Özet

Key Bitcoin indicators tracking its market versus fair value, as well as long-term holders' confidence, hint at a market bottom formation.

Bitcoin and other riskier assets slipped on Friday as traders scrutinized macro indicators that suggest the Federal Reserve would continue to hike rates. Nonetheless, the BTC/USD pair remains rangebound inside the $18,000-$20,000 price range, showing a strong bias conflict in the market.

Notably, BTC's price has been unable to diver deeper below $18,000 since it first tested the support level in June 2022. As a result, some analysts believe that the cryptocurrency is bottoming out, given it has already corrected by over 70% from its record high of $69,000, established almost a year ago.

During the 2018 bear market, BTC saw a max drawdown from peak to trough of 84%, lasting 364 days, while the 2014 cycle lasted longer, bottoming after 407 days," noted Arcane Research in its weekly crypto market report, adding:

In addition, a flurry of widely-watched on-chain Bitcoin indicators also hints at a potential bullish reversal ahead. Let's look at some of the most historically significant metrics.

Bitcoin MVRV-Z Score
""

The MVRV-Z Score assesses Bitcoin's overbought and oversold statuses based on its market and fair value.
""

Historically, when Bitcoin's market value crosses the fair value, it indicates a market top (the red zone). Conversely, it indicates a market bottom (the green zone) when the market value crosses below the fair value.

The MVRV-Z Score has been in the green zone since late June, suggesting Bitcoin is bottoming out.
""

Reserve Risk
""

Bitcoin's Reserve Risk assesses the confidence of the token's long-term holders relative to its price at the point in time. Historically, a higher Reserve Risk (the red zone) has coincided with market tops, reflecting lower investment confidence at record-high Bitcoin prices.
""

Conversely, higher confidence and lower Bitcoin price mean lower Reserve Risk (the green zone), or better risk/reward for investing.

Bitcoin's Reserve Risk plunged into the green zone in late June, suggesting that BTC may undergo a strong bullish reversal sooner or later.
""

Bitcoin Puell Multiple
""

The Puell Multiple reflects the ratio of the daily Bitcoin issuance (in U.S. dollars) and the 365-day moving average of daily issuance value.

Historical data shows Bitcoin market bottoming out when the Puell Multiple drops into the green zone defined by the 0.3-0.5 range. Conversely, the market peaks out when the ratio crosses into the 4-8 red zone.

As of October, Bitcoin's Puell Multiple is inside the green zone, suggesting a potential price reversal ahead to the upside.

As Cointelegraph reported, the BTC balance on cryptocurrency exchanges has also fallen to multi-year lows at the fastest pace since June, suggesting that current price levels are becoming an important area of accumulation.

After R&D Investment Catches Up with the U.S., Is the Sino-U.S. Chip Competition Still Just About Money?

The article examines the significance of recent data showing China's total R&D expenditure, measured by purchasing power parity (PPP), catching up to or slightly surpassing that of the United States in 2024. It argues that while this milestone reflects China's immense capacity to mobilize research resources, the competition in semiconductors now extends far beyond sheer financial input. The analysis highlights key differences: China's R&D is heavily skewed towards experimental development (over 80%), focusing on product engineering and industrialization, whereas the U.S. allocates a proportionally larger share (about 15%) to basic research. Furthermore, leading U.S. semiconductor firms reinvest a significant portion of their substantial global sales revenue into R&D, creating a sustainable commercial innovation cycle that is difficult to replicate. The article emphasizes that semiconductor progress depends on converting R&D into commercially viable products that pass rigorous customer validation and achieve repeat orders, not just on spending levels. It concludes that as China enters the top tier of R&D spenders, the critical challenges shift to improving resource allocation efficiency, fostering long-term basic research, and building effective mechanisms to bridge the gap between laboratory discoveries and reliable, market-ready industrial capabilities.

Walsh: 2% Inflation Target Unwavering, Maintain Independence, Focus on AI Transformation (Full Text Attached)

Fed Chair Warsh emphasized an unwavering commitment to the 2% inflation target, stating there is "no soft target" and that the FOMC is united on this goal. He indicated that if high inflation persists, interest rate hikes would likely be part of the solution. The Fed voted 9-3 to maintain the benchmark rate at 3.5%-3.75%. Warsh announced a significant shift in policy communication, moving away from forward guidance. He noted that market rates have risen between meetings, reflecting a tightening of financial conditions as participants now react more to direct economic data rather than Fed signals. On AI, Warsh highlighted a nearly 20% annual growth rate in high-tech capital expenditures related to artificial intelligence. He acknowledged its potential to boost productivity and supply but also its role in driving up prices for certain sectors like chips and AI infrastructure. The Fed is assessing whether these price pressures will remain sector-specific or spread more broadly. Warsh stressed the Fed's independence, asserting it will not deviate from its mandate due to external pressures. He framed the current decision not as a "pause" but as a period of rigorous review of economic conditions, with future actions to be data-dependent.

Top 10% of American Households Capture 88% of Wealth, How Is the AI Era Cake Divided?

AI Worsens Wealth Inequality as Top 10% of US Families Garner 88% of Stock Gains (2019-2026) A report from the China Finance 40 Forum highlights that the AI boom is significantly widening wealth inequality in the United States. From 2019 to Q1 2026, wealth from directly held stocks by US households nearly doubled from $29 trillion to approximately $55 trillion, with rapid growth concentrated post-2023, coinciding with the AI-driven stock market surge. The distribution of these gains has been starkly uneven. Between 2022 and Q1 2026, the wealth increase of about $21 trillion was captured almost entirely by the wealthiest families: the top 10% secured roughly 88% ($18.5 trillion), while the bottom 50% received only about 1% ($0.2 trillion). This has contributed to a growing disparity in disposable income shares. The report, referencing economic historian Robert Allen, draws parallels to historical technological shifts like the "Engels' Pause" during the First Industrial Revolution, where worker wages stagnated despite productivity gains. It suggests AI could induce a similar period where capital收益 outpace labor income, exacerbating inequality. Huang Yiping of Peking University identifies four mechanisms through which AI impacts income distribution: capital-bias (reducing labor's income share), task polarization (hollowing out middle-skill jobs), skill-based digital divides, and wealth amplification through assets. He warns that if this trend continues, strong supply growth driven by AI could be undermined by persistently weak consumer demand, threatening sustainable economic growth. To address these challenges, the report proposes a three-pronged strategy: 1) Defensive measures like strengthening social safety nets and antitrust enforcement; 2) Empowering workers through education reform and lifelong learning to collaborate with AI; and 3) Rebalancing via policies such as potential taxes on AI超额收益 and mechanisms for broader sharing of technology's benefits, ensuring AI's红利 are more equitably distributed.

Finland to "cut" cables: Russian operators will have to look for new internet routes

Finland will cut the optical fiber communication cables attached to its power transmission line pylons along the border with Russia by 2027, according to its energy company Fingrid. This follows the 2022 halt of electricity imports from Russia, making the infrastructure economically unviable to maintain solely for telecom needs. Currently, about 60-70% of Russia's international internet traffic transits through Finland, with up to 30% of these lines running along the power lines in question. Russian telecom operators are negotiating with Finnish counterparts for alternative routes. Potential backups include lines through Belarus, Baltic states, and submarine cables in the Baltic Sea. While no major impact on user traffic is expected, potential effects include rerouting, reduced network redundancy, and increased latency, especially for users in northwestern and European Russia. An AI analysis notes that shifting to submarine cables introduces new risks, as they are vulnerable to anchor damage and lengthy repairs. This technical move occurs alongside broader trends toward digital autonomy in Russia, raising questions about the future reliability of external internet channels.
