Alpha Bank Shows Impressive Performance Alpha Bank Shows Impressive Performance in the First Nine Months of 2024, with Positive Indicators Boosting Investor Confidence and Paving the Way for Upgraded Forecasts for the Rest of the Year.
Alpha Bank reported adjusted net profits of €666 million, showing a 16% annual increase, while net profits reached €489 million. The impressive increase in earnings per share to €0.27 highlights the bank's profitability, with a return on equity of 14.4%.
Net interest income showed a 2% annual increase, while fee income saw an impressive rise of 11%, reaching €306 million. This growth in fee income reflects the bank’s success in diversifying its revenue streams and expanding into payment and wealth management services.
The non-performing exposure (NPE) ratio stands at a low 4.6%, underscoring the resilience of the bank’s portfolio and prudent risk management. Meanwhile, the cost of risk has been significantly reduced to 63 basis points, contributing to the improvement in the bank’s asset quality.
The increase in loans by 8% and deposits by 10% reflects strong customer confidence and the continuous strengthening of the bank’s portfolio. Alpha Bank seems to be adapting exceptionally well to the increased market needs, especially in the business loan segment.
The bank’s balance sheet is well-structured to withstand interest rate reductions, with strong capital adequacy and a proper asset allocation. This provides stability and protection against potential market fluctuations, with minimal impact on net interest income.
The increased demand for business loans is reflected in a 67% rise in corporate loans since 2018, with Alpha Bank outperforming the sector average in loan growth. The positive trend in loan demand is expected to continue, offering further growth opportunities.
Alpha Bank holds a leading position in wealth management, with the largest mutual funds under management in Greece. The expected increase in fee income by 2026, particularly in the payments and wealth management sectors, supports the bank's strategy for revenue diversification.
The bank is on track for further growth in earnings per share, with an expected return reaching €0.35 by 2026, thanks to continuous improvements in operational efficiency and strong financial performance.
Alpha Bank’s capital adequacy is higher than the average of Greek banks, with a CET1 ratio of 15.5%, while over 30% of its market cap is expected to be distributed as dividends by 2026. This strong capital base enables management to reward shareholders while maintaining sufficient capital reserves.

3 Altcoins to watch this weekend...BINANCE:RAREUSDT
After a 50% surge, RARE is currently in a sharp correction phase.
As it approaches the black structure, I will be looking for trend-following longs.
BINANCE:MASKUSDT
Just like RARE, MASK surged by over 60% forming a massive demand zone marked in blue.
As it retests the demand zone, it would be an attractive zone to look for longs at a discount.
BINANCE:ALPHAUSDT
This one is the strongest among today's list, as it surged by almost 50% 2 weeks ago.
ALPHA has been in a correction mode and seems the bears are loosing momentum.
The more it approaches the gray demand zone, the more potential the bulls will have to kick in.
Which altcoins would you like me to cover next?
All Strategies Are Good; If Managed Properly!

Alpha Stella price was pumped strong, why?)#ALPHA price has gained +150% and was pumped in just 3 days. Previously, this happened with #APE
What's going on?) Apart from the rebranding to #Stella, does anyone else know anything?
Because now it remains to select coins that have been falling for a very long time, and now they have formed a pattern at the bottom, as shown on the chart, and hope that your coin will be the next to be pumped)
P.S:
OKX:ALPHAUSDT price has entered a zone of strong sales, so we would not be comfortable taking it long before $0.078-0.080

Alikze »» ALPHA | Movement in the descending channel🔍 Technical analysis: Movement in the descending channel
- In the 1D and 1W time frames, it is moving in a descending channel.
- It has encountered support in the range of the green box.
- Due to the change in structure and behavior in the 1D time frame, it can have an upward movement up to the limit of the ceiling of the descending channel.
💎 If the current rising wave is accelerated, after hitting the first supply area which is the neck line of the previous corrective wave, it can continue the upward trend after a temporary correction to the next supply area.
⚠️ In addition, if the floor of the previous range is touched, the bullish scenario will be invalidated and must be reviewed and updated again.⚠️

BINANCE:ALPHAUSDT
ALPHA/USDT INCOMING 50% SHORT POSITIONCurrently in a long quick scalp position as you can see on the charts, after that I will shift to the short position where I am looking for 40-50% gains. This analysis is based on my gut feeling and a little bit of patterns and history (I am trading since 8 years having seen 3 bull runs, this is my fourth bull run).
Let's see how this one plays out.
ALPHA Is going to bounceOn higher timeframe (weekly) ALPHA is still n the accumulation phase, and that's good for the long term investor. For long term, $0,28 is the first possible target. Looking at short term, I think we will see a bounce probably from the $.097/0.1 area, and we the price should go to close the fair value gap, and we can target 0.124 first and 0.129 next
ALPHA/USDT It required break the resistance for reversal to UP!💎 Paradisers, #ALPHA is indeed exhibiting promising movements that warrant close attention.
💎 Currently, it appears that the price is poised to undergo a retest of the support area around 0.115 before potentially bouncing back to face the resistance zone between 0.13 and 0.1415.
💎 Should ALPHA successfully break above this resistance, it could signify not only a breakout from the immediate resistance but also from the descending pattern.
💎 Such a breakout would likely indicate a shift towards bullish sentiment, potentially leading to significant upward movement towards our target strong resistance area.
💎 However, if ALPHA fails to bounce off the support level and instead breaks down below it, there's a possibility that the price may revisit the key support area.
💎 Given ALPHA's historical tendency to bounce off key support levels, revisiting this zone could serve as a potential reversal point, allowing ALPHA to once again attempt to break through the resistance.
💎 Nevertheless, it's crucial to monitor ALPHA's ability to sustain its price above the key support area. A breakdown below this level would validate bearish momentum, and the bullish thesis would be invalidated. In such a scenario, the price may experience further downward movement.

ALPHAUSDT 1W LONG📈Hi all. Timeframe 1 week. ALPHAUSDT, after falling by 96% for two years, is in the accumulation channel with a step of 154%. Increased buyer volumes. I’m considering picking up spot now, with an unlikely pick-up from the green zone. Also long when the channel breaks out/retests - the trend changes to an upward one. Trading within a local channel in 50% increments is relevant. Marked goals and levels on the chart.
ALPHA/USDT preparing for bullish move| 👀🚀Alpha Today analysis💎 Paradisers, let's dive into #ALPHAUSDT as it's gearing up for a bullish turn from its support zone, indicating a strong chance for an upward movement.
💎 After breaking free from a descending channel, MYX:ALPHA is now in a position to potentially hit the resistance at $0.1697. The decreased volume at this point hints at a likely continuation of the bullish trend from the $0.1525 support zone, where an increase in volume suggests a momentum shift could be underway.
💎 However, if #ALPHA price drops below this support zone, it's time to adjust our strategy. We're prepared for a bullish recovery from the deeper support at $0.1460. A failure to rally from this level might lead to further declines. Let's stay vigilant and ready to pivot as necessary.

⚠️Things can change...
The markets are always changing and even with all these signals, the market changes tend to be strong and fast!!
ALPHA LOOKS BULLISHFrom the place we entered start on the chart, the diamond diametric has started. Now we seem to be at the end of the G wave of this diametric, and it is expected that the upward movements will start by maintaining the green area.

Closing a daily candle below the invalidation level will violate the analysis.
For risk management, please don't forget stop loss and capital management
When we reach the first target, save some profit and then change the stop to entry

ALPHA/USDT Bullish Momentum for ALPHA back to upward movement!💎 ALPHA has recently experienced significant market dynamics, facing rejection at the supply area. There's a potential for the price to undergo a retracement phase, testing the support area that was previously a resistance.
💎 If this retest is successful, with the price bouncing off the support, it could signal an attempt to break through the supply area again. A successful breakout above this level could lead to a significant upward movement towards our target area.
💎 However, if ALPHA fails to bounce off the support and instead breaks down below it, the price may reverse its trajectory and head downwards towards the demand area to establish a new momentum.
💎 The demand area has historically shown strength, often resulting in significant bounces when tested. Therefore, if ALPHA returns to this zone, there's a strong possibility of an upward reversal. Yet, if the demand area is breached, it could signify a more bearish trend for ALPHA, potentially leading to further declines.
