CRYPTO TOTAL DEFI MARKET CAP BOUNCE OFF 200MA WEEKLY Hello, dear HODLers, especially DEFI HODLers!
This is **TOTALDEFI CRYPTOCAP** on the weekly timeframe. The 200MA has acted as support for 18 weeks, and this week has pushed the level to a new high compared to the last 18 weeks. If the current week closes at this level and confirms a new high, we may see new resistance levels being tested—but more on that when the time comes.
I strongly believe in DEFI, so my bias is very bullish. That said, I strive to provide unbiased information, so I recommend taking my analysis on this with a pinch of salt.
Tomorrow’s weekly close will bring more updates.
Stay safe and humble, and enjoy the weekend!
DEFI
Is Trump’s Presidency a Bigger Win for DeFi than Bitcoin? Were decentralized finance (DeFi) assets like Ethereum underestimated leading up to the election?
Ethereum is now outpacing Bitcoin following Donald Trump’s 2024 U.S. presidential win, with Ether (ETH) gaining 4% in the past 24 hours (and 14.1% in the past 5 days). Bitcoin on the other hand is down 0.4% in the past 24 hours)
Analysts suggest that the Republican administration’s expected support for DeFi will play a pivotal role in Ethereum’s growth.
Trump has signaled interest in policies that could nurture blockchain technology, encouraging legislative reform to promote DeFi innovation in the U.S.
Bitcoin may hold its status as a store of wealth (and even a potential alternative reserve for the US treasury), but Ethereum’s recent performance suggests it’s increasingly well-positioned to benefit from the changing policy environment.
Is the LINKBTC chart projecting more #DEFI & #ALTCOIN pain?Since topping out nearly 4 years ago
the #LINK versus #BTC ratio has been down and to the right, with relief rallies being sold into.
Clear trend of lower high's and lower low's.
The trend has not been friendly to the Link Marines!
Are we repeating the tale of #XRP and their faithful army?
Both get dumped on by the their respective foundation or founding company.
Both claim Banks will use their products / software ...
Link does have #CCIP usage but it is not the only #interoperability solution.
We already have #RWA on the blockchain.. they are called #stablecoins.
Either this ratio is in danger of breaking down.
Which maybe signalling a broader #Altcoin market demand destroying period....
Could #geopolitical tensions explode this summer to cause a massive #RISKOFF event and the #Dollar to spike?
AAVE getting the Trump pumpThe past 2 years
Anyone who's been following me for a while knows I have been and continue to be quite bullish on AAVE. My first large buy this cycle having been around $55 in 2022, with additional buys on the way up at $70 and $100. COINBASE:AAVEUSD has been carving out higher highs and higher lows for the good part of 2 years now. Then in July we got a nice bullish engulfing hammer setup off the $90 support level. That set the tone for continued bullishness and set up the next leg that has brought us to where we are at today, currently at $170.
Funnymentals
I am not a fundamentals guy but I think there's some points here that shouldn't be ignored if you're planning on holding this for longer than a short term trade. Aave has proven itself as the best, the largest, and the most trusted DeFi borrowing/lending platform around. As we've often seen with other tech leaders (e.g. Amazon, Google, etc), Aave which was already the largest platform by TVL and market share has only gotten larger and taken even more market share. This isn't by accident. Aave has an absolute superstar team that continues to deliver year after year, rain or shine, bull or bear. I don't see this changing anytime soon.
The Trump partnership
I'm using the term "partnership" very loosely since Aave is a money lego that anyone can build on, but it's important to note that this is the protocol the Trump team decided to build their front-end on. In addition to that, their respective communities are working together on token allocations, which is as close to a partnership as you'll find in the DeFi space.
The Trump pump
With pro-crypto candidates winning across U.S. on election night and Trump, the most pro crypto presidential candidate we've ever had, winning the presidency, this has set up a major tailwind for the crypto space and put a spotlight on Aave. It remains to be seen just how big of an impact this has in the long term, but I know I'm not going to fade it.
TA
Back to the chart technicals, as I said at the start of the post, AAVE has a nice long term bullish chart structure. The way I've been trading this is by having a core position based on the long term setup, and then trading around that core position anytime shorter term setups to present themselves. I've kept this trade simple by going from key level to key level and knowing where my invalidation levels are. The most recent being the $120 major support area. My 1st big price target which I've had marked for the last few years now, sits around around $450. That can change as we get new price action setups, but these are the parameters I'm trading with right now. In the meantime I'll continue watching the short and medium term for new setups to trade around my core position.
Is AAVE the next big DeFi token in crypto?The Aave token pumped 44% over the past 4 weeks, with its price climbing from $94 to $134 This impressive increase outpaced the performance of other leading cryptocurrencies by market value, such as Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Its 100% up since our first analysis and Im sure you add couple of Lambos to your Car collection so lets where we going now
Recently we stumbled upon an intriguing chart showing AAVE’s price compared to ETH
We tried our best, but we couldn’t ignore it! Something big is brewing… and it seems like the market is yet to catch on.This surge isn't the result of a few people buying in here and there it takes significant buying pressure to outperform ETH this dramatically.
Not only that, but Aave’s revenue is on the rise.
We're loving this uptrend in quarterly revenue also we've heard about new proposals for updated tokenomics and activating the fee switch yet another reason this setup is impossible to ignore!
But hold on sometimes short term hype or incentives inflate revenue. Is that the case with Aave, or is it a genuinely solid investment opportunity?
That’s the focus of our analysis, along with other key questions like:
Is Aave still the market leader in the lending and borrowing sector?
What are the key support and resistance levels to watch for?
Is the revenue growth driven by incentives?
Can Aave compete with Goldman Sachs?
Where are Aave's 1M users coming from?
wait a sec, Im new to crypto WHAT IS AAVE? ok! lemme explain
Aave, a respected pioneer in DeFi, first launched as ETHLend in 2017.
In 2020, it rebranded to Aave and has been on quite a journey since (that's what we are exploring today)—a remarkable one at that. Aave is a decentralized lending platform that connects lenders and borrowers, functioning similarly to a bank.
Users can deposit their money to earn yield, while others can borrow funds. To borrow, users must deposit collateral that exceeds their debt, ensuring repayment.Aave keeps the difference between the interest paid by borrowers (higher) and the interest paid to lenders (lower).
But unlike traditional banks, Aave relies on smart contracts to handle everything—no need for grumpy loan managers asking why 100% of your net worth is in crypto. People and degens love the permissionless, 24/7 access Aave offers for lending and borrowing. No KYC, no approvals, no waiting. It’s a massive improvement over traditional banking!
So let's tap into Aave's potential
Over the years, Aave has attracted substantial liquidity, further cementing its place in the DeFi space. Just take a look at the TVL, which shows the amount of money currently deposited in the protocol.
Aave currently holds around $12.3 billion in Total Value Locked aka TVL, which may seem small compared to major US banks like JPMorgan ($2.2 trillion) or Goldman Sachs ($363 billion).
But this ain’t a bug, it’s a feature! One that highlights the enormous market Aave could tap into but how can a crypto protocol look to compete against global financial giants like JP Morgan and Goldman Sachs? In a single word: efficiency
Aave has 30 times less TVL than Goldman Sachs, but it also has 750 times fewer employees. Just take a look at the number of employees needed per $1 billion in TVL:
Aave: 5 employees
JPMorgan: 115 employees
Goldman Sachs: 123 employees (Did you check thier new logo! its more of a Goldman Sucks)
See the difference in efficiency?
We certainly do, and that's why we believe Aave could eventually disrupt these giants.
Now, let’s dive into how Aave’s business works.
AAVE BUSINESS MODEL
Aave's business model is relatively straightforward: They offer yield to lenders, charge borrowers a higher interest rate, and the difference generates the protocol's revenue—essentially the same way banks make money.
Currently, you can lend CRYPTOCAP:USDC on Aave for 5.8% and borrow it for 7.6%. These percentages vary based on usage. if a bunch of CRYPTOCAP:USDC is borrowed and there's not much left in reserve, the yield and interest rates will increase to attract new depositors, while discouraging additional borrowing and vice versa
whales accumulating again ?
On chain data reveals that AAVE's Open Interest and daily active addresses are on the rise, indicating a sustained bullish trend. AAVE's OI grew from $107 million on Monday to $191 million by Thursday, marking the highest OI level since the beginning of the year and currently, AAVE’s open interest is at $175 million
Investor interest in the Aave token gained momentum in late July, spurred by a proposal from Aave-Chan Initiative founder Marc Zeller to allocate a portion of the platform’s net earnings to key participants in the ecosystem and to adjust fees for repurchasing AAVE from the secondary market. Another catalyst for the AAVE rally was the ‘Umbrella’ Initiative, which proposed shifting from a 'seize and sell' liquidation mechanism to a 'seize and burn' model.
the Umbrella project is designed to ease market pressure from selling AAVE while managing risky loans. The initiative aims to use a variety of assets to settle outstanding debts during liquidations, especially when the collateral is insufficient, rather than relying solely on AAVE.
next targets for Aave is 149 , 160 and 170$
Are you bullish on Aave?
UNI | UNISWAP Are we in DeFi Summer?
The price of Uniswap is $6.4 today with a 24hour trading volume of 158 million dollar. This represents a 5% price increase in the last 24 hours and a 28% price increase in the past 30 days
but what is UNI and what is UNI SWAP?
UNI is the governance token for Uniswap. UNI was introduced on 16th September 2020 through a retrospective airdrop to users who have interacted with the protocol either by swapping tokens or by providing liquidity.the UNI token allows token holders to participate in the governance of the protocol. Key decisions such as usage of the treasury or future upgrades can be decided through a governance vote.
Uniswap is a decentralized exchange that makes it easy for users to swap an ERC20 token for another ERC20 token without the need of a centralized intermediary. With a DEX, traders do not have to deposit their tokens on an exchange and be exposed to the security risks of a centralized exchange.
UNI's relative strength index of 63 shows bullish momentum is gathering steam but not yet overheated. The moving averages are aligned for more gains as well, with UNI trading above its 10day, 50day and 200day simple moving averages. Overall, the technical posture looks strong
next targets are 6.5, 6.7 and "6.9" $

DreamAnalysis | REN Futures Key Triggers and Levels✨ Welcome to today’s analysis! Today, I’ll be reviewing REN and identifying crucial futures trading triggers for this coin. We’ll start with the daily timeframe and then move to the 4-hour timeframe for more detailed insights.
📅 Daily Timeframe Analysis
In the daily timeframe, REN has been in a prolonged downtrend since hitting resistance at $0.11457, a decline that has continued for almost 200 days. Currently, the price is at the $0.03268 support, which is the most critical level for this coin. Although this support is robust, repeated encounters with this level have gradually weakened it, having already been tested four times in this cycle.
🔽 If this support fails, the price may move to the next support level at $0.02839. This is the last major support, and a loss here would likely lead to sharp, deep drops on the chart.
🔼 If the price rebounds from support, the first long trigger will be a break above the trendline and $0.03924, followed by a second trigger at $0.04436. Both are risky triggers, so I rely on volume and RSI confirmation before entering positions. (While volume and RSI are essential in all trades, they are even more critical in higher-risk positions.)
📊 Currently, volume is stagnating, showing no clear momentum. If $0.03268 breaks, high selling volume will confirm the breakout; otherwise, it could likely be a false break. For a long position, a strong increase in buying volume is necessary to change the trend.
📈 The primary long trigger is a break above $0.05437, a significant support level for this coin, which can also serve as a spot buy trigger. An RSI break above 58.61 would indicate a bullish momentum. Spot targets include resistance levels at $0.08088 and $0.11457.
⏳ 4-Hour Timeframe Analysis
In this timeframe, we can refine the $0.03268 support to $0.03385, where a breakdown has already occurred, followed by a potential pullback. If the pullback confirms and the price sets a lower high, the support breakdown will be valid, setting $0.02839 as the next target.
📉 One noteworthy detail in this downtrend is that volume is decreasing; however, as today is Saturday, reduced volume is typical across markets, so it’s not necessarily a sign of weakness. Additionally, RSI is near the 30 mark, and a break below could introduce bearish momentum, pushing the price toward the next target if the pullback confirms.
📈 However, if this breakdown proves false and the price reenters the $0.03385 to $0.03963 box, it indicates that buyers have stepped in, pushing the price back up despite the support break. In that case, we can anticipate a bullish move, and a break above the $0.03963 resistance could be a long trigger. A riskier long trigger would be a break above the 50 line in RSI, along with a higher high in Dow Theory. All of these triggers will only be valid if the price reverses the downtrend and reenters the box.

Gala/USD weekly 50-100 sma cross bullish signalThe 50-100 cross is currently occuring for gala on the weekly timeframe. This is very bullish for the token because of the timeframe. RSI is nuetral around 47. Cross occured during downtrend and that downtrend in now clearly broken. A weekly close above the rising support will confirm this. Target is between 1.618 and 1.382 of previous high swing low.
Not financial advice. Do your own DD.
Thanks for viewing the idea.

Fantom / FTM analysisFtm pumped almost 300% since Andre Cronje back as vice president of memes at the fantom foundation!
FTM has been one of the best performing tokens of 2023, pulling off a series of impressive gains in the last few weeks the price of Fantom is $0.54 today with a 24hour trading volume of 650 million dollar. This represents a 15% price increase in the last 24 hours and a 170% price increase in the past 30 days.
Blockchain platform Fantom plans to introduce version 2 of its fusd stablecoin to provide a more predictable and budget-friendly system for builders, partners and users, developers said in a post over the weekend. They didn't give a timeline for the release.the new version will allow the stakeholders to allocate fees in either fantom or fUSD and to predict future costs based on usage, the developers said. It will allow programmers to build additional institutional products for users and provide a more consistent system for planning and budgeting for grants. while ftm has been on an upward trend since the first week of the year, its price rally in the last week can be attributed to Fantom’s recent integration with the Axelar Network.on Jan. 24, the Fantom Foundation announced a partnership with Axelar, which will introduce interchain communication to the Fantom Network.
since we published our first ftm chart and hit all targets (100% gain) its time to look at the chart again and set new targets. ftm successfully broke ascending triangle and broke 0.29 and 0.31 resistance as well. next targets for ftm is 0.65, 0.75 and 0.8$
what do you think about ftm price ? bullish , bearish or apish!?

The months of November into Spring post halving is essentially the Banana zone.
Let's make the most of it ...
you should be allocated into you main core coins
and buying into strong #altcoins that are capturing the zeitgeist.
I believe #Solana is likely to outperform on their respective ratio
#Pulsechain may surprise people once #ETH closes in on the $4,000 mark
And #TitanX ecosystem to continue to flourish in a #DEFI resurgence. (TitanX is the best example of DEFI i have seen so far.)
VC coins may likely continue their relative underperformance as the collective crowd shuns the poor deals offered to us.

Targets:
0.50 USDT – First target, take partial profits here.
0.80 USDT – Second target, take more profits.
1.40 USDT – Final target, exit the remaining position.
A stop-loss should be placed below the recent low to manage risk effectively.
Moonwell Enters Price Discovery! 600% within 1 week?Don't be fooled by this recent pullback. The KUCOIN:WELLUSDT / COINBASE:WELLUSD (Base's Moonnwell lending protocol) is set-up for an incredibly bullish run!
• Price is at the upper bollinger bands . When a strong uptrend starts, the price tends to "ride the upper bollinger band" for weeks, if not months.
• Golden cross on the daily chart + On Balance Volume confirms healthy uptrend.
• Moonwell is a Circle (stable coin issuer) partner and core #DeFi infrastructure of the Base Layer 2, along with #Aerodrome.
• When Aerodrome entered price discovery mode earlier this year, it did a 31x (yes, over 3100% surge). SPARKS:AERO 's first major leg started on a Monday – and price did a 7x within just five days! (Before moving much, much higher).
If you are not in Moonwell, now is your chance to enter before price discovery mode.
Altcoin Market Signaling Potential Bullish Run to $1 TrillionTotal Alt Coins Market Cap analysis update
After a significant upward movement in the market cap, consolidation within a descending channel or flag suggests a period of profit-taking and market indecision, though the overall structure remains bullish. The market is approaching the upper resistance of the flag, signaling the potential for a breakout. Once the breakout is confirmed, a bullish move can be expected. Based on historical price action and technical patterns, the next major target post-breakout could be around $1 trillion before end of 2024.
Fantom (FTM) and Andre CronjeFTM's social and market activity is on the rise after Andre Cronje released an article highlighting the cash flow of FantomFDN in 2022
Fantom price today is $0.241135 with a 24 hour trading volume of 230 million dollar. FTM price is up 12% in the last 24 hours
Andre Cronje, a long serving figure in the DeFi space, says the Fantom blockchain project he advises is cash-flow positive, earning more than $10 million in annual revenue
Cronje shared a blog post on Monday that claims the Fantom team maintains more than $300 million in assets without specifying how much is considered liquid. “We are still scaling up,” Cronje said
Fantom’s reported treasury, as yet unproven on-chain, is made up of around 450 million FTM ($85.7 million). There’s also $100 million in stablecoins and $100 million in undisclosed cryptocurrencies, as well as $50 million in non crypto assets, per Cronje’s post.Fantom is a layer1 blockchain compatible with Ethereum Virtual Machine. The network competes with the likes of Solana, Avalanche and Polygon for Ethereum’s market dominance. but lets talk about the technical analysis
the blue line shows the important resistance (0.29$) for Ftm and if bulls breaking it, the next targets will be 0.31 - 0.4 and
if you managed to long at 0.17 its time to take some profit as well
Hatom (HTM) - Promising small-cap crypto for yield in DeFiHatom (HTM) shows notable strength in the daily chart after breaking out from the 30-day exponential moving average (1D 30EMA) on August 19. What acted as a strong resistance from March to August (testing twice in the meantime) can now become strong price support moving forward - currently at ~$0.89 (the 30EMA).
The daily RSI also displays a strong uptrending momentum, at 62.77 by post time.
Fundamentally speaking, Hatom Protocol is one of the most solid and promising DeFi protocols I have found and experienced using in crypto. Hatom Labs, the core developer, is setting solid new standards by the way they do business (multiple tests, plenty of security audits, no rush to launch or make announcements, not trying to induce FOMO with marketing gimmicks, etc.)
They have recently made the 9th protocol update after one year of launch and this is another aspect I like about the project: Hatom Lab's communication strategy - clear of noise.
They reserve their comms for relevant announcements only, as security is their north star.
The recent announcement (which can be found on X @HatomProtocol) revealed some really exciting features ahead for yield farming/generation through liquidity, lending, and booster operations.
They are also launching a decentralized overcollateralized stablecoin called USH to compete with Sky's (formerly MakerDAO) DAI. Which, in my opinion, is very much needed and appreciated. We need more of these solid decentralized stablecoins around.
I'm invested in HTM for the mid- to long-term, but I also think that, right now, the token offers a good long opportunity, so I'm also longing it for the short-term, eyeing the ATH at a first target.
It's important to note that Hatom is a small-cap crypto, so beware of all the risks that come with this kind of asset.
It runs on the MultiversX (EGLD) chain, but are also planning to expand to other chains.
Can buy via the xExchange DEX and long on AshPerp.
DreamAnalysis | ARKM Analysis: Key Levels and Trading Triggers✨ Welcome to today’s analysis! I’m going to analyze ARKM (Arkham), one of the most well-known projects in the crypto space, and identify key triggers for spot trading. ARKM is a DeFi project that gathers wallet data and offers it on its platform, making it one of the most useful tools in the DeFi ecosystem. Let’s dive into the technical analysis of this coin on the daily timeframe.
📅 Daily Timeframe Analysis
On the daily chart, ARKM hit its all-time high (ATH) at $3.914 before entering a distribution phase. After breaking below the SMA99, the support at $1.317 was lost, leading to a decline to $0.914. For a while, the price ranged between $0.914 and $1.317, and the candle volumes gradually decreased until buying volume picked up in the market. This resulted in strong green candles that broke through $1.317 and the SMA99, followed by a pullback, pushing the price towards the resistance zone at $1.818. Currently, the price is consolidating below this resistance level.
📊 The previous candle showed a strong bearish movement with significant volume, suggesting the potential for downward momentum to enter the market. Coupled with a bearish divergence in RSI, a break below the 50 level on RSI would confirm the divergence, and we could expect a correction down to the $1.317 support zone. If this support breaks, the next key level would be $1.082, which is significantly lower than the current price. If the price reaches this level, bullish momentum will likely vanish, and the market could form a new trend.
🔽 On the upside, the price has touched a curved trendline three times, reinforcing the importance of this trend. If a correction occurs, the trendline may act as support for the fourth time, potentially halting the price drop. However, if the $1.317 and $1.082 supports break, the last major defense will be at $0.914. Below this, there are no significant support levels until $0.738.
📈 Bullish Scenario and Key Resistance Levels
If the price breaks above the $1.818 resistance and starts a new bullish wave, there are several important targets to consider for profit-taking. The first target would be $2.229, though this is not a strong resistance zone as the price has interacted with it less frequently than with the main resistances. If bullish momentum is strong, the price could quickly move toward the next target at $2.769. This resistance is even stronger than ARKM’s previous ATH, making it the most crucial level to watch. Should the price break through $2.769, it could easily reach its ATH of $3.914 or even set a new high.
📉 Stop-loss and Entry Triggers
If you are already holding ARKM, I recommend placing your stop-loss around the $1.317 or $0.914 zones to protect your position. For those looking to enter the market, here are several key triggers:
🔼 Break above $1.818: If this level is broken, the price could move up toward $2.769.
Buy on pullback to $1.317: If a correction occurs, watch for a bullish reaction at this zone.
Break above $2.769: This would be the final trigger for significant upside movement, with more triggers possibly emerging from future candles.
By monitoring these levels and triggers, you can capitalize on ARKM’s next moves in the spot market.

Is Uni(swap/chain/stake/lend/yield) going to rip faces off?!?Uniswap is already one of if not the leading application within defi. That is just as a dex. I believe that dexs have the most flexibility when it comes to crypto as it has the holy trinity of high users, volume and liquidity. Helpful for financial market application.
If Unichain is a successful launch then Uni could become the centralising app within decentralised finance. This would be great for crypto and defi as provides deep liquidity and ease of use.
Not to say theres no competition. This is an emerging field and who knows wholl be the yahoo or big blue let alone the google. Have to keep up to date the changing metrics but at this stage uni is still looking a leader.

Solana Approaching Critical Support: Bullish Reversal or DeclineSolana has shown impressive resilience in the crypto market, benefiting from its high scalability and rapid transaction speeds. Now, the price is testing key support levels, which could define the next directional move.
Upside Potential: A bounce from the support around $143.04 could drive SOL higher toward $154.20. A break above this resistance could confirm a strong upward momentum, allowing SOL to push toward the $160 range.
Downside Risk: If SOL fails to hold the current support, a decline toward $138.53 and potentially $135.48 is possible, signaling more downside pressure in the near term.
This is a critical zone for SOL, with both bulls and bears closely monitoring price action for confirmation of the next move.
Happy Trading
