TOTAL trade ideas
MARKETS week ahead: April 14 – 20Last week in the news
Inflation fears are for one more time those to shape investors confidence. Posted US inflation data during the previous week, impacted negative sentiment on the market, and made US Treasury yields move to the higher grounds, while US equities were pushed to the downside. For one more week in a row geopolitical risks were pushing the price of gold to new ATH. Uncertainty over the forthcoming Bitcoin halving impacts higher volatility on the crypto market. However, regardless of current higher volatility, BTC futures maturing in December 2025 reached the level of $80K for the first time in history.
The pivotal point on financial markets was a release of the US inflation data for March. As posted, the inflation in March was 0.4% for the month, which brought it to the level of 3.5% on a yearly basis. The data was higher from the market forecast of 3.4%. In line with significantly increased non-farm payrolls posted two weeks ago, data scared markets that the inflation could further accelerate which would impact Fed's decision not to cut rates during this year, or, most probably, that there will be less than three cuts during the year. The FOMC meeting Minutes were released during the week, where it has been revealed that Fed officials were looking for more convincing data in order to trigger rate cuts. Economists and analysts are currently quite divided on this topic, considering that this question is not at all easy to answer. Larry Fink, CEO of largest investment fund BlackRock, commented on potential Fed`s move, noting a possibility that there will be two rate cuts this year, however, the estimate of 2% targeted inflation will be missed. He sees high probability that the Fed will cut rates, even as inflation remains elevated. Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase noted several challenges for the world and the US economy, noting geopolitical risks and “persistent inflation pressures” but still perceives many economic indicators as favorable.
While US markets are concerned over the potential for rate cuts, investors in European markets are heating up sentiment for the first rate cut by the ECB in June this year. The ECB held a policy meeting during the previous week, where rates were left unchanged, as widely expected. However, comments from ECB officials heated the market expectation that the first rate cut by the ECB might occur in June this year, in case that inflation continues its down-track.
The pressure on the chip industry continues. As news is reporting, Chinese officials issued a directive, where it is requested by Chinese telecom systems not to use any foreign chips within their products. All processors made by foreign companies should be replaced by the year 2027 in China. This news was first posted by the Wall Street Journal, which specifically mentioned companies AMD and Intel, which will be hit by such a decision by Chinese authorities. Share prices of these two companies significantly dropped after the news was published.
Crypto market cap
Bitcoin halving is coming during the end of the week ahead. However, this represents only one side of the current market nervousness. Investors are highly concerned regarding the potential for Fed's rate cut, as well as, ongoing geopolitical uncertainties. The combination of these factors impacted a significant drop in the value of the crypto coins, but also other financial markets were affected, like US equities and US Treasuries. It could be expected that the same combination of factors will continue to impact markets for some time in the short future period. However, what is optimistic about the crypto market is that BTC futures maturing in December 2025 for the first time in history reached the level of $80K. This is another significant milestone for BTC, as it shows current market sentiment that BTC can only grow in value in the future. Certainly, whether this will be the case is about to be seen. For the moment, total crypto market capitalization decreased by 5%, where $121B was wiped out from the market. This time a significant portion of altcoins lost in value, where major coins were participating with roughly 40% in this drop. Usually majors are the ones that are leading the market to one side, however, this time was different. Daily trading volumes were also significantly increased from the week before, reaching even $250B on a daily basis, from $131B traded a week before. Total crypto market capitalization increase from the end of the previous year, currently stands at $705B, which represents a 43% surge from the beginning of this year.
BTC and ETH had another volatile week, however, the majority of altcoins were the ones that lost the most during the week. Regardless of the fact that BTC for one more time tested levels above $70K, the coin is ending the week by more than 2% lower from the week before, where total weekly loss in value was $28,2B. ETH`s market cap dropped by $18B on a weekly basis, which is around 4.5%. The list of altcoins who lost in value above $ 1B is significant for the first time in many weeks. XRP, Bitcoin Cash and Cardano all lost above $ 4B in value. However, one of the most significant drops among altcoins was with Solana. This coin lost almost $ 15B in value during the week, dropping it by around 19%. Significant losers in a relative terms were Uniswap, with a drop of more than 35% on a weekly level, OMG Network was also down by 30%, Filecoin lost almost 30%, while Maker was down by 26% within a single week. Other altcoins also lost between 10% and 20% in value. The only coin that gained was Tether, however, through an increase of its coins in circulation by 0.5%.
Although it was a red week for the majority of altcoins, still, for the majority of circulating coins it was a green week. Filecoin, although significantly lost in value, still managed to add 0.9% new coins to the market. Polkadot added 0.3% more circulating coins, while Polygon`s total coins were higher by 0.2%. Majority of other altcoins added around 0.1% of new coins during the week.
Crypto futures market
The crypto futures market had bad news and also good news during the previous week. The volatility on the spot market continued for the third week in a row, and so were the crypto short term futures. In this sense BTC short term futures were traded down around 0.9%, while ETH`s ended the week 3% lower from the end of the week before. Still, regardless of the short drop in short term futures, the major development occurred with longer term ones, which for both BTC and ETH ended the week higher from the week before.
BTC long term futures ended the week by 2.8% higher from the week before, but the most important news is that for the first time in history, futures maturing in December 2025 reached the price above $80K. This is the most significant development, as it shows that investors still believe that BTC will rise in value during the course of time. Futures maturing in December this year ended the week at price $75.090, which is also a new weekly high for this maturity.
ETH long term futures also ended the week with a positive sentiment. They were traded around 5.8% higher from the week before. Futures maturing in December this year were last traded at price $3.720 and those maturing a year later closed the week at $3.877.
The Super CycleThere is still the possibility of a higher high this quarter with the most recent dump providing such an amazing inval level.
Goes to show that the liquidity holding this market up is few and far between (at least for now).
This rally will fail to hold until global liquidity conditions improve drastically.
The catalysts are all building and I don't really care/know what they all are.
Markets will do what they have always done.
The improbable.
After events play out we will get the fabled super cycle.
You have 1 job until then:
Survive.
Cycle HeatmapGm, the cycle heatmap says we are still early.
This idea is purely based on the 4 year boom and bust cycle theory.
We expect btc to bottom about 1 year before the halving and top at least 6 months but probably 9-18 months after the halving. So I adapt this theory to the total market cap and estimate a conservative 50% btc dominance to get an idea of the total crypto market cap targets of this new cycle.
We can also combine different cycle based models to create a heatmap.
- 140k BTC target as minimum conservative target
- 10x total target
- 1M BTC target
- trololol log regression aasasoft.org
- log log price chart price.bublina.eu.org
- stock to flow www.lookintobitcoin.com
- halving en.bitcoin.it
This allows us to track where we are in the big picture and identify mean reversion risks.

📈 TOTAL Breaks Support➖ Yesterday TOTAL closed above EMA50; support holds.
➖ Today, TOTAL broke below EMA50 on high volume; support breaks.
Chart signals
➖ EMA50 is a medium-term moving average, which for us means a time duration between 1-3 months.
➖ Breaking below EMA50 opens up the possibility for the TOTAL index to drop medium-term, i.e. 1-3 months.
➖ A positive signal is the fact that TOTAL is still trading above its 20-March low but this is likely only temporary. Related pairs and markets went on to produce lower lows and some are trading all the way down already; what one does, the rest tends to do the same.
➖ The RSI is already way below 50, almost reaching 40.
(Weak RSI confirmed.)
👉 I guess we will be looking at new bullish action within 4-6 months and new highs late 2024 or early to mid-2025.
What's your take?

MARKETS week ahead: April 8 – 13Last week in the news
Much higher than expected Non-farm Payrolls in March in the US was a major event for the week on financial markets. Equity markets were still holding strong, despite the first major drop since the beginning of this year, while US Treasures reacted with higher yields. Gold reacted to new geopolitical tensions, which pushed the price of oil to higher grounds. The USD had increased volatility, but still managed to hold around 1.08 to euro, while the crypto market continued with higher price fluctuations. Bitcoin shortly tested $ 65K during the week, however, ending it above $68K.
The major event for markets during the previous week was a release of the US jobs data. The number of 303K new jobs in March was far above the expected 200K. The unemployment rate was standing at 3.8% in March, which was in line with market expectation. The market reacted strongly to the jobs data. Although this is positive for the US economy, showing its resilience to monetary measures, it still represents a fear that the Fed might hold interest rates at current levels for a longer period of time than previously expected. Namely, the market perceives that the stronger economy might drive inflation to higher grounds, in which sense, the reaction of the Fed might be to hold interest rates at current levels for a longer period of time, putting in question potential rate cuts during the course of this year. Aside from it, the Federal Reserve Governor Michelle Bowman noted on Friday the possibility for rates to be lifted to the higher grounds, in case that inflation remains persistent. The 10Y US Treasury benchmark reacted by ending the week at the level of 4,4% from 4.2% where they were previously traded.
Aside from potential negative impact on inflation from the heated jobs market, aspects of oil prices are also considered by markets. New geopolitical tensions between Israel and Iran, put pressures on oil futures and the price of oil on the market. Brent crude reached the highest weekly price of $90,65 per barrel. The US Brent crude was up by 18% during the course of this year, while the US crude added around 21%.
The US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen is traveling to China in order to strengthen the relationships with this country which will be beneficial for both countries, as per her notes. She also noted that the main target of her visit is to discuss issues of “overcapacity and national security-related economic actions”.
The issuer of XRP token, a blockchain company Ripple announced that it will launch a US dollar stablecoin. Current estimate of the US stablecoin market is $150 billion. The company noted that the coin will be 100% backed by the US dollar, through cash, USD deposits and US government bonds, which the company will hold as a reserve for the back of their stablecoin. It is also noted that information on their reserves will be publicly available on a monthly basis. The market of the US stablecoin is currently split between USDT, whose issuer is Tether, and USDC issued by Circle. PayPal also launched its own stable coins, the PayPal USD, which is issued by Paxos.
Crypto market cap
Quite a volatile week is behind the crypto market. Since the middle of the week, Bitcoin has been driven to the downside, where the coin reached $65K. The market had a general reaction to the news that the US jobs market might be a game-changer when it comes to expected Fed rate cuts during the course of this year. Namely, at the latest FOMC meeting, Fed Chair Powell spoke about potential three rate cuts till the end of this year. However, as released data are showing that the jobs market is heating up, this might bring a surge on the demand side and as a consequence, increased inflation. Following the theory of market efficiency, markets had to make an adjustment to their forecast with expectations that the interest rates might stay higher for a much longer period of time. The reaction was visible on equity, US Treasury markets, as well as the crypto market. During the previous week total crypto market capitalization lost $97B in value, which was a drop of 4% on a weekly basis. Daily trading volumes remained elevated, moving around $131B on a daily basis, same as the week before. Total crypto market capitalization increase from the end of the previous year, currently stands at $ 826B, which represents a 50% surge from the beginning of this year.
Bitcoin and Ether were leading the market drop, however, the majority of other coins gave their contribution. On a weekly level, BTC lost around $ 40B in value, decreasing it by 2.9%. Ether followed general market sentiment, with a drop in value of more than $23B or 5.5%.
Another coin with significant drop in value was Solana, who lost almost $8.5B, which represents a decrease of almost 10% within a single week. Binance Coin decreased its market cap by $3.2B or 3.5%, while DOGE was down by $2.3B or almost 8% on a weekly basis. XRP should also be mentioned, as it followed the negative market reaction with a drop in value of $ 2B or almost 6%. Some of coins which lost significantly in relative terms were Miota and OMG Network, who both lost more than 13% in value. Uniswap and Algorand both lost more than 12% during the week, while Filecoin and Cardano were down by 10%. There were only a few coins who managed to end the week in a positive territory, where the absolute leader was Bitcoin Cash, with an increase in market cap of incredible 17%. Maker hold the grounds, with an weekly increase in value of 1.1%.
Coins in circulation continue with increased activity. Tether should be especially mentioned, as it continuously surging its circulating coins, adding 2.2% during the previous week. Miota added 0.6% of new coins to the market, same as Filecoin, while Algorand added 0.4% of new coins this week. XRP and Polkadot increased their coins on the market by 0.2% during the previous week, while the majority of other coins increased by less than 0.1%.
Crypto futures market
Previous week markets had a general reaction to stronger than expected US jobs data, where the crypto futures market reacted in a same manner. Both BTC and ETH futures were traded lower from the week before. BTC short term futures were traded around 5% lower, while longer term futures dropped by modest 0.5%, still trying to hold the previous week`s levels. At the same time ETH short term futures were traded down around 8% on a weekly basis, while longer term ones were down by around 5%.
Regardless of a drop in prices of short term futures, BTC longer term ones managed to hold relatively stable. Futures maturing in December this year were last traded at price of $73.220, while those maturing in December next year closed the week at price $77.865. This shows that the market still believes that BTC will hold higher levels in the future period. Still, not the same sentiment holds for ETH futures. This comes as the market priced longer term futures at lower levels from the week before. In this sense, futures maturing in December this year ended the week at price $3.519, while those maturing a year later were closed at $3.664. On a positive side is that the price of ETH manages to hold levels above the $3K for all maturities.

TOTAL - YikesA lot of people will not like this post, but it needs to be said. April 2024 is looking to be a bad month for cryptocurrencies. Of course with the right factors this can change but let me voice my concerns for the short term.
Looking at the candle stick chart on the left, we can see March's monthly candle could not close above our 2021 monthly top candle. This is also in alignment with the 0.786. Based on technicals, this should at least bring the total marketcap down to the 0.618 around 2.15 T.
Of course, still macro bullish as the monthly RSI is likely to test our upper yellow trendline at some point in the cycle.
The line chart also show something scary for the short term. We see a double top forming. In my opinion, we will not see the euphoria of a full blown crypto bull market until the TOTAL surpasses and close a monthly candle above $2.63 T.
We will re-examine this chart with April's candle close. If we are able to close this month's candle above that double top level then the bearish thesis will be negated, but as things stand right now be more cautious.
Going ALL IN when the Total Market Cap reaches those LevelsWe reached an All time high in BTC, the previous weeks.
We retested those levels above the 70k, and it seems that the bears
are not allowing the price to keep going higher. At least for the short term.
We haven't reached an ATH in the Total Cryto Market Cap yet.
A retracement between the 38.2%-50% fibbonaci is absolutely possible,
combined with the rumors about the next black swan event which is around the corner.
Geopolitically there is a dangerous escalation...
I believe that something will happen, which will crash the markets,
giving the perfect opportunity for those prepared, to accumulate cheap digital assets,
before the current Bull market continues to new ATHs.
1.8-2 trillion dollars of Total Market Capitalization, are my entry Levels,
where I will go ALL IN my favorite crypto projects.
What do you think?

MARKETS week ahead: April 1 – 7Last week in the news
Positive market sentiment continued ahead of the holiday season on western markets. The S&P 500 was closed at level of 5.254, which was the new highest level reached in the history of the index. Although USD gained in value, the price of Gold also headed to the higher grounds, ending the week at 2.233, a new ATH. The US Treasuries remained relatively stable during the week. Bitcoin reached for one more time levels above $70K, while the crypto market spent another week trading within a positive territory.
The core personal consumption expenditures price index, a Fed's favorite inflation gauge, rose 0.3% in February, bringing it to a total increase of 2.8% on a yearly basis. The news was released on a Good Friday, a holiday in Western countries, so the market will most probably continue after-the-holiday season pricing the positive inflation developments. Speaking at the Economic Club of New York gathering, Fed Governor Christopher Waller noted that there is no rush for cutting interest rates. He saw a rationale in keeping interest rates at current levels for longer to help inflation on its “sustainable trajectory toward 2%”.
CoinDesk is reporting that the market for tokenized U.S. Treasury debt is in its “booming” phase. Analysts from the crypto firm 21.co noted in a report that the total value of tokenized Treasury notes reached levels of above $1 billion. Tokenization has been done through several public blockchains like Ethereum, Polygon, Avalanche, Stellar and few others. These tokens can be traded on the blockchain. The increase in trading tokenized Treasuries has particularly boomed after BlackRock announced its tokenized fund BUIDL on Ethereum network. As reported, the BlackRock`s funds BUIDL had a strong inflow during the first week on the market, collecting $245 million in deposits, out of which Ondo Finance alone transferred $95 million.
The London Stock Exchange will allow listings of the exchange traded notes (ETNs) for bitcoin and ether coins. Trading of these assets will start on May 28th this year and will be available to institutional investors only. All listings on the LSE will be a subject of the approval of the Financial Conduct Authority. The FCA noted that requests from Recognized Investment Exchanges will not be turned down.
A CEO of the BlackRock, the largest US asset manager, Larry Fink, released his annual investor letter, where he noted a concern regarding “providing for retirement”. He is of the opinion that Social Security and other retirement assets need to be rethought from the perspective of their long-term inclusion into capital markets. He also commented on overspending by the US Government, which is creating increasing debt. His proposal for the solution of the issue is to create a public-private partnership in order to finance infrastructure projects.
Crypto market cap
It was another positive week on the crypto market. Although the majority of the market is positioning for the expected Fed rate cuts during the course of this year, the crypto community turned their discussion to the topic of forthcoming Bitcoin halving. There is a question of its impact on the price of Bitcoin, considering that rewards for bitcoin miners will be halved. On a positive side is that this halving will increase the supply of new bitcoins until the maximum of 21 million BTC`s is finally reached. Analysts are arguing that more supply of BTC will increase its transactions and its further adoption by people and institutions. With increasing demand and limited supply, the price of BTC could be expected to increase. However, this is only an opinion of several analysts, and whether this scenario will actually occur on the market is up to be seen during April. During the previous week total crypto market capitalization was increased by 6%, adding total $141B to the market. The market cap is holding well above $2.5 trillion. Daily trading volumes continue to be at higher levels, dropping a bit as of the end of the week, due to the Holiday on the Western markets, but still with high $131B on a daily basis. Total crypto market capitalization increase from the end of the previous year, currently stands at $923B, which represents a 56% surge from the beginning of this year.
Majority of coins gained during the previous week. Bitcoin was the one which led the market to the upside, with a total inflow of $87B, which increased its market cap by 6.8%. Ether also had a positive week, by adding $15.2B to its value, increasing it by 3.7%. Another coin with very good weekly performance was Solana, which added almost $ 10B to its value, surging by 12.7% within a week. Binance Coin continues to add to its value, increasing it by $6.8B or 8.1%. This week DOGE was in the spotlight of the market, with a surge in value of $3.5B or 14.3%. Bitcoin Cash performed well during the week, ending it with an increase in value of $2.45B or more than 26%. Within the higher gainers, it should be mentioned Litecoin, which added $1.13B to the market cap increasing it by 17.5%. Other weekly gainers with excellent performance in relative terms were Maker, who increased its value by almost 20%, Solana was up by 12.7%, Miota was up by 11%, while NEO surged by 9.6%. There were only a few losing coins, where Monero lost 4.37% of its value on a weekly basis.
As for coins in circulation, increased activity continues. Filecoin added 0.6% of new coins to the market, Polkadot`s coins in circulation were higher by 0.2%, while Stellar managed to add 0.3% to its circulating coins. Tether should be especially mentioned, as it managed to continuously add new coins to the market, where last week this number was 0.5% higher from the week before.
Crypto futures market
The crypto futures reflected the positive market sentiment from the spot market during the previous week. Both BTC and ETH futures were traded higher from the previous week, for all maturities. BTC short term futures ended the week around 11% higher from the end of the week before, while the long term ones were up by almost 5%. Futures maturing in December this year ended the week at $73.435, while those maturing in December next year were closed at price $78.255. The highest value reached for this maturity was $79.235, three weeks ago, with currently high probability that these levels can be reached again in a short future period.
ETH futures were traded around 7% higher from the week before, however, long term ones were up by relatively modest 1.1% on a weekly basis. Futures maturing in December this year ended the trading week at level $3.700, while those maturing a year later were last traded at price $3.856.
