Hello Defiers! This is the recap of our latest DeFi Alpha Call that took place on 10/3/2022 in Discord.

Ethereum hasn’t really gone anywhere since last week.

We seem to have run out of sellers and whoever’s left doesn’t really have an incentive to dump at these prices.

I think a break to the upside is more likely this week. We didn’t break the lows after the Fed hike, and the fourth quarter is traditionally the strongest for risk assets.

The market has been carried along by macro winds, without much actually happening in the crypto market itself. I think the odds favor bulls at this point, at least for the month of October. So let’s see how it goes.

👀 Eyes on: US payrolls on Friday and inflation numbers next week.

Crude Oil Prices: All of the gains from the Ukraine crisis have been given back. Oil is back to where it was in January and OPEC is talking about supply cuts. So technically speaking, crude is back in a bear market.

Wheat: Prices soared because Ukraine is Europe’s breadbasket but prices have dipped back to pre-war levels.

Most traders stick to a simple rule. When something is trading below its 200-day moving average, you should look to short on bounces and conversely, buy dips when it trades above the 200dma. Always try to trade in the direction of the trend. Don’t play the hero, unless it’s for short-term, tactical trades.

The dollar’s recent decline reflects the fact that it had been stretched too far. I hope to see it crack 111. If this happens, the cryptocurrency market should rally.

If you look at the big picture, there’s little progress.

If Friday’s low holds, then we’re likely going to see a good fourth quarter.

Friday’s S&P low wasn’t confirmed by the VIX (lower high/divergence).

A signal that sellers are running out of steam.

Somehow, an invisible hand is holding it up above its June lows.

 It’s almost at a 3 ETH floor. This happens when I sell.

. The floor is still holding near 100E. One of the best trades in NFTs and as far as art goes, I think it’s one of the best-looking pieces from the first generation of generative art.
