According to the futures interest rate market, a 0.25% rate hike by the U.S. Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) in May has already been factored in by nearly 90%, but “the market underestimated the possibility of further rate hikes after May.

Over the past few days, as the dollar index (DXY) rose, which formed a double bottom, gold and bitcoin, which had continued to rise, slowed down and remained weak. Bitcoin and the US dollar tend to be inversely correlated.

Behind the rise in the dollar index in the foreign exchange market, the “New York Federal Reserve Bank Manufacturing Index”, which indicates business sentiment, showed an increase since November last year, and the dollar was bought. It seems that there are reports that show that the sentiment index has improved for four months in a row.

On-chain data analysis

According to a new report from Glassnode, several on-chain Bitcoin indicators show similarities to early 2016 and early 2019, the year before the “cryptocurrency bubble.”

Bitcoin reached its halving in May 2020, and in December 2020, it hit a record high of 1 BTC = $20,000 for the first time in three years.

Glassnode points out that this quarter’s return of over +70% is the highest since October 2021, when 1 BTC = $ 60,000, a record high. “The strong market performance from 2023 onwards is in contrast to 2022, when bad news continued and the market crashed, suggesting that a new regime shift (trend-like structural change) is underway.” evaluated.

The correlation coefficient between gold and bitcoin, which is a representative of alternative assets, recorded high figures such as a positive correlation of 0.85 at one point in the 90-day correlation (red line).

In the 365-day correlation (blue line), it has been rising steadily since last summer. Even when credit instability shook Western countries due to the failure of Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) and other factors, and counterparty risk became a concern, it remained at a high level.

When I checked the “unrealized profit and loss (NUPL)”, which indicates the “unrealized profit ratio” in the market capitalization of Bitcoin, the current figure was 0.36.
