Are Small Cap Crypto Assets Rebounding A Sign Risk Appetite Returning?

The crypto market just saw some slight recovery, but the performances are upside down. Opposite to the way sellouts usually play out, the Bitcoin dominance dropped dramatically as the asset is underperforming the Small Cap index. From last November’s $3 trillion market cap, the crypto market is now down to around $800 billion: Smaller Altcoins Make A Strong Comeback Last week the crypto market saw its bottom, followed now by some slight recovery. As per Arcane Research’s latest weekly report, the smaller altcoins have also been seeing red numbers with the Small Cap index shedding 27%, but it has been the best performer overall. In contrast, Bitcoin had dropped 35%. Through this small window of relief during June, we have seen the blue-chip coin underperform all other indexes. As a result, BTC’s dominance in the market fell -1,51% this week to 43,5% while Ether fell -0,31. The latter has been declining since May from 19.5% to 15%. What’s Making This Crypto Winter Colder The report notes that the primary driver of this crypto crash has been the hedge fund Three Arrow Capital (3AC) collapse. Having invested over $200 million in Luna Foundation Guard’s token sale, 3AC’s liquidity ended up being wiped out and its margin call was the last straw for the already pressured market.

Cardano Founder Provides Answers As per the Wall Street Journal, the crypto hedge fund hired legal and financial advisers to help work out a solution for its investors and lenders. The firm is looking for a way out, “including asset sales and a rescue by another firm”. The prognostic is not very positive at the moment, seeing the wave of liquidations and mitigations of losses by crypto exchanges that have followed the collapse. “We were not the first to get hit…This has been all part of the same contagion that has affected many other firms,” Kyle Davies, 3AC’s co-founder, said in an interview. Arcane Research explained that “In periods of insolvency, creditors unwind the most liquid assets first, which is likely the root cause of BTC and ETH’s relative underperformance in the last week.” The report adds that “illiquid altcoins are more challenging to sell at size, particularly during pressuring times, which explains why smaller coins have experienced less excessive selling pressure in the last week”. Meanwhile, Microstrategy CEO Michael Saylor described the events around this winter as a “parade of horribles” in which the consequences of lack of regulation in the crypto field have made it possible for wash trading and cross-collateralized altcoins to weigh down on Bitcoin. “What you have is a $400 billion cloud of opaque, unregistered securities trading without full and fair disclosure, and they are all cross-collateralized with Bitcoin.” “The general public shouldn’t be buying unregistered securities from wildcat bankers that may or may not be there next Thursday,” Saylor added, slamming at the recent collapses and suggesting that future actions by regulators could prevent the level of volatility that BTC is now experiencing.

Small Cap Altcoins Continue To March Ahead Of Bitcoin And Ether Gains

Small cap altcoins have been one of the best performers in recent times. Even through the downtrend, these low market cap cryptocurrencies have returned better gains compared to their bigger counterparts like Bitcoin and Ethereum. They have carried this performance into another week as small cap altcoins show their profitability once more by being ahead while the rest of the market suffers. Small Cap Altcoins Stays In The Lead The previous week, small cap altcoins had been the only index returning profits while all others have been drowning in losses. It has continued this week as it remains the only index in the green with other indexes languishing in its wake. These small cap altcoins usually boost a small yet tight-knit community of supporters which often explains the consistent gains. Related Reading | LUNA to Spike 80%? Here’s What Analysts Think The monthly performances of these indexes are stark when placed side-by-side. For example, the Small Cap Index has been on the rise for the month, reaching as high as 17% in positive returns this month. However, the other indexes which consist of cryptocurrencies with much larger market caps have not been able to record the same returns, all down in the same time period.

It was at this point that the Small Cap Index had begun to pick up momentum, becoming the only index in the green. How The Bigger Indexes Have Performed Looking at the Bitcoin, Mid, and Large Cap indexes, it is obvious that smaller altcoins have been the best investment in recent times. All of these have remained in the red even after a small recovery that was recorded recently in the market. These indexes have remained below the mark of profit for the better part of the year, making them a less attractive investment option compared to the small cap altcoins.

It recorded 5% losses alongside its counterpart, the Small Cap Index, which also saw returns in the negative at -%5.

Relative to Bitcoin, the ETHBTC is now back above 0.07. Featured image from Coinlib, chart from TradingView.com

Small Cap Altcoins In The Green In Pre-Spring Crypto Surge

Crypto is characterized by its highly volatile nature and even though the digital assets in this space have continued to live up to this reputation, investors remain undeterred. It is still one of the fastest-growing financial markets in the world with predictions of accelerated growth in the coming years. Recently, the space has slowed down significantly and as such, has seen declining values in the assets. Despite this, not all digital assets in the crypto space have suffered. Just like there are times where there is an exception to the rule, Small Cap altcoins have proven to be the exception this time around. While the rest of the market has been recording losses, these Small Cap coins are the only index that has remained in the green. Small Cap Coins Take The Cake Recently, as the market has tumbled, there has been an unlikely winner emerging from all the fracas. The Small Cap index is filled with altcoins whose market caps are still very small compared to their larger counterparts. Nevertheless, this has not stopped them from outperforming in times when no one has expected them. The last two weeks have been proof of this. Related Reading | Bitcoin Breaks Out Of $39K Idle Trend, But What Does $40K Hold? While the larger caps coins suffered major losses, small cap altcoins rallied. This was mostly due to the gains made by a single altcoin, WAVES, which has recorded 56% gains in the last two weeks alone. The gains from this digital asset propelled the rest of the Small Cap Index, putting them in profit while the rest of the market saw losses. The Bitcoin Index performed better than the rest of the larger cap digital assets though. Although returning losses, it saw 8% of losses in the same time frame, the lowest out of these Large Cap coins. Total market cap at $1.75 trillion | Source: Crypto Total Market Cap on TradingView.com The Large Cap Index had also followed the bitcoin downtrend patterns. This index saw 9% shaved off its value in the past two weeks, seeing the second-highest negative returns of all the indexes.

It saw 13% in losses in just the first two weeks of March alone. The Small Cap Index outperforming the larger cap indexes during times of downtrend is as unusual as it gets. Though it has happened it has been few enough that it is an incredible feat for the index to be in profit while the larger indexes fall in the loss.

Data Says Bitcoin Holds Up To Macro Turmoil Better Than Altcoins

Bitcoin has not had the best couple of things and altcoins have been subjected to the same fate too. The market has continued to succumb to pressure being mounted by various social issues, from the Canada protests to the brewing conflict between Ukraine and Russia. In all of this, however, bitcoin has mounted better resistance and this is apparent in the data. Bitcoin Holds Ahead Of Indexes Bitcoin has once again proven to be the best bet when the market is in turmoil. With the recent downtrend, all of the indexes have suffered, just like bitcoin, but the latter has held up better in the face of adversity. While some of the indexes have recorded double-digit losses, BTC remains the top performer with only a 4% loss, a small value given that the net best-performing index saw losses twice as large. Related Reading | Bearish Signal: Ethereum Exchange Balances Touch 3-Month High The Large Cap Index which is known for holding up to macro turmoil and usually seen as a safe haven for investors returned 8% in losses, double that of bitcoin. As for the Mid Cap Index, there was more bad news to be had with losses running into the double-digits. In total, this index which comprises some fast-rising projects in the crypto space saw 14% losses. BTC ahead of indexes in monthly performance | Source: Arcane Research The Small Cap Index is naturally the worst-performing candidate in times like these. These altcoins that are still carving a niche out for themselves always get hit the hardest, losing more than twice the value lose by lead digital assets. This time around, the index was on par with the Mid Cap Index, once again returning 14% in losses as of February 2022. Stablecoins Hold The Market As mentioned above, the Small Cap Index was among the worst hit in the market. The altcoins which make up these indexes are usually the smallest coins and thus, the riskiest plays given that in times of slight-to-safety periods, investors tend to move holdings to the bigger coins to reduce their risk in the market. This flight-to-safety has seen investors moving to assets like bitcoin and those in the Large Cap Index. However, the obvious winner of this market is the stablecoins which have continued to gain market share.

With this move, stablecoins are now dominating a larger market share as three assets are now in the top 10 cryptocurrencies by market cap, namely USDT, USDC, and BUSD. Together, these three digital assets now account for 9% of the total crypto market cap.

Crypto Market Bloodbath Creates Largest Stretch Of Fear Since April Peak

Crypto Market Bloodbath Creates Largest Stretch Of Fear Since April Peak

As the downtrend in the crypto market continues, so does extreme fear. What’s inspiring the sell-off? Is it Omicron? Or is it Evergrande? Is it a conspiracy? Or is it the holidays? All those questions and more have had the Fear and Greed Index pointing left for a month straight. What does this mean? Where do we go from here? That’s what we’re here to explore.  Related Reading | Blood In The Streets: Crypto Market Becomes Fearful As Bitcoin Dives But first, let’s talk about the Fear and Greed Index. One of the many Bitcoin indicators, it measures the market’s general sentiment at the moment. Zero is extreme Fear. A hundred is extreme Greed. And the indicator oscillates between those two at any given time. It’s been said that the crypto market is very emotional. The Fear and Greed Index is there to keep investors from making irrational decisions based on sentiment alone.  Fear And Greed Index shows Extreme Fear | Source: Arcane Research’s The Weekly Update What’s The Fear And Greed Index Saying Now? According to Arcane Research’s The Weekly Update, fear has settled in: “The Fear and Greed Index has now signaled “Fear” or “Extreme Fear” for almost one month straight. The last time we saw such a prolonged fearful market sentiment was at the beginning of the summer when the market sentiment was fearful for more than two months straight. With the sustained consolidation of bitcoin, the late autumn euphoria has dampened, and the overall sentiment seems very negative at the moment.” The report also says that, “during steady sell-offs, bitcoin tends to outperform the overall crypto market.” And this time was no exception, BTC “outperformed all indexes so far in December, seeing a negative return of -18% after a relatively flat second week of trading this month.” On the other hand, “the Small Cap index has seen a loss of nearly a third of its value in December.“ What does this mean in general? “The bitcoin dominance has risen by 1.13% in the last week. This is the third time we’re seeing bitcoin dominance bottom at 40% in 2021. The last two times were May 19th and Sep 13th. It seems that the 40% threshold is a difficult area for alts to sustain” BTC price chart for 12/15/2021 on Eightcap | Source: BTC/USD on TradingView.com What Can We Expect In The Future? To get our dose of technical and on-chain analysis, let’s give the mic to this month’s Fear & Greed Newsletter: “A major factor here is the cycle support band. We cannot ignore the fact that Bitcoin had just closed 2 consecutive weeks below the market support band. Historically, this meant that we’d see a longer consolidation phase before we could have a true reversal in the trend. The takeaway here is this, as long as Bitcoin closes the week below the cycle support band, we shouldn’t expect any major breakout in price to take place.” Every dog has its day, though. A week ago, analyzing a very similar market sentiment, NewsBTC informed you: “A “Fear and Greed” Index on Extreme Fear levels, according to certain analysts, has historically preceded crypto market local bottoms. However, a run into new highs could see an obstacle as the macro-economic outlook turn complex.” Related Reading | Bitcoin Price Bloodbath: Is El Salvador A “Sell The News” Event? It’s also important to remember that only two months ago, we were in a similar situation and the sentiment did a complete 180 in a matter of weeks.  “The indicator dipped all the way down to extreme fear on 30th September, but in under two weeks the sentiment has already rebounded back to extreme greed. The report notes that this shows how fast the sentiment can change among the crypto market.” With that being said, and a disclaimer that this isn’t financial advice, in a situation like this there’s only one thing we could say… hodl the line!  Featured Image: PublicDomainPictures on Pixabay| Charts by TradingView

Top 5 Tokens under $1 Billion Market Cap

Choosing the kind of digital asset to trade in the market is a choice that requires excellent expertise. This is because the selection of the asset is dependent on some essential factors. Besides factors like the market cap or technical analysis of the coin, traders need to consider their trading strategy. For instance, Bitcoin is very popular, and most traders prefer to hold it in their portfolios. But due to some reasons known to them, others might decide to go for lower cap tokens. This is because lower cap tokens always have more room to make a timely surge in the market and bring in massive profits. In this article, we will look into the top five altcoins under one billion in market capitalization.

Top 5 Tokens Under $1 Billion Market Cap

#5 Bancor (BNT)

Bancor is a blockchain-based protocol that allows traders to convert one digital asset to another directly without the need for centralized exchanges like Coinbase. The main aim of Bancor is to eliminate the use of a third party in transactions using its native token, Bancor Network Token.

The BNT is the native currency of the platform and what traders use to communicate with the smart contracts on the protocol. Investors get one of the sweetest deals as the company provides them with gains from transaction fees anytime an exchange is made. Since the protocol is built on Ethereum, users can convert one ERC-20 token to another.

The reserves of the protocol have ERC-20 tokens that are held through smart contracts, which are tied to different smart tokens on the platform. The conversion on Bancor is done inside the exchange and depends on the amount of token a user intends to exchange. Presently, the Bancor Network Token ranked #114 on CoinMarketCap with a selling price of $4.11 per coin. The token's market cap is at $975,005,021, with its trading volume in the last 24 hours at $33,308,084.

#4 Ox (ZRX)

Created in 2016, Ox is a decentralized exchange that allows traders to trade Ethereum based tokens. The exchange is one of the biggest in the decentralized finance sector, boasting a wide range of users. Ox works in a peer-to-peer model, which means most transactions are carried out using smart contracts and, in the process eliminating third-party financial services.

The smart contract of the platform works using a shared infrastructure. This means that the technology on the platform is divided into two: State Channels and Automated Market Markers. While the AMM allows third parties to oversee a transaction if the price reaches a certain amount, the State channel tackles transactions offline, eliminating high transaction fees.

ZRX is the native currency of the platform, which drives governance and performs other functions within the platform. Traders who hold the ZRX token will be involved in the governance of the platform. The token can also be used to pay Relayers for bookmarking services. The ZRX token is ranked #118 on CoinMarketCap, with the price per coin at $1.13. The coin boasts a market cap of around $949,161,632, and its 24-hour trading volume is about $56,276,220.

#3 Bora (BORA)

BORA is a platform that allows users to interact with different blockchains and token mechanisms. The platform says it wants to solve the problem in the crypto sector through the distribution of games and other digital content. The native token of the platform, the BORA coin, has some great uses on and off the platform. The BORA coin provides users with the ideal solution to unlock secure and open content distribution.

The token also unlocks and preserves the value of tokens that are built on the blockchain. The Bora platform was designed using a modular architecture that will provide unlimited access to users who can implement their independent blockchain. This is important because it allows each data provided by a service to work independently without interfering with other services. Meanwhile, users can enjoy all the content provided on the platform through one account.

Bora incorporates user identity on its platform, with the platform boasting massive scalability to handle the activities of service providers. Presently, Bora is not doing well in the market as it trades at $1.11, losing 4.83 of its value in the last 24 hours. The token is presently on #118, according to CoinMarketCap. Its 24 hour trading volume is $435,643,445, while boasting a market cap of $952,208,743.

#2 Celsius (CEL)

Celsius Network is a crypto solution platform that was developed by Alex Mahinsky and Daniel Leon in 2018. The platform is responsible for services such as lending and borrowing. Asides from that, Celsius has a payment service and a wallet hosting service that runs on its platform. Although Celsius runs in a decentralized way, it is managed through a centralized method instead of a community.

Celsius has a friendly and understandable platform where users can access services like borrowing more than 30 fiat and stablecoins. Traders can also earn interest by lending their tokens to the network. The majority of the services are infused in the wallet, available on Android and Apple devices. Its CelPay service allows users to make transactions in and out of the country without paying fees for transactions.

CEL, its native token, is based on Ethereum. With the CEL token, users can increase their rewards when they lend out tokens and reduce their Annual Percentage Rates when they borrow tokens. Although CEL is not doing well in the market, the token is selling at $3.99. It is ranked on #114 on CoinMarketCap with its market cap at $955,210,555. Its 24-hour trading volume is presently around $3,940,765.

#1 Donelon Mars (ELON)

The Dogelon Mars token is a token that was forked from the popular dog-inspired token, Dogecoin. During its creation, the developer set out to create a currency that will answer people's universal needs. It should be noted that the token was created as a tribute to Tesla CEO Elon Musk. Before its creation, Elon Musk was an avid backer of Dogecoin, which endeared many to the meme coin.

According to the developer, the coin will continue to undergo development as at when due. The developer intends to help as many people were scammed or rug pulled in the crypto sector. With this, the developers said a certain amount of tokens would be sent to users in the market who were victims of the hack.

Presently, the ELON token is trading at $0.000002, losing 0.10% in the last 24 hours. Elon is currently occupying the #120 position on CoinMarketCap with a market cap of $931,107,723. The token in circulation is around 555,841,793,004,366 ELON with its 24 hour trading volume around $39,453,985.

Conclusion

The tokens above are the top 5 tokens with a market cap of under $1 billion. Although there are some worthy mentions, traders should be careful with the kind of tokens they trade. Trading tokens in the crypto market is very risky, including already established top tokens like Ethereum and Bitcoin. A trader who wants to trade would be open to a degree of loss and must adopt a winning strategy to his trades. Traders should also ensure that the tokens in their portfolio are tokens that they trust to make good moves. Finally, carrying out research can never be overrated as it will open a trader's eyes to see reasons to add or remove tokens from their wallets.
