New Year, New Lows? | January 2023
2022 has been the first bearish year since 2019, which opened its doors into a new bear market, one people we're definitely in need of. In this report, we dive into the charts to give you our expectations on how the market is going to perform in 2023, and whether it will be bullish or not.

2022 Summary
- Total Market Cap: -65.39%
- Altcoins Market Cap: -66.59%
- Bitcoin: -64.23%
- Ether: -67.48%
- Solana: -94.14%
TLDR
- 2022 was a year of severe collapses: FTX, BlockFi, Voyager, Celsius, LUNA and Three Arrows Capital.
- The collapses distressed the markets further than anticipated and further than all expectations.
- Markets function like an elastic band, if you push it too far one way it will go back to the mean. In this case, have we seen a big undershoot which leads to a large relief rally?
- The Total Market Cap reached what we like to call a "bottom-making region". We believe a relief rally is on the cards.
Total Market Cap
The Total MCap has entered what we believe to be the "Bottom-Making" region. This area spans from ~$600B to ~$750B, meaning the remaining potential downside is another 20% - not something we're waiting for to "start" buying.
We're monitoring this index closely because once the market structure changes with a higher low and a higher high, a 100%+ rally is on the cards.
Altcoins' Market Cap
The Alts MCap has broken through the $475B high set in 2017 while setting a new low on the monthly candle closures. This coincides with the same ~20/25% further downside that's on the cards across the market which leads this index to $350B.
This scenario would be invalidated and a rally will be incoming if we see a reclaim of $475B.
Bitcoin | BTC
Bitcoin has broken through the 2017 high since summer, then we saw a new low being set which sets the stage for $14,000.
Once again, we are closely monitoring charts for any market structure change as that would lead to a decent rally and it's not promised that the full -20% downside is fulfilled - we must remain flexible.
Ethereum | ETH
Out of all charts, ETH is the only one looking decent as it has managed to not set new lows. We reckon another test of $900-$1,000 is on the cards - in line with the indexes - but we're not going to negotiate cents for tens of dollars. We already started buying ETH.
Solana | SOL
Had to use the logarithmic chart to properly showcase what's happening. SOL is one of the few assets that seems has another -50% with the next target at $4.75.
Synthetix | SNX
Another log chart.
SNX is in downside price discovery, we would not touch it until we see clear reversal on the indexes.
dYdX | DYDX
Another log chart.
DYDX is in downside price discovery, we would not touch it until we see clear reversal on the indexes. If we had to guess, we'd say we may see a $0.5 DYDX but there's a weekly break of $1 necessary for that to happen.
THORChain | RUNE
Another log chart.
RUNE has tested the previous high at $1, which thus far is holding. We wouldn't touch altcoins overall (in large buying) until we see a reversal from the indexes. In our opinion, RUNE may undershoot towards $0.80 but $1 will hold on the monthly timeframe.
Synapse | SYN
Another log chart.
SYN is in downside price discovery, we would not touch it until we see clear reversal on the indexes. We are yet to see the same break happen on the weekly timeframe, however it seems very plausible that it does.
A reclaim of $0.58 invalidates the downside scenario.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
How does the success guarantee work?
If our approach to the market doesn’t beat the overall crypto market during your subscription, we’ll give you a full refund of your membership fee. No questions asked. For quarterly and monthly subscribers this is applicable once your subscription runs for 6 consecutive months.
