Weekly Recon: Equilibrium Found as Ethereum Stabilises
Time to separate the signal from the noise. It's a week of consolidation, with capital waiting for a clear signal.
Market Overview: Dec 7 - Dec 14
This week marks a consolidation phase, characterised by Ethereum leading the pack with 247,845 million in tracked total value locked. Average yields declined by -0.05%, reflecting stable equilibrium between supply and demand.
Total value locked across our index expanded by approximately +2.2% over the 7-day period. This movement aligns with the broader narrative of market consolidation and cautious positioning.
Capital Flows & Liquidity Dynamics
The DeFi ecosystem processed significant liquidity movements this week. The market is in wait-and-see mode, with capital moving sideways between similar-risk pools rather than entering or exiting en masse.
It's also worth noting that the Money Flow engine picked up $308.2M in verified inflows this week, mostly directed towards Ethereum. Capital allocation continues to favour the established chains.
Performance Spotlight: The Week's Alpha
In a crowded field, one pool stood out for consistent performance. The GHO market on Aave V3 (Base) delivered a robust average APY of 5.09% throughout the week.
For yield farmers seeking stability over degenerate spikes, this represents the "sweet spot" of current market conditions, high enough to beat inflation, but backed by a protocol with significant depth (>$1M TVL). Users employing our Balanced Strategy would have seen this asset heavily weighted in their allocation.
Moonitooki's Outlook
"The data doesn't lie, but it often whispers before it shouts."
This week's -0.05% yield delta is the signal to watch. We are in equilibrium. Consider optimising positions and wait for a breakout.
These moments separate the disciplined from the emotional.
The blockchain never lies—but it doesn't reveal everything immediately either.
