Altcoins
ETH/USDTOn the chart, we observe that the ETH/USDT pair is moving within a descending channel and is trading below the 20, 50, 100, and 200-day moving averages. This view confirms that the overall trend is weak.
The areas highlighted in red are Order Block (OB) zones where heavy institutional buy/sell orders were executed in the past. In particular, the $2160 level on the demand side has previously acted as critical support where the price received a strong reaction. If the price holds in this zone, a short-term rally toward the upper band of the descending channel could be seen. However, if the OB zone breaks to the downside, the decline might deepen and new lows could be tested.
The RSI indicator is currently neutral, so it does not signal overbought or oversold conditions.
Since the MACD continues to remain in negative territory, there is not yet a strong bullish momentum signal.
Additionally, due to the lack of a significant increase in volume, additional catalysts are needed to expect a sharp change in market direction in the short term.
In summary, if the OB zone is maintained, the likelihood of an upward correction increases. Otherwise, selling pressure may intensify, and if a daily candlestick closes below the demand support line, the $2160 level should be used as a stop-loss. It is important to use stop-loss and similar risk management methods in both bullish and bearish scenarios.

Maker: Elliott Waves Theory ($6,111 & $9,407)I think what is most beautiful about this method is its simplicity.
Let's review Maker in terms of Elliott Waves.
We have two main patterns.
The impulse and the correction.
An impulse develops mainly in five waves. (1,2,3,4,5)
The correction in three waves. (ABC)
An impulse will lead to a correction.
A correction will lead to an impulse.
To use this system, we just need to spot where the market is at in the present time.
There was a clear bullish impulse between 2023 and 2024.
This impulse was followed by a correction.
The current correction can be over or might not be over.
For example, the C wave 3-Feb. can continue lower and bottom at a later date. This can only be known after the event.
What we know for sure is that MKRUSDT is now within a correction and after this correction a new bullish impulse will develop. An impulse produces a minimum of five waves.
We can expect rising prices based on this simple method.
We have targets between $6,111 (wave 3) and $9,407 (wave 5).
Thank you for reading.
Namaste.
Cardano Looks Ready For Its 2025 Bull-Market Bullish WaveDo you remember this chart? It is from August 2024.
The first wave or initial bullish breakout is now complete. ADAUSDT (Cardano) is officially in 2025 bull-market territory. Prepare for a new wave; prepare for massive growth.
The initial bullish breakout peaked very early in December last year. A strong bullish wave will always, invariably, lead to a correction. This correction is clearly present on this chart.
The present correction doesn't mean much for the market. This is just a period of rest while the players; traders and market participants, consolidate all previous gains. The market needs to adapt to the previous massive phase of growth.
Ok. We are already fully adapted. We feel fine.
Cryptocurrency market, let's continue now!
We are ready for more.
In a bullish market a correction will always end in a higher low. The higher the low of the higher low, the stronger the chart/pair is considered. For example, ADAUSDT launched the previous bullish wave from a baseline of $0.3000. The correction higher-low ended more or less around $0.6000. That's 100% higher compared to baseline price. This means that Cardano is super strong.
The first peak ended around $1.35 which is awesome. From a low of $0.2756 in August 2024 this adds up to some 375% total growth. This time around, there will be more.
You can find several targets on this chart. Below the previous ATH we have $2.00. This is good but not a big deal. Beyond the previous ATH we have $4.84. This is awesome/great. We also have $8.11 and even $10.5 as new 2025 peak potential. We have to wait and see how it all goes.
I am sharing this now because I think that right now we are witnessing the establishment of a short-term higher low. The first low in early February, and now the second low. This second —higher— low will launch the next bull-market bullish wave. This means that we are ready for growth, give or take a few days. But my money is on the now! We are going up now!
Thank you for reading.
Namaste.
DOT Eyes 170% Breakout as Nasdaq Sets to List Grayscale PolkadotPolkadot (DOT) is on the verge of a massive breakout as institutional interest in altcoin-based exchange-traded funds (ETFs) gains momentum. With Nasdaq officially submitting a filing to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to list and trade shares of the Grayscale Polkadot Trust (DOT), the stage is set for DOT to witness significant capital inflows, potentially driving a 170% rally.
Nasdaq Files to List Grayscale Polkadot ETF
The cryptocurrency investment landscape is undergoing a major shift as traditional financial institutions increasingly embrace digital assets. In a recent filing, Nasdaq submitted Form 19b-4 to the SEC, requesting approval to list and trade shares of the Grayscale Polkadot Trust. If approved, this move will provide investors with a regulated and institutional-grade avenue to gain exposure to DOT.
Grayscale Investments, the asset management firm behind the proposed ETF, has been aggressively expanding its crypto product offerings. Alongside the Polkadot ETF, the firm has filed for a spot Cardano ETF and an XRP Trust conversion. Other potential digital asset ETFs, including those tracking Solana (SOL), Dogecoin (DOGE), and Litecoin (LTC), are also being considered.
This filing follows a broader trend of growing institutional interest in crypto ETFs. In late January, asset manager 21Shares also applied for a spot Polkadot ETF, signaling heightened confidence in DOT’s long-term potential. The SEC now has 45 days to review Nasdaq’s application, after which it can approve, deny, or extend the decision-making process.
Technical Indicators Signal a 170% DOT Breakout
As of the time of writing, Polkadot is trading at $4.40, up 1.4% on the day. The technical outlook for DOT presents a highly bullish scenario, with the asset forming a textbook falling wedge pattern—a historically reliable setup that has preceded major upward price movements.
A closer examination of DOT’s price action reveals striking similarities to its March 2024 trading pattern, where the token surged 170% following a breakout from a similar wedge formation. Historically, DOT has exhibited a strong tendency to rally after breaking out of falling wedge patterns, making this a key inflection point for traders.
Momentum indicators further reinforce the bullish outlook. DOT’s Relative Strength Index (RSI) currently sits at 37, indicating that the asset remains in oversold territory with significant upside potential. With buyer accumulation increasing and selling pressure waning, DOT appears poised to capitalize on this dip before an explosive breakout takes place.
No Altseason Until Other.D Reclaims the UptrendApparently $Other.D has broken through the upper trend line for weeks.
In the past four times, altcoins surged when other.d touched the trend line.
Now it has broken this pattern.
We will not have altcoin season until it goes back to above the upper trend line.
In the past few weeks, those shorting altcoins outside the Top 10 have actually made more profit.
Hang in there, for those who waiting for altseason.

XRP DAILY XRP close to retesting the 1D 200 EMA for the first time since the US election. For now I can see a few key levels that create a smaller mini range made up of the DAILY RESISTANCE as the top, KEY S/R as midpoint and BULLISH ORDERBLOCK as the low which will coincide with the 1D 200 EMA soon.
- Current price action is extremely volatile so directionally it's difficult to tell where we are goin in the short term, but I would become interested at the extremes of the mini range.
- A LONG entry would be a more gradual revisit of the Bullish Orderblock and the 1D 200 EMA, that would be a great place to go long because the directional bias would be more clear and uncertainty cleared up.
- A SHORT would be a sweep of the supply zone and drop back into the mini range which would aim to go towards the midpoint and then range low/ 1D 200 EMA.
In general the next few days will be volatile, FOMO will be huge but keeping rational is important.
Ethereum — 2025. The Lord Giveth and Taketh Away (Caution! 18+)Donald Trump's recent policies and statements have generated significant negative sentiment towards Ethereum and the broader cryptocurrency market. As he resumes the presidency, his administration's approach to cryptocurrencies is expected to be more regulatory and cautious, which could impact Ethereum investors.
Historical Context of Trump's Views on Cryptocurrency
Trump has a mixed history with cryptocurrencies, as we mentioned in earlier published ideas. Initially, he labeled them a "scam", "based on thin air" as well as "threat to the U.S. dollar" and expressed skepticism about their value, stating that they are not real money and are highly volatile. However, in recent months, he has shifted his stance somewhat, reportedly owning between $1 million and $5 million in Ethereum as of August 2024. Despite this personal investment, his public comments continue to reflect a critical view of the crypto market.
Impact of Recent Tariffs on Ethereum
The most immediate cause of concern for Ethereum investors has been Trump's announcement of new tariffs on imports from Canada, Mexico, and China. This decision triggered a significant sell-off in the cryptocurrency market, with Ethereum experiencing a drastic price drop of over 26% in just one day. The overall cryptocurrency market lost nearly half a trillion dollars in value following these announcements, highlighting the interconnectedness of global trade policies and digital asset valuations.
The tariffs have led to increased uncertainty among investors, prompting many to liquidate their positions in riskier assets like Ethereum. This reaction is indicative of a broader trend where geopolitical tensions and economic policies directly influence cryptocurrency prices. Analysts noted that such trade policies could lead to inflationary pressures and a stronger dollar, making cryptocurrencies less attractive to international buyers.
Future Outlook for Ethereum Under Trump's Administration
Looking ahead, Trump's administration is likely to focus on stricter regulations for cryptocurrencies. This could manifest in enhanced oversight that may slow down the adoption of Ethereum by businesses and individuals. However, there is also potential for increased legitimacy if clear regulations are established.
Moreover, Trump's interest in Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) might further complicate the landscape for Ethereum. As the U.S. explores its digital dollar initiative, Ethereum's decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem could face stiff competition from state-backed digital currencies.
Technical challenge
The main technical graph for Ethereum BITSTAMP:ETHUSD indicates on Bearish trend in development, since mid-December 2024, with acceleration occurred a day before Mr. Trump entered the White House.
Key support considered as 100-week SMA (near $2550 in this time) and $2200 flat multi bottom, that helps so far; otherwise (in case of breakthrough) we believe it could lead the Ethereum price much lower, as it described on the chart.
Conclusion
In summary, while Trump’s personal investment in Ethereum marks a notable shift from his previous criticisms, his administration's policies—especially regarding tariffs—have created a challenging environment for Ethereum investors. The combination of regulatory uncertainty and macroeconomic factors will likely continue to influence Ethereum's market performance in the near future.
Solana - Likely to hold the 50% level at $138Solana at $139
50% level from top 2021 to bottom 2022 is at 138. Most likely this is the bottom area and we should eventually bounce form here. If it takes days or hours is hard to say. But for the bulls this is the area to hold.
For the bears you want to break below and hold below for days.
Im bullish. Total 3 going down on low volume is also a bullish sign for the market. Im buying.
