What’s the deal with DeFi “blue chips”? SNX, AAVE, YFI surge 100 percent off lows

2020-11-9 17:30

If you’ve been following Ethereum Twitter over the past few days, you’ve likely seen the term “blue chip” mentioned time and time again in reference to certain DeFi projects.

In traditional finance, a blue-chip company is one that is seen as reputable and steady, with the ability to perform well in any market conditions. The same goes for crypto.

The reason why so much emphasis has been placed on blue-chip DeFi projects over recent days is that they were expected to be the first to bounce in a DeFi recovery. And thus far, they have.

Blue-chip DeFi coins erupt higher, outperform all other cryptocurrencies

Prior to the past four days, DeFi coins were in freefall. The average DeFi coin, even reputable names like AAVE or Yearn.finance’s YFI, had dropped around 70-75 percent from their summer highs. Some coins were even worse off, failing to catch a bid as all capital was focused on Bitcoin.

This has changed dramatically over the past few days, though.

It began with YFI, which bounced swiftly from multi-month lows of $7,500 to $10,000, then $12,000, and to $18,000. The strong rally in this coin was seemingly a byproduct of a short squeeze, where those that are betting on an asset to go down are forced out of their positions violently due to buying activity. In total, YFI — one of the largest cryptocurrencies in existence — had gained 140 percent in the span of one and a half days.

This rally was followed by similar rallies in the prices of reputable DeFi coins like Uniswap’s UNI, AAVE, Thorchain’s RUNE, and Synthetix’s SNX.

The four coins, save for UNI, are up by almost exactly 100 percent since their local lows.

Analysts attribute the strong rallies in these DeFi “blue chips” to a large amount of capital on the sidelines being loaded back into the DeFi market as expectations of a bull market have returned.

This buying volume has resulted in short squeezes across the market.

Go blue

The market seems to be running with the concept of blue chips.

CMS Holdings, a crypto-asset investment fund, changed its logo, at least on Twitter, from red to blue. The operator of that CMS’ Twitter account, whomever it is, is known for regularly making jokes. This was one of those jokes.

Others followed suit, with prominent investors and traders within the DeFi space “bluifying” their profiles to express their support for the DeFi blue chips that were rallying so hard.

It’s one of DeFi’s latest inside jokes. Whether or not it affects the market, though, remains to be seen.

Bitcoin Price Analysis: Upward Drift Continues Following Established Macro Support

Since mid-February, the bitcoin market has continued to drift upward toward a band of strong, macro resistance (shown below as a red band). This slow, drift upward marks our fourth test of the resistance zone and, unlike the three prior tests, our rejection of the level has shown a weakness on the side of the bears:Figure 1: BTC-USD, Daily Candles, Fourth RejectionIf we compare the three prior rejections (labeled 1, 2 and 3), we see that the move into this resistance level was violent — and had equally violent rejections.

Bitcoin Price Analysis: Strong Move Likely Following Tightly Coiled Market

Days and days of sideways consolidation and tightening volume has been the name of the game for the bitcoin market. A narrow range of $200 has caused a weeks worth of activity to coil and consolidate in preparation for bitcoin’s next move:Figure 1: BTC-USD, Daily Candles, Narrow RangeThe figure above shows just how narrow the range has been over the last week as the market has continued to grind out support and fail to break above overhanging resistance.

Bitcoin Price Analysis: Range-Bound Market Coiled for Next Move

For the better part of a month and a half, bitcoin has been fairly range-bound and unable to establish new lows or new highs. There are some bullish and bearish setups on the horizon for bitcoin, so let’s check out both sides of the argument because currently the market is sitting in the middle of Indecisionville — the most immediate sign of which is this glaringly obvious head-and-shoulders bottom reversal pattern:Figure 1: BTC-USD, Daily Candles, Head-and-Shoulders BottomThis current pattern is nothing more than a setup at the moment, but it represents one potential outcome of this sustained consolidation.

Security Researchers Reveal Wallet Vulnerabilities On Stage at 35C3

In a demonstration titled “Wallet. fail,” a team of security researchers hacked into the Trezor One, Ledger Blue and Ledger Nano S. Unfortunately, it appears as if their findings were first put on display at the 35th Chaos Communication Congress (35C3) in Leipzig, Germany, rather than through accepted Responsible Disclosure practices, which would have allowed the manufacturers to patch the vulnerabilities and protect their customers from any potential attack.
