The cryptocurrency market continues to show signs of recovery despite recent fluctuations. According to QCP Capital’s latest market assessment, the new highs reached by the US stock market may indicate that risky assets could also continue to rise. In contrast, the situation is different for the Chinese stock market, where a lack of a new fiscal stimulus package from the government has led to a continuous downward trend. The A50 Index fell another 7% today, marking a total decline of 17% from its latest peak.
The Memecoin Market Gains Momentum
One of the most discussed topics in the crypto space lately is the rise of memecoins. There has been a notable increase in both on-chain and off-chain trading volumes, with some traders capitalizing on this interest by engaging in high-leverage trades. Memecoins, driven by popular narratives such as “hippo” or “cat,” have intensified the speculation in the market.
QCP Capital pointed out that the funding rates for perpetual contracts on major exchanges like Binance and Deribit have risen over the past two weeks. This suggests a decrease in short positions or an increase in long positions. The market appears to be becoming more optimistic; however, experts caution that excessive optimism may pose a risk of correction.
Positive Medium-Term Outlook
Although uncertainties persist in the short term, QCP Capital believes the market is still progressing positively in the medium term. The company indicated that they would continue to accumulate despite occasional declines. It is emphasized that caution is crucial for investors, especially when the market becomes overly optimistic, necessitating careful actions.
