Grayscale released the September report, recognizing the impressive performance of Bitcoin amidst the global market fluctuations in September 2023. Despite the general sluggish market which witnessed heavy losses in most traditional assets, Bitcoin still achieved a growth of 4.1% in September. The remarkable performance of BTC in tough times, especially the resilience it shows when faced with the rising U.S. bond rate demonstrates its potential to become a “storage of value” and “ safe haven” for investors.

Today’s Token Price

BTC

View: Yesterday, BTC surged at first, but reversed to fall after hitting $28000 and then consolidated between $25,000-$28,500. There is no important trading opportunity in such a case. Investors should watch closely the US non-farm data to be released on this Friday night, which is expected to affect the short-term trend of the market.

ETH

View: After a 2.12% fall yesterday, ETH started to consolidate closer to the lower edge of the consolidation range, in contrast to the strong BTC, which still remains closer to the upper edge of the consolidation range. Faced with a sluggish market, the wise act is to sit tight and take no act at all. There is currently no clear signal in the short term, and we still forecast a prospect for a bullish market. There might be opportunities to open positions to buy assets after the release of non-agricultural data tonight, conditional upon the data causes the short-term fluctuations in the market, dragging the price to $1560-$1600.

SOL

View: Days ago, SOL daily candlesticks experienced a standard bullish pattern: it went through a strong bullish run after breaking up the downward trend line. The price is currently going through consolidations during a small range and presents no opportunity to sell at a high. There will be signals to buy assets when it falls to the support area of ​​$18-$20. The stop-loss should be exercised when it falls below this range, the positions should be closed to take profit when the price hits the previous high of $24.

Macro: Investors Still Play It Cautious; Non-agricultural Data Was Released Today

Investors will still act with due care before the release of key employment data on Friday. Current data reinforce the market consensus that the Federal Reserve will extend the duration of high interest rates.

The Federal Reserve has raised interest rates 11 times since March 2022, which is the most aggressive frequency in interest hikes since the 1980s. The interest policy did work, bringing the inflation down to somewhere around 4%, a level that is still twice higher than the Fed’s target.

As a result, the U.S. 30-year treasury bond yield hit a high of 5%, the hughest level since 2007. The prevailing view is that only if the adverse effects of high interest are shown in US labor market data will the Fed change its stand. But oddly, data available now seems not supportive of the prediction that the Federal Reserve’s high-interest rate policy will cause major economic recessions in the U.S.

Various recent data show that despite the recent slowdown in the labor market, employment growth is still far beyond the level required to keep pace with economic growth. The resilience exhibited in the U.S. economy will undoubtedly fuel the public’s anxiety about the market risk.

Take the data on initial jobless claims in the United States as an example. A report released a day before showed the number of private employees in the United States increased at a pace slower than expected. The week ended Sept. 30 saw the submission of a total of 207,000 initial jobless claims in the U.S., an increase of just 2,000 from the previous week. The number is basically consistent with economists’ estimated 210,000, according to the Dow Jones consensus estimate. But the data is to the disappointment of some investors who were hoping to see a more severely damaged labor market so that there will be grounds to push the Fed to stop the interest rate hike that has adversely affected the stock market. The yield on the 10-year treasury bond initially edged higher after the jobless claims were released, then fell slightly, last closing at 4.731%.

Judging from the current market conditions, the general financial market environment remains challenging. The market is striving to strike a balance between Fed’s tightening and the government’s bond yields policy, and a recovery that brings the U.S. economy to a soft landing remains a distant prospect.

Currently, the issue that is mostly concerned by the market is the non-farm payroll data to be released this Friday. If the data far exceeds expectations, it will push the dollar to go higher, which will put upward pressure on risk assets including cryptocurrencies. Investors have anchored their hopes on the monthly employment report to be published this Friday or any data to provide any clue for the future prospects of the environment.
