven to performance-driven valuation for AI companies. Market focus is on upcoming Micron Technology's earnings. **Cryptocurrency Treasury Updates:** * **Bitcoin (BTC):** Net weekly BTC purchases by listed companies (excluding miners) totaled approximately $86 million, down 13.97% from the prior week.
