Bitcoin is finally seeing its long overdue correction. Signs point to this correction
being a short term dip before the rally resumes. ETH and Altcoins suffered along
with Bitcoin, but are now more primed than ever as Bitcoin consolidates.

Introduction
Bitcoin - is this the top or a correction?
Glassnode NUPL Chart LookIntoBitcoin Free NUPL Chart
Technical Analysis
Net Unrealized Profit/Loss (NUPL) is an important long term indicator that
can help us figure out if Bitcoin has topped in the long term or if this is
simply a short term correction. It combines Bitcoin onchain data with price
to determine the percentage of all Bitcoins that are currently in profit
since they last changed hands.
This indicator typically tops out after reaching the 75% level, indicating
enough participants are in profit for us to be in an euphoria stage. We were
getting dangerously close to this level, however the current correction has
reset the NUPL indicator back down to healthy levels.
This is an amazing sign for Bitcoin long term, as we saw a similar pattern
in the 2017 bull market. After reaching $3000 in early 2017, Bitcoin saw a
long overdue correction. This shook out the short term speculators and after
which price rallied another 10x to the eventual peak of $20000. NUPL should
be coming down to a healthier levels this week. And I expect the $40000 peak
to be a local top rather than THE global top. I think Bitcoin will have
a much longer bull market after this short term drop that can bring us to
$100k if not $200k levels.

Bitcoin Correction Effects on Altcoins
https://www.tradingview.com/x/gqSc0wXA/
Technical Analysis
After the recent 3 months long Bitcoin rally, it is seeing blow-off top style
correction similar to that in early 2018. I expect this particular correction after
a huge rally to be bullish for Altcoins. Looking at the 2018 correction, even when
Bitcoin has topped out at 20k and started a bear market, the total Altcoin market
cap still experienced a delayed rally for a month before falling. This is because as
the market sentiment is strong, many people took profits from Bitcoin but invested
them in more risky Altcoins. The delayed Altcoin rally then peaked at the first
lower high made by Bitcoin.
Looking at the current correction, this is a win-win scenario for Altcoins. If
Bitcoin has indeed topped out, we can still wait for the first lower high to take
profit from Altcoins at likely higher profits.
If this correction proves to be only a short term correction, Altcoins will do even
better as they can rally together with Bitcoin to higher levels.
Either way, I think we have a profitable short term opportunity to buy Altcoins
during this dip. I will look to take profits from Altcoins when Bitcoin makes a
short term bounce back up to test the 40,000 range.

Medium Risk Picks
DeFi Index (Binance, FTX, or DeFi Pulse Index)
Fundamental Analysis
DeFi is the hottest category of Cryptos and should rise first in
the new Altcoin cycle. The problem with DeFi is the vast number of
projects with varying degrees of legitmacy. Fortunately, there are
now Indices built around legit DeFi projects. The top three indices I
recommend are from Binance, FTX, and DeFi Pulse.
These indices are vetted by the exchanges and only fundamentally
strong projects are included. The constituents of the indices also
rebalance regularly, to include the latest projects.
Here are the current breakdown of the three indices mentioned:
Binance DEFIUSDT Index:
AAVE, BAL, BAND, BZRX, COMP, CRV, KAVA, KNC, LINK, MKR, REN, RSR,
RUNE, SNX, SRM, SXP, TRB, UNI, YFII, YFI, ZRX

14 Medium Risk Picks
Medium Risk Picks
DeFi Index (Binance, FTX, or DeFi Pulse Index)
Fundamental Analysis
Out of the three indices mentioned, my favorite is the Binance DeFi
index. This is because the Binance index rebalances every week, while
the other two indices rebalance every few month. A frequent rebalance
allows the index to quickly include new project launches. For example
the Binance index quickly included UNI and YFI while the FTX index
took over a month after the UNI launch to include it.
Another difference to consider is that the Binance and FTX indices
are futures contracts, meaning you are able to speculate on the price
of the coins, but cannot redeem for the coins to withdraw. You can
however sell the index and buy the coins on the same exchange to
withdraw, but it is an extra step.
The Binance and FTX indices are also ran by centralized exchanges.
The DeFi Pulse Index (DPI) on the other hand, is completely decentralized
and CAN BE used to redeem the underlying tokens at any time. The DPI
index itself is an ERC20 token tradeable on Uniswap.
This is both a pro and a con, as the DeFi Pulse Index only works with
Ethereum based DeFi projects, and cannot include projects from other
ecosystem such as KAVA, DOT, SOL, etc.
Overall, I think the DeFi indices are the best bet right now for two
reasons. First, the DeFi niche is likely to be the best performing.
Second, the indices help filter out lesser known and high risk projects,
as most coins included have a mid to large market cap. This fits our
strategy around the money flow in crypto, as we want to enter large
cap cryptos first.

ANKR has just launched its STKR product: https://stkr.io/ , a decentralized
staking service for ETH 2.0. This allows you to stake ETH in ETH 2.0 without
needing 32 ETH. When staking on STKR you also get a token back to represent your
staked ETH, as opposed to staking directly in the protocol that locks your ETH
up for 1+ years. This allows everyday users to easily stake and cash out at any
time.
ANKR has a market cap of $53M which makes it a medium cap project with medium

TrustSwap (SWAP)
Market Cap: $44 Million
Current Price: $0.67
Target Prices: $1.72, $3.00, Moon
Category: Token Sale, Payment, DEX
Fundamental Analysis
TrustSwap is a DeFi protocol focusing on advanced features in DeFi
transactions. Their core innovation is escrowed crypto payments which
are distributed over time.
The most obvious use cases are crypto subscription payments, and
time-locked token releases in token sales.
Many services in the crypto industry today (including this report
subscription) could benefit from a subscription service paid through
crypto. However, no such service exists to my knowledge. Customers
are forced to manually renew their subscriptions, and as a result
many merchants do not accept crypto payments at all.
Another usecase of time-locked transactions is token sale. As new
projects conduct many rounds of presales and have vested team
tokens, they typically need to implement their own token vesting
smart contracts. TrustSwap simplifies this process and makes
the process easier for project teams, and more transparent and
trustworthy for investors.

Fundamental Analysis
Plasma Finance is an all-in-one DeFi platform launched by Blockchain

Fiat on/off ramp, liquidity pool management, DEX & SWAP aggregator,
lending & borrowing, and Cross-chain swaps.
PlasmaPay has launched their payments focused blockchain and fiat
gateways over a year ago, and these infrastructures are now being
easily integrated together to make a comprehensive DeFi product.
PlasmaPay also has a large number of partners including Elrond,
Ferrum, Settle, DIA, Nest, Base, Orion, Bifrost, PAID, etc.
You can already try out their payments platform with fiat on-off
ramps, or the DeFi platform.
Overall this is one of the most mature new DeFi projects out today,

Plasma Finance Private Sale Tokenomics (PPAY)
Fundamental Analysis
The PPAY token private sale had a highest price of $0.02. These are
the insider investors and their tokens are gradually unlocked for the
next 3-6 months. Private sale prices typically hold as good support
levels as insider investors rarely sell at a loss.
The current price of PPAY is around $0.029, which is 45% above the
private sale price. Although the chart is still looking bearish, and
I expect more downside in PPAY’s price. Therefore, I will try to
accumulate PPAY whenever it dips to around $0.02.
In the longer term, I think this project’s ecosystem is much more
mature than many of the newer projects. Looking at the token release
schedule, there would be around 600M tokens circulating by Q2 of 2021.
At a target price of $0.2, this equates to 120M in market cap, which
is realistic if the Altcoin market overall performs well.

Market Cap: $23 Million
Current Price: $0.01
Target Price: $0.024, $0.038, $0.05
Category: DeFi, Polkadot Ecosystem,
Yearn Ecosystem
Fundamental Analysis
Akropolis is a project building DAOs with easy to use interfaces for
DeFi. There are currently three core products:
1. AkropolisOS: A solidity framework for building DeFi dapps.
2. Aparta: A community-owned fund that provides undercollateralized
loans in DeFi. This is a first in the DeFi space.
3. Delphi: A pool that automatically dollar-cost averages into BTC,
ETH and various liquidity mining opportunities.
Akropolis is actively involved in both the Ethereum and Polkadot
ecosystems. It integrates many existing DeFi protocols on Ethereum
and is actively working on a bridge to connect these projects to
Polkadot.
Akropolis has also recently been merged with Yearn Finance, and is
now part of the Yearn ecosystem. This gives it much more development
and advisory resources to further develop its products and bring
utility to its token. We have seen positive price impacts to CREAM
and Pickle finance after their mergers with Yearn. Akropolis on the

NFTX (NFTX)
Market Cap: $11M
Current Price: $26
Target Price: $100, $200
Category: NFT Index Fund
Fundamental Analysis
NFTX is one of my favorite new projects in a while. Although it is
not yet released, it deserves a full gem pick spot coverage.
NFTX is a platform for making ERC20 tokens that are backed by NFT
collectibles. These tokens are called funds, and (like all ERC20s)
they are fungible and composable. With NFTX, it is possible to
create and trade funds based on your favorite collectibles such as
CryptoPunks, Axies, CryptoKitties, and Avastars, right from a DEX
like Uniswap.
There are also two levels of NFTX funds: D1 funds which represent
only one type of NFTs, and D2 funds that can represent a basket of
many different NFTs.
This project fills a clear void in the current crypto space. NFTs
are a hot niche primed for growth, however novice investors have a
hard time identifying and acquiring valuable NFTs by themselves.
NFTX makes it easy for any investor to get into their favorite
NFT projects or even the NFT space in general, without needing to
pick out specific NFT collectibles. Since the funds are also ERC20
tokens, investors can buy as little of a NFT fund as they’d like,
instead of needing to buy the entire collectibles.

NFTX (NFTX)
Fundamental Analysis
The NFTX token was distributed through a community bounty.
Essentially early supporters could contribute ETH or various NFTs to
the Index Funds and get rewarded with NFTX tokens. The final price
of the token distribution was 43 NFTX per ETH, and at the time ETH
price was around $1000. This gives the token sale a highest price of
$23 per token.
The NFTX token is currently trading at $26, makint it only 13%
higher than the sale price.
Another huge plus for the NFTX project is the token breakdown. 60%
of all tokens were already sold and circulating in the market.
With 30% left to be distributed for platform users and liquidity
providers, and 10% for the founder vested over 5 years. This means
there is very little inflation and thus selling pressure left in the
token distribution.
Assuming we see another major Altseason, NFTs are a huge narrative
that people will want to invest in, and I could easily see NFTX
