Market analysis - Shanzhai market rebounds strongly, bull market is emerging but there is a risk of short-term decline

Under the dual benefits of the US Federal Reserve's announcement of a 2 yard interest rate cut and Japan's announcement of no interest rate adjustment last September 20th, the doubts of the entire financial market have been settled. Funds have begun to withdraw from risky assets, whether it is the stock market or cryptocurrency, which have had good gains in the past week. US presidential candidate Ho Kam li has also publicly stated that she will support the cryptocurrency industry after taking office, so it is relatively certain that regardless of which candidate is elected in the end, there will be a certain amount of positive support for cryptocurrency.

The cryptocurrency market has seen the beginning of a bull market in the past week, especially in the altcoin market where the trend has been very strong. Many currencies have rebounded from their lows by more than 20%. Previous weekly reports mentioned that shallow investment targets AAVE and SUI have both seen significant increases, with SUI approaching a 50% increase. In addition to the altcoin market, the meme market has also seen several golden dogs with over a thousand fold increases, and the wealth creation effect is beginning to emerge, all of which are signs of a bull market.

On the other hand, mainstream currencies have performed relatively averagely in the past week, with BTC, ETH, and SOL all showing small gains. However, BNB may have broken through the $600 mark due to the release of CZ from prison on September 30th and the impact of new LaunchPool news, making it the most rapidly rising mainstream currency.

In terms of price trends, BTC is in the pressure zone of $63000 to $65000, which has been challenged twice within a week and is currently showing signs of being suppressed. It is indeed a relatively high point in the short term, and the opportunity cost of chasing the rise is relatively low now. Instead, it can wait until it is confirmed that it has broken through the $65000 range before adding positions. However, based on the reversal of ETH/BTC trading pairs and the recent trend of the altcoin market, it can be expected that BTC's next increase will not be stronger than that of altcoins. Moreover, the probability of BTC, a large market value currency, returning to $70000 or even rising in the short term is relatively low, and the earliest chance may be higher after the US presidential election. Therefore, after the recent pullback, it is recommended to add positions again. The good opportunity for Bitcoin is that the general trend has already formed, but the short-term market risks still revolve around concerns about the US economic recession, Therefore, investors need to pay attention to the performance of the US job market data this Friday.

Potential investment opportunities

Ethena

Firstly, Ethena (ENA), a decentralized stablecoin protocol that emphasizes Delta neutrality. The operation mechanism of Ethena's stablecoin USDe is mainly achieved by mortgaging Ethereum and conducting Delta hedging on it to stabilize the value of its stablecoin USDe. Simply put, Ethena reduces or eliminates the impact of asset price fluctuations on portfolio value by shorting collateral, while also earning additional income such as ETH staking and funding rates, providing sustainable deposit returns for USDe stablecoins.

The reason why Ethena is optimistic is mainly based on the following reasons:

Safely pass the stress test

During the recent decline, the overall market's funding rate once turned negative, but Ethena did not face the sustainability issues that the community had previously been concerned about as a result. According to DeFiLlama's data, although the median annual interest rate in the third quarter has decreased, the overall level remains at 4-10%.

At the same time, according to ETH calculations, Ethena's total locked asset value did not show a significant decrease and remained at a level close to 1 million ETH.

The market enters a cycle of interest rate cuts

As is well known, the Federal Reserve announced a 2-yard interest rate cut on the 18th, which means that interest rates, including government bonds, will also decline. In such an environment, large investors will seek other funding stops with higher interest rates. At present, the yield on 10-year US Treasury bonds is 3.74%, while Ethena still maintains a stable annualized yield of 6% (excluding ENA airdrop rewards), and as the Federal Reserve continues to cut interest rates, the gap between the two will further widen, giving Ethena more advantages.

Bull market pushes up funding rates

The source of Ethena's interest rates largely depends on the level of funding rates, and the market generally expects the cryptocurrency market to have a chance to win another wave after the end of September. If this situation really happens, the funding rate will inevitably increase accordingly, which will bring higher annualized returns to Ethena.

technical analysis

In the short term, the price has broken through EMA200 and continues to rise, showing upward momentum. And the trading volume has significantly increased in the previous month, indicating a strong willingness to switch hands and take orders below. However, due to the long-term downward trend of EMA200, this may indicate that the overall trend is still biased towards weakness. The optimal entry position can wait for the price to fall back to EMA200 before intervening, as it is still at a relatively low level in the current overall framework.

Pendle Finance

Another project focuses on DeFi protocol Pendle Finance for yield tokenization. Although Pendle Finance's total locked asset value has experienced a significant decline since July, dropping from $6 billion to $2.3 billion, there have been signs of a rebound recently.

As an interest rate derivative agreement, Pendle Finance has recently expanded its product line from Ethereum's liquidity re staking token (LRT) to the staking ecosystem of Bitcoin, such as Corn LBTC and EtherFi's eBTC. In the future, it will continue to launch other BTC products such as Bedrock uniBTC, Solv solvBTC, and PumpBTC, which will allow it to share market dividends while speculating on the future Bitcoin staking and DeFi tracks.

And like Ethena, such agreements that can bring passive benefits will receive market attention after the market enters the interest rate cut cycle.

technical analysis

Compared to the trend of ENA, Pendle's bullish pattern is more complete, forming a clear bottom in early September and a bullish trend that deviates from the bottom in early August. Moreover, EMA200 has already turned upwards, which is a clear characteristic of the trend change. In the short term, when the price enters a convergence pattern, it can first intervene in some spot prices, and continue to decline until the price falls below $4.

The Federal Reserve cuts interest rates by two yards, Powell emphasizes: the economy is not in recession!

The Federal Reserve made a bold decision in its interest rate decision early this morning, cutting interest rates by two yards in one go and lowering the target range to 4.75% to 5.0%, marking the first interest rate cut in over four years. Chairman Powell emphasized at the press conference after the meeting that the US economy is in good condition and there are currently no signs of recession. Cutting interest rates by two digits is a "recalibration" of the Federal Reserve's monetary policy, so there is no guarantee that the same level of interest rate cut will be made at the next meeting. Investors should not expect the Fed to continue to cut interest rates at this level.
