This is the general analysis of Bitcoin dominance, which we promised you in the analysis to analyze separately and analyze it for you in longer time frames.
🚀 Pavel Durov’s Release!
Pavel Durov, Telegram’s founder, has returned to Dubai after months of restrictions in France. He was detained in August 2024 over content monitoring allegations but announced on March 17, 2025, that he has finally returned to his main residence and Telegram’s headquarters in Dubai.
Durov thanked his team and lawyers, emphasizing that Telegram had gone beyond its legal obligations. While investigations in France continue, this return could be a turning point for Telegram’s future.
At the same time, the TON blockchain is gaining attention with its NFT ecosystem, including projects like GetGems and TON Diamonds. From Telegram usernames as NFTs to event tickets, TON is building a fast, scalable, and practical ecosystem that’s making headlines.
🔍 Deep Research
In our previous analysis, we conducted an in-depth fundamental review of TON—covering team background, blockchain developments, and ecosystem growth. Since investing requires a full understanding of a project, make sure to check out the previous analysis if you haven’t already.
📊 Weekly Time Frame
TON is one of the strongest altcoins in the market right now. While most altcoins have reached or formed new lows, TON is still holding above major supports.
After forming its all-time high of $8.288, TON entered a distribution zone. Due to overall market corrections, it lost the $4.765 support, leading to a sharp drop that reached the $2.650 support an area we previously identified for entries.
This support level is crucial, as it represents nearly 50% of the chart’s structure. Additionally, the 0.786 Fibonacci level and previous long-term resistance reinforce its importance. As seen on the chart, after touching this level, TON bounced sharply.
There is no clear spot buying trigger at this time frame yet. However, if TON forms a higher low, the chart will turn fully bullish.
For exit strategies, I am currently utilizing my TON within its ecosystem (NFT trading, etc.), so I do not plan to sell unless the price drops below $1.914.
📉 Daily Time Frame
After getting rejected at $6.912, TON entered an ascending triangle pattern—which is typically a bearish continuation pattern. The chart continued forming lower highs and lower lows, indicating that selling pressure outweighed buying interest.
After breaking down from this triangle, TON experienced a sharp 50% drop from the breakout point. However, upon reaching the $2.512 support, the price suddenly pumped, partly influenced by Pavel Durov’s release and new TON blockchain developments.
Even without the fundamental catalysts, this support level was critical, and a bounce was likely. This move has now formed a V Pattern, which is bullish.
If TON breaks above $3.857, we could see further price increases, making this a potential buy opportunity. Confirmation signals include RSI entering overbought territory and increased volume.
⏳ 4H Time Frame
TON is on my watchlist for long positions due to its strong hype and ecosystem developments.
🟢 Long Position:
We are currently testing a major resistance at $4.076. If this level breaks, we can safely enter a long position. If a lower time frame trigger appears, it may be worth entering early.
🔴 Short Position:
I generally don’t recommend shorting TON, but if it breaks below $3.569, it could trigger a decent short trade. However, since TON is still ranging in the daily time frame and market volume is low at the end of the month, be cautious—unpredictable wicks are likely.
✍️ Final Thoughts
Stay level headed, trade with precision, and let’s capitalize on the market’s top opportunities!

📈On-Chain Analysis of UNI
Analyzing Uniswap’s on-chain data, we observe key trends in profit and loss positioning, whale activity, and network engagement:
Around the $7.40 price level, approximately 39.55 million UNI tokens are in a loss position, indicating a potential resistance zone. Meanwhile, support levels remain weak due to a lower volume of profitable tokens.
Large transactions show slight spikes during price declines, suggesting a lack of strong buying interest from major investors.
Whales hold 51% of the total supply, making their trading activity crucial. Currently, addresses with holdings between 100 million to 1 billion UNI and 10 million to 100 million UNI are engaging in selling, adding downward pressure on price.
Network activity, including active and new addresses, is on a declining trend, signaling reduced user engagement and transaction volume.
Based on on-chain metrics, there is no significant buying pressure or demand at the moment, raising concerns over short-term price recovery.
📊Uniswap TVL Analysis
Since early December, Uniswap's Total Value Locked (TVL) has shown a slight increase, rising from 1.72 million ETH to 1.94 million ETH. However, this growth remains considerably lower compared to the levels observed in 2021, reflecting a slower pace of liquidity accumulation.
Now that we have reviewed the project, let’s move on to the chart to analyze it from a technical perspective.
📅 Weekly Timeframe
In the weekly timeframe, we observe a long-term range-bound trend with a slight upward slope. Currently, the price is experiencing a downward move, with the primary support at 5.841.
💫 If this level breaks, the price may continue declining, and the next key support is at 4.025. On the other hand, if RSI does not drop below 38.74 and the price holds above 5.841, we can have more confidence in a potential price increase.
🎲 In this scenario, the key resistance levels are 11.638 and 18.794. The main trigger for buying is the breakout of 18.794, and the major sharp price movement will occur after breaking the ATH resistance at 42.92.
🔽 The critical support level that should not be lost is 4.025, as breaking below this level could result in a sharp bearish movement, and in that case, we will use Fibonacci tools to determine the bearish targets.
📅 Daily Timeframe
Now, let’s move to the daily timeframe for a more detailed view.
🔍 As seen in this timeframe, after price consolidation below 12.559, the second corrective wave has begun, and the price has currently fully retraced the previous bullish wave, reaching 6.670.
📉 If this level breaks, the next key supports are 5.556 and 4.025, with 4.025 overlapping with the 1.5 Fibonacci extension.
⚡️ If the price finds support at the current level, an appropriate trigger for a long position would be the breakout of 43.54 in RSI, which can serve as a momentum confirmation. Once RSI breaks this level, we can look at lower timeframes to define a precise entry trigger.
🔽 On the other hand, if RSI enters the Oversold zone, the likelihood of breaking 6.670 or even 5.556 increases.
🛒 For a spot buy, the current valid trigger is a breakout of the $10 level, which is the last local high in this timeframe. The exact number for this breakout level will be determined based on price action and its reaction when it approaches the area.
💥 If the price experiences further decline and establishes new highs and lows, the spot buy entry should be based on the breakout of the newly formed high in the downtrend.

TradeCityPro | Deep Search: In-Depth Of Solana👋 Welcome to TradeCity Pro! In this analysis, I will thoroughly review the SOL project, one of the largest crypto projects with a market cap of $73 billion, ranking it 6th among cryptocurrencies.
🔍What is Solana?
🔹Solana is a high-performance, permissionless blockchain platform launched in 2020 by Solana Labs (founded in 2018 by Anatoly Yakovenko and Raj Gokal).
Solana is a high-performance Layer-1 blockchain designed for speed, scalability, and low costs. Launched in 2020 by Solana Labs, it processes up to 65,000 transactions per second (TPS) with sub-second finality and low fees (~$0.0002 per transaction). Unlike Ethereum, which relies on Layer-2 solutions, Solana achieves scalability on Layer-1 using novel technologies like Proof of History (PoH). It is optimized for DeFi, NFTs, gaming, and payments, positioning itself as a fast, cost-efficient alternative to Ethereum.
—
🔹History & Background
olana’s development began in 2018, when Anatoly Yakovenko (a former Qualcomm engineer) published a whitepaper introducing Proof of History (PoH) as a new approach to timekeeping in distributed systems. The project attracted venture funding; in 2019 Solana raised $20 million in a Series A led by Multicoin Capital.
After several testnet iterations (nicknamed Tour de Sol, etc.), Solana’s mainnet beta officially went live in March 2020. The Solana Foundation, a Swiss non-profit, was also established in 2019 to steward ecosystem development.
Solana nodes take full advantage of multicore CPUs, GPUs, and high-bandwidth networks, processing transactions in parallel and pipeline fashion. The network’s 400–600 millisecond block times and capacity for multithreaded execution are a stark contrast to the single-threaded EVM model
—
🔹How Does Solana Work?
Solana’s speed and efficiency come from eight core innovations:
1) Proof of History (PoH): A cryptographic clock that timestamps transactions before consensus, reducing latency.
2) Tower BFT Consensus: A Proof-of-Stake (PoS) mechanism that leverages PoH to speed up block finalization.
3) Turbine: A block propagation system that breaks data into smaller packets for faster distribution.
4) Gulf Stream: A mempool-less forwarding system that pre-assigns transactions to upcoming validators.
5) Sealevel: A parallel smart contract execution engine, unlike Ethereum’s single-threaded execution.
6) Pipelining & Cloudbreak: A transaction processing unit and scalable storage for high throughput.
7) Archivers: A distributed storage system for historical blockchain data.
Together, these technologies enable high throughput and low fees while maintaining decentralization.
—
🔹 Solana’s Consensus Mechanism
Solana combines Proof-of-History (PoH) and Proof-of-Stake (PoS), with Tower BFT handling validator voting.
- PoH timestamps transactions, eliminating the need for validators to agree on time.
-PoS selects validators based on staked SOL, securing the network.
-Tower BFT speeds up consensus by locking validator votes, reducing fork probabilities.
-Finality is achieved within seconds, making Solana one of the fastest blockchains.
—
🔹SOL Tokenomics & Vesting
Initial supply: 500M SOL at launch (2020).
Distribution: 39% community, 25% private investors, 13% team and 10% foundation.
Inflationary model: Started at 8% annual inflation, decreasing 15% yearly until reaching 1.5% final inflation.
Token burn: 50% of transaction fees are burned, reducing supply growth.
Vesting: Early investor and team tokens had a 4-year vesting period, most fully unlocked by 2023.

🔹Solana’s 2025 Roadmap and DeFi Opportunities
A key focus in 2025 is Firedancer: a new Solana validator client being developed by Jump Crypto. Firedancer aims to drastically boost Solana’s throughput and stability – it has demonstrated a theoretical capacity of over 1 million transactions per second in tests. As of early 2025, the Solana team is actively testing Frankendancer (an early Firedancer version) on testnets, pushing for a supermajority of validators to trial it. This upgrade, once fully deployed, is expected to give Solana a significant edge in scalability and help avoid the network congestion issues seen in the past.
New Token Standard (Token-22): Solana’s roadmap also introduces Token-22, an enhanced token standard designed for more functionality in payments and digital assets. Token-22 will support built-in features like automatic royalties and richer ownership controls, which is especially useful for NFTs and gaming assets on Solana. This upgrade will enable developers to create more versatile dApps – for example, NFTs with enforced royalty payments or tokens with conditional transfer rules – improving the user experience within Solana’s ecosystem
Scaling Techniques (Sharding and Parallelization): Even though Solana already handles about 50k TPS, the core team is exploring sharding and other parallelization techniques to stay ahead of future demand
Security and Stability Enhancements: After a few high-profile outages in earlier years, Solana’s developers have made network robustness a top priority. The 2025 plan includes more rigorous third-party audits and battle-testing of the network under heavy load. y diversifying its validator client software (e.g. introducing Firedancer) and adding safeguards, Solana aims to prevent single points of failure. New cryptographic techniques and quality-of-service improvements are being rolled out to harden the network against both bugs and malicious attacks

🔹Seed and Private Sales:
Before its public launch, Solana raised capital through several funding rounds. In 2018, a seed round sold SOL tokens at about $0.04 per token, raising approximately $3.17 million.
This was followed by private investment rounds in 2019 where tokens were priced higher roughly $0.20 to $0.25 per SOL, bringing in additional funding (over $12 million in the first private round and $5–6 million in a second round)
Solana’s public token sale occurred in March 2020 on the CoinList platform, just prior to the network’s launch. 8 million SOL (about 1.6% of the initial 500M supply) were sold in this auction-style sale at a price of $0.22 per SOL.
🔹Solana's TVL and revenue:
First, let's examine its Total Value Locked (TVL). Overall, since early November 2023, we have witnessed an upward trend with strong momentum, reflecting growing attention and trust in this ecosystem. Specifically, the amount of locked Solana has increased from 9 million SOL on November 11 to nearly 50 million SOL (March 2, 2025). However, despite the rise in TVL, the network's revenue has been on a downward trend since January 2025, dropping from 70.5 thousand SOL to 2 thousand SOL, a decrease of approximately 97.16%.
🔹Solana On-Chain Analytics Overview
Whale Activity & Large Transactions:The number of whale addresses (holding ≥10,000 SOL) peaked in January 2025 but has since slightly declined, suggesting that some large holders may have reduced their positions. On February 24, a significant whale transaction involving 846,613 SOL ($127M) sparked speculation of a potential sell-off. Meanwhile, other whales appear to be accumulating SOL, with Binance withdrawals totaling 95,600 SOL on February 28, a portion of which was moved to staking, indicating confidence in the network's long-term value.
Active and New Addresswork Expansion:Despite robust growth in total addresses, daily active usage on Solana has recently tapered off. By late February 2025, daily active addresses dropped to approximately 3.5 million, marking a three-month low for the network. However, Solana continues to see strong adoption, adding over 5 million new addresses per day, even amidst market volatility. While the total address count grows, the decline in daily active addresses to 3.5 million reflects reduced user engagement. Transaction volume has also fallen to $1.5 billion, a four-month low, and stablecoin transfer volume has plummeted from $394 billion to $7.1 billion, signaling a significant slowdown in network activity.
👀 Now that we've reviewed the project, let's move on to the chart to also technically analyze this coin
🗓 Weekly Time Frame
As you can see in the weekly timeframe, after breaking the $27.55 level, SOL initiated a strong uptrend and managed to reach its previous ATH at $255.98. Currently, a price box has formed ranging from $126.40 to $255.98, where it has been oscillating for about a year.
⭐ The floor of the box aligns with the 0.236 Fibonacci level, creating a PRZ (Potential Reversal Zone). If the box is breached downward, SOL could begin its corrective wave targeting the significant Fibonacci levels of 0.382, 0.5, and 0.618. A pullback to the SMA99 could also be a plausible scenario.
⚡️ A divergence trigger in the RSI has activated with the break below 50, indicating a potential trend change to bearish, increasing the likelihood of breaking below $126.40.
🔼 If the price finds support at $126.40, there's a high possibility it could retest the upper boundary at $255.98, especially if Bitcoin stabilizes and forms a base.
🗓 Daily Time Frame
In the daily timeframe, we can observe more detailed price movements. After being rejected at the $260.88 area, SOL started its downward trajectory, breaking below $180.63, pulling back to this level, and continuing its decline.
🔍 The critical support now stands at $126.01, where the price has touched and initially reacted to this level. A break below this support could lead to further declines in the chart. Important areas in the daily timeframe are $99.81 and $82.39.
✅ The RSI is near a crucial area, close to entering the Oversell zone. Entry into this zone could heighten the probability of a bearish scenario and the breach of $126.01.
🧩 If the price rebounds from this support, as mentioned in the weekly analysis, we could witness a move up to the box ceiling. However, for now, any buying or long positions should be held off until the price forms a new structure and we can identify clear long and short triggers.

▪️ Since the beginning of February, Chainlink's revenue experienced a sharp decline followed by a notable recovery, rising from -0.015 to 0.06 Ethereum. Meanwhile, staking activity in 2025 has remained relatively stable at approximately 279,000 Ethereum, showing no significant fluctuations. Additionally, the increase in network fees highlights growing user engagement and heightened activity within the ecosystem.
🔹On-Chain Analysis of LINK
▪️ In the $18.48 to $19 price range, a significant number of LINK tokens are in loss, which could act as a resistance level. However, there is currently no substantial volume of coins in profit to establish strong on-chain support.
▪️ On a positive note, network activity is showing signs of recovery, with a rise in active and new addresses, reflecting increased user engagement. Additionally, 48% of LINK tokens are held by whales, a considerably higher percentage compared to other cryptocurrencies. This distribution makes price manipulation by whales more difficult, contributing to market stability.
▪️ From a supply and demand perspective, the recent price drop has led to increased demand from whales (addresses holding 10M–100M LINK), while retail investors have been selling. This redistribution of tokens from smaller holders to large investors could be interpreted as a bullish signal for the medium term.
✅ Now that we have reviewed the project, let's move on to the technical analysis of this coin
📅 Weekly Timeframe
As observed, after the conclusion of the 2021 bull run, LINK entered a correction phase and dropped to a low of $5.85. Upon reaching this level, it formed a very clean Accumulation Zone with a floor at $5.85 and a ceiling at $9.77.
🔍 After oscillating within this zone for about a year, LINK finally broke out towards the end of 2023, coinciding with Bitcoin’s new all-time high near $70,000. This upward move was robust, but following Bitcoin’s correction to a low of $54,000, LINK also pulled back deeply to $9.77, where it stabilized.
📊 The volume has been in favor of the buyers, and as the upward trend concluded and a corrective leg began, the volume decreased significantly. Once the volume reached its lowest, a large bullish candle entered the market, pushing the price up to a high of $30.16.
⚡️ Currently, as Bitcoin ranges and corrects, LINK is also undergoing a correction. The RSI oscillator shows that LINK has dipped below the 50 area, but as long as it remains above 42.88, I still view LINK’s momentum as bullish.
🛒 For buying opportunities, risky purchases could be considered upon confirming a break of $30.16 or a more substantial breakout at the ATH of $51.30. However, if the price heads back towards $9.77 and breaks this support, it could indicate that the bullish momentum and trend have fully concluded, potentially leading to new lows.
📅 Daily Timeframe
In the daily timeframe, let’s examine the price movement in more detail. There was an Accumulation Zone between $9.77 and $12.88. After breaking $12.88 and pulling back, the next bullish leg began, pushing the price up to $29.21—a significant resistance area where the price was rejected and entered a corrective phase.
✨ In the first corrective phase, the price moved down to the 0.382 Fibonacci level and, failing to set a new high beyond $29.21, broke lower beyond the 0.382 area. It is now at the 0.5 Fibonacci level.
🧩 Essentially, a price range box has been formed between the 0.5 and 0.382 Fibonacci levels. A break below this range could lead to further corrections, with the 0.618 Fibonacci level and the crucial $12.88 level as subsequent targets. If the price reaches $12.88, it would fully correct the entire bullish leg, signaling the end of the uptrend.
🔽 The critical trigger for entering a strong bearish momentum in this position would be a break below 34.49 in the RSI. If both this support and the 0.5 Fibonacci support are broken, it could lead to significant market panic.
👀 Conversely, if the price can rise above the 0.382 Fibonacci level and start a new bullish leg, breaking $29.21 could provide an excellent opportunity for a long position, even in spot markets.

TradeCityPro | Deep Search: In-Depth Of PENDLE👋 Welcome to TradeCityPro!
In this analysis, I want to fully analyze and review the Pendle project for you. First, we will read about the project's fundamentals and then perform a technical analysis.
◽️What is Pendle?
▪️Pendle is a decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol that enables the tokenization and trading of future yield. It introduces an innovative financial infrastructure that allows users to separate and trade the ownership of principal assets and their yield independently. This enables users to execute advanced yield strategies and provides more flexibility in managing yield-bearing assets.
🗝Key Components of Pendle
1. Yield Tokenization:
Pendle allows users to wrap yield-bearing tokens into SY (Standardized Yield Tokens), making them compatible with Pendle's AMM.
◽️These SY tokens are then split into two components:
▪️PT (Principal Token): Represents the principal value of the asset.
▪️YT (Yield Token): Represents the future yield generated by the asset.
This process allows for the separation of principal and yield, enabling users to trade them separately.
2. Pendle AMM (Automated Market Maker)
▪️Pendle's unique AMM is designed to support assets that experience time decay, allowing for efficient trading of PTs and YTs. Users do not need to fully understand the AMM mechanism to trade on Pendle.
3. vePENDLE Governance Model
▪️Pendle incorporates a vePENDLE model (vote-escrowed PENDLE), which enables users to participate in governance, directing incentives within the ecosystem and optimizing their yield strategies.
◽️Use Cases of Pendle
▪️Pendle's protocol enables a variety of financial strategies, including:
1) Fixed Yield Investments: Users can lock in fixed returns by selling their YT and holding PT.
2) Long Yield Positions: Users can buy YT, speculating that yields will increase.
3) Enhanced Yield Without Additional Risk: Providing liquidity in Pendle's pools can generate additional yield.
4) DeFi Yield Optimization: Combining different strategies to maximize yield opportunities.

◽️Pendle TVL Analysis
▪️The Total Value Locked (TVL) in Pendle has shown significant growth over time, with notable fluctuations. Throughout 2024 and early 2025, the TVL followed an uptrend, peaking around mid-2024, experiencing a dip, and then recovering to new highs in early 2025.
📈 Current TVL & Percentage Change
▪️TVL on September 27, 2024: 801.26K ETH
▪️TVL on February 16, 2025: 1.91M ETH
◽️Pendle's TVL has more than doubled (+138.4%) in the last 5 months. after a temporary decline in late 2024, the platform has experienced a sharp rebound, reaching a new peak in early 2025. The TVL surge indicates higher participation and liquidity influx into Pendle, possibly driven by increased staking, new integrations, or higher user engagement in yield strategies.The TVL surge indicates higher participation and liquidity influx into Pendle, possibly driven by increased staking, new integrations, or higher user engagement in yield strategies.
◽️Analysis of On-Chain Data for Pendle
▪️The volume of Pendle tokens currently held at a loss within the price range of $3.61 to $3.71 is approximately 100 million PENDLE, indicating a significant resistance level. In contrast, the volume of tokens in profit is relatively low, suggesting that resistance is stronger than support at this stage.
▪️The volume of large transactions has exhibited a slight increase alongside price growth, signaling increased market activity. Additionally, network activity, including the number of active and new addresses, has also seen a minor uptick.
▪️Currently, 69% of all PENDLE tokens are held by whales, meaning that their movements have a substantial impact on market trends.
▪️Examining the wallet activity of large holders, we observe positive inflows, which is a bullish signal. However, network whales (addresses holding between 1 million and 100 million PENDLE) have started selling as prices increased, indicating some profit-taking behavior.
▪️Meanwhile, addresses holding less than 1 million PENDLE have increased their buying activity, contributing to sustained price growth. This suggests that retail investors and smaller holders are absorbing the supply offloaded by larger holders, helping to maintain upward momentum.
✅ Now that we have reviewed the project, let's move on to the technical analysis of this coin, which will be done in weekly, daily, and four-hour timeframes.
📅 Weekly Timeframe
In the weekly timeframe, we are observing an ascending trend that started from a base of $0.561 and continued up to a peak of $6.720, providing very good profits to its holders.
🔍 After the price reached this resistance, a ranging box formed between $2.385 and $6.720, where the bottom of the box coincides with the 0.382 Fibonacci area. This support has so far managed to support the price several times, each time sending the price back towards the top of the box.
✨ Currently, the price has hit this support with a very high volume and has formed a good supportive candle. Now we have to see if this support can again push the price upwards or if it will be broken. The RSI is also below 50, and if it sets lower highs and lows, it could continue its downward trend, bringing bearish momentum into the market.
🚀 On the other hand, if it can come back above this area 50 and stabilize, we can hope that the price will move upwards and bullish momentum will enter the market. If we want to use the Fibonacci tool for the target of this project for this move, you can see that the 1 Fibonacci area is at $31.90, which is almost 10 times more than the current market price.
📊 This means that Pendle would reach a market cap of $5 billion, making it a very successful project and placing it among the top 30 coins in the coin market cap. So if you think this project can be among the first 30 coins and have a $5 billion market cap, you can continue to hold until this target is reached.
💥 However, if the support at $2.385 breaks, the next important support areas are at the 0.618 and 0 Fibonacci levels, which overlap with $1.412 and $0.941, respectively.
📅 Daily Timeframe
In the daily timeframe, you can see the price range box with more details. As you see, in the last downward leg, the price reached $2.589 and was supported by a good candle from this area, and currently, it has reached $3.678, which is an important daily resistance. If the price can stabilize above this area, we can expect the price to move towards the top of the box again.
📈 But consider that during this upward movement that the price has had from $2.589, the volume has been decreasing, which indicates the weakness of the trend. Also, for a long position, the RSI has an important area at 52.16, which is a very important resistance, and if the break of this area overlaps with the break of $3.678, we can have a confirmation of the entry of momentum and a good position.
⚡️ the important thing is that buying volume must also enter the market, and the candle that breaks this resistance must be with good buying volume. For a short position, the situation is very clear; the support at $2.589 is a very good area, and if it overlaps with the break of 30 in the RSI, it turns into a very good trigger, and I suggest that you do not miss this position if the conditions are met.
⏳ 4-Hour Timeframe
In the four-hour timeframe, we can specify the futures trading triggers so that we can also perform futures trading with them.
🔼 For a long position, our situation is very clear. As you see in the daily timeframe, there is a very good ceiling above the price, which in the four-hour timeframe is at $3.763, and if this area breaks, we can open a risky long position. The main long position is if the break of $4.364 happens.
📉 But keep in mind that as I mentioned, the decreasing volume and the divergence with the upward trend can indicate the weakness of the upward trend. So, as a result, if the ascending trendline breaks and the trigger at $3.319 is activated, I personally try to have a short position on PENDLE.
🧩 Because the volume has a divergence with the upward trend, and if the selling volume increases after the break of this area and downward momentum enters, the price can move at least to the area of $2.2748, which is actually a very important support and will be the main trigger for short. The break of 45.48 in the RSI gives us a very good confirmation for the short position.
