ETH - USDT, 1D Interval Resistance and Support Hello everyone, I invite you to review the ETH to USDT chart on a one-day interval. First, we will mark the downtrend channel that the price has left the top. However, locally, we can determine the downtrend under which the price is moving.
Now we can move on to marking support and in this situation we have first support at $1539, second support at $1449, third support at $1380, if the price goes lower we have a strong support zone from $1309 to $1204.
Looking the other way, we can similarly mark the places of resistance that the ETH price has to face, as we see the first resistance at $ 1669 at the so-called golden point fib 0.618, then we have strong resistance at $ 1825 and the third resistance at $ 2032.
It is worth looking at the EMA Cross 10 and 30, because we can see that the 10 marked with the red line on the chart starts to bend, when it crosses the 30 marked with the green line on the chart, it can give confirmation of entering a longer downtrend.
The CHOP index indicates that we have a lot of energy for a new move, MACD indicates entering a downtrend, while the RSI is moving in a downtrend.

BTC/USDT Revive 1D IntervalHello everyone, I invite you to check the current situation on BTC in pair to USDT, taking into account the one-day interval. As we can see, the price has broken the downtrend lines and has gone up.
Let's start by identifying where we should see price support, and here we see that the first support is at $21,991, the second support is at $20,750, the third support is at $19,739, and the fourth support is at $18,728. below we have a strong support zone from $17,313 to $15,494.
Looking the other way, we can immediately see that the price is struggling to maintain a very strong resistance at $23147 equal to 0.786 FIB, the next resistance is at $25226, only when the price breaks out and tests it positively will it be able to go towards $30000.
Please look at the CHOP index, which indicates that on a one-day interval we are gathering more and more energy for a new move, MACD after recent increases begins to indicate entering a downward trend, while the RSI also shows a downward trend and recovery.
USD/JPY:Trading participants appear hesitant to make big bearishTrading in USD/JPY is restricted to a small range as investors eagerly anticipate the FOMC decision.
Throughout the early portion of Wednesday's European session, the USD/JPY pair struggles to generate any noticeable momentum and swings between tepid gains and modest losses. As traders look hesitant and anxiously await the results of a two-day FOMC monetary policy meeting, spot prices linger below the mid-130.00s. On Monday, the USD/JPY pair experiences some intraday selling at the 130.30 region and declines by more than 100 pip from the day's peak. However, spot prices are still firmly inside a trading range that dates back a week and have now appeared to have stabilized above the mid-129.00s during the early European session.
Fresh concern that high inflation may prompt a more hawkish posture from the Bank of Japan later this year is continuing to bolster the Japanese Yen (JPY). In addition, a generally negative outlook for the equities markets supports the safe-haven JPY. The USD/JPY pair has some downward pressure as a result, which adds to the overall adverse sentiment around the US Dollar and the intraday decline.
In fact, as expectations for a less aggressive Fed policy tightening increase, the USD Index, which measures the value of the dollar against a basket of currencies, is currently hovering close to a multi-month low.
The markets appear to be confident that the US central bank would moderate its aggressive approach and announce a lower 25 bps rate hike on Wednesday at the conclusion of a two-day meeting. This impacts on the USD and keeps US Treasury bond yields low.
Trading participants appear hesitant to make big bearish wagers on the USD/JPY pair as the significant central bank event risk approaches. In addition, remarks made by BoJ Governor Kuroda Haruhiko, who stated that the bank must maintain its loose monetary policy and 2% inflation objective, limit the JPY's upward potential. This calls for more care before positioning for any appreciable significant fall, at least initially.
DOT / USDT 1D CHART - Resistance and SupportHello everyone, I invite you to review the DOT chart in pair to USDT on a one-day timeframe. Let's start by marking the downtrend line, which the price has broken above, and we are currently moving above the uptrend line.
Let's move on to denoting the resistances that the price must overcome, and here we see that the first resistance is at $7.14, the second resistance is at $8.06, the third is at $8.96 and the fourth is at $10.24.
Looking the other way, we can similarly determine the places of support. And here we have the first support at $6.23, the second at $5.85, then we can mark the support zone from $5.55 to $5.20, and the second support zone from $4.78 to $4.20.
As we can see, the EMA Cross 10 and 30 indicate an uptrend, the CHOP index indicates entering a local downtrend, while the RSI shows a rebound and a downtrend.
GJ - WEEKLY PROJECTIONSimilar to my previous post on the Monthly.
These are my HTF projections So obviously, there's not much detail on them but I am a swing trader and I like to project from the monthly downwards as there is a lot that is missed if you don't analyze from the monthly down in my opinion.
I have deleted the monthly fib because it clutters my chart but keeping this in mind you can see its reacted at the monthly fib and now, we are currently sitting at the weekly/daily fib to go bullish. Also - If anyone has ever told you that a 'head and shoulders pattern' is great for determining reversals, make sure you go get a lobotomy and forget it ASAP because they are one of the biggest Liquidity Raids/Price Manipulation setups you will ever find and rarely ever play out like your courses tell you.
Just like AJ - It looks too pretty and too perfect to continue as a 'Head and shoulders' into a downtrend. I would be very surprised if it did, and the only way I could ever see it doing that is if it has a massive liquidity raid and manipulates everyone out of the market before reversing and becoming bearish.
But - I never say never because anything is possible, and you have to always keep an open mind otherwise you will never make money in these markets.
At the moment - its looking like GJ is accumulating sellers because most sellers are taught to sell when they see a 'Head and shoulders'. I'm thinking it will temporarily trend bearish into the lower fib to remove liquidity first before it reverses to continue bullish after removing all buyers.
Don't forget that the weekly/monthly Fib has not been touched yet so I'm waiting for price to trend bullish to fulfill it. From there we have a few options but i will assess and adjust as the week goes on. It may trend bullish, hit the Fib and retrace to remove more liquidity and then either tank or continue bullish removing all sellers and also fill that imbalance to the left. Thats what i would like to see but it's way too early to tell.

Daily review of BTC interval 1DHello everyone, I invite you to update the situation of BTC on a one-day interval. As we can see, the market woke up and the price went above the downtrend line.
We could see the formation of a rounding bottom pattern, which is characterized by the effect of breaking the resistance level and increasing the price, which we can also observe.
Now it's worth checking where btc is going next. Using the Fib Retracement tool, we can check the current resistances that the price has to face. And here we can immediately see that we are at a crucial moment at the resistance level of $19190, and also at 0.618 Fib, which is called the Fib golden point. We can see that the price is testing the current resistance, which may provide some respite before further upward movement, near the resistance at $20179 and then $21486.
Once the current resistance level is pushed back and the price begins to fall, we can establish support at $18,456, then $17,882, and a strong support zone from $17,435 to $16,271.
As we can see on the CHOP index, the energy has been used for the current upward movement, the MACD confirms the upward trend, while the RSI indicator moves above the upper range, in a place where we often had a feedback reaction and price correction, but it does not mean that we will not see another upward movement .
Daily review of BTC interval 1DHello everyone, I invite you to every Monday review of top cryptocurrencies.
Let's start by checking the situation on BTC in pair to USD, taking into account the one-day interval. As we can see, the BTC price has moved above the downtrend line and is currently moving above the local uptrend line.
Before we move on to determining the support for the price, it is worth looking at the fact that we have currently formed a lower peak than the previous one, while the RSI indicator has the opposite situation. On the chart, the first peak is higher than the second, and on the RSI, the first peak is lower than the second. The formed pattern often ends with a downward price breakout.
Now we can move on to marking places where the price has support. And here we see that we have the first support at $17,272, the second support at $16,920, and the third support at $16,576.
However, when it comes to the resistances that BTC has on its way of growth, we see that the price is currently fighting with the first resistance, the next resistance will appear at the price of $ 17,577, at the so-called golden point of Fib, then the resistance is at the price of $ 17,929 and $ 18,384.
Please pay attention to EMA Cross red 10 and green 30, as we see red crosses green from below which is a pro-growth signal, however, you should keep common sense and watch if it will not be a false step as in the previous situation.
On the CHOP index, we see that most of the energy has been used, while the MACD indicates an uptrend.
BTCUSDT-1DInterval-Review Hello everyone, I invite you to review the BTC to USDT chart, on a one-day timeframe. As we can see, the price has been moving in the sideways trend channel for a long time, but currently we can mark with the yellow line, the local downtrend line with which the price is fighting.
Now let's move on to the support line and as you can see the first support that held the price at the current correction is $16583, if the support is broken then the next support is at $16078, while the third support is at $15461 which is below the lower limit of the channel, but it is also the place of the last price low.
Looking the other way, also using Fib Retracement, we will check the places where the price should subdue the resistance when the increases begin. as we can see the first resistance is at $16763, the second resistance is at $17077, the third resistance is at $17325 and the fourth resistance is at $17576.
As we can see, the entry into the local correction was preceded by the crossing of the green line moving average from above, through the red line. Looking further, we see that the volume is at low levels with a predominance of candles on the sellers side.
The CHOP index indicates that most of the energy has been used for the current correction, the MACD confirms the local downtrend, while the RSI is recovering and is currently at quite low levels, which may potentially bring the price up.
BTCUSDT Long position Possibilitywe are going to have a look at the changes in the Bitcoin market in terms of data in the network, let's check the potential in the network for price growth, take a look at the miners, measure the supply and demand situation, and finally finish with the options market.
In general, the health of the network has improved in terms of activity compared to the previous days, and the positive point that exists is that the activity of the key range has not been lost, but in general, the level of activity is still low,
and most of the activity is done by small traders, because if we go, number If we check the transactions, we can see that there has been growth, and on contrary, the volume of transactions is at a low level,
and it shows that the whales of the network do not want to be active at the moment. In the past few days, we saw the weakening of the security of the Bitcoin network.
fell, the hash rate was decreasing at a relatively high speed, but the current situation has reached its key range, now that news has been published,
if this news is definitive, it will cause many miners to be affected, and consequently, the hash rate will be affected. It has an impact and the possibility of losing this key range increases, now considering that the income of miners
is also decreasing and if the price stays in these areas, it may strengthen the risk from this category again.
Well, I also mentioned the income of the miners. In general, the income of this category through
the construction of blocks is still decreasing compared to a year ago, but it has not reached the green area where the miners are under a lot of pressure. On the other hand, the income of the miners from Through the network has risen a bit,
but it has not been able to significantly affect the total income. If we come to check the valuation of Bitcoin, we will see that it is involved in a negative bubble, according to the MBRM index, this issue will be very clear to us.
It has a significant history and it has shown that when bitcoin is involved in a negative bubble, those who see it have investments and demand that bitcoin will be profitable for them in the long term,
but I know that you know better than me that market conditions change in every period. Paying attention to this issue, for investment, we should not pay attention to one element and must consider the view of the action market.
If I go to the supply & demand layer and check the demand, we can see that the demand and the network are mainly on the side of the traders, and they are accumulating, but for those who have ten bitcoins,
this accumulation has calmed down a bit and they show me indecision. 16400 has become very attractive for traders and it is considered an important range because almost ten percent of the circulating balance is in this area,
and if we pay a little more attention, we can also see the behavior of speculators because when the price goes up, they sell at a profit. And again, when we return to these areas,
we see that the circulating assets are growing in this area, now if we check in terms of supply, in general, the level of hash and network has come down, whether in profit or loss, but during the past day, we have seen We had a series of sales, and again, the sales were at a loss,
and it happened from those whose coins were between 3 and 6 months old, who had the highest sales, and the total amount sold in this category was 22,000 bitcoins, but those who were in profit.
Now, they prefer to withdraw their own coins, instead of the old ones It has been 7 to 10 years wallet that the amount was low and their number was 590, and then it was two to three years that they took out 2000 bitcoins,
but the more important thing is the behavior of speculators.
We see that the sellers are buying in the support areas, the price goes up a bit, they sell, and until the price cannot break those areas that make a profit,
the price growth can be uncertain.
Finally, if we check the amount of Bitcoin input and output to exchanges, the input is more dominant, but I don't see very serious inputs, so in general, even though Bitcoin is located in valuable areas, the potential in the network is less than before,
if the important areas of security activity are lost. Lamb naturally affects the health of the network and that effect will be negative
In terms of supply and demand,
we can see that the demand in the network is not so high, although the width in the network is low, but the behavior of investors is more than everyone else at the moment.
Finally, we turn to the option market
, we see that the most important maturity date is December 30, the volume of open contracts is very high (approximately 2.3 billion), the most important support for us is at $15,000, then $12,000, and finally $10,000, that's right, $10,000 has much higher open interest. But in order to reach $10,000, we must first lose $15,000.
Now, considering that we mentioned that the range of 16,400 is very attractive for traders, and it has been able to work well for now.
In the end, if we examine the implied volatility together, which shows me the expectations of traders and price changes, it somehow shows the foresight of option traders. We can mention 2 things:
One is that the traders expect that we will reject this area, whether it goes up or down, on the other hand, it is a good time for those who want to work with options because the contracts have become cheaper,
and it is possible that we will see new contracts in the coming days. There will be a lot of new sentiment in this market, and if there are any changes, we will definitely update

TON: Overrated project or the FUTURE of crypto market?Hello! This is the third article in a fundamental project analysis (check the first one about Aptos and the second about Solana ). In this idea, we will analyze one of the most controversial projects of the last 2-3 months - TON. The main goal of this article is to show you the project from various perspectives, to provide all information about the project and our estimation of that information, and in conclusion we'll tell you our opinion on what to do with the project and how you can earn from it. In some way, this article will be beneficial to both experienced traders and newcomers to the market. Please leave your comments after reading it and subscribe to our other resources; we want to know what you think!
The project and its token
The Open Network successor to Telegram Open Network - native token TON successor to Gram.
What is the project?
TON is Layer one blockchain.
Working on The Open Network's (hereinafter TON) predecessor, Telegram Open Network (hereinafter Gram), began in 2018. Gram raised $1.7 billion in private sales to investors in April 2018, but fundraising did not stop there. Gram crashed as a result of the decision to hold an ICO under US jurisdiction, after which the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) recognized Gram as a security and declared all previous sales of Gram to investors to be illegal securities distributions. Litigation ensued between the SEC and Telegram, and the SEC won. Consequently, Telegram halted Gram development and began returning funds to investors who had decided to exit the project. The TON project was already well underway, with a team of developers and active users. Many of those who were excited about Gram joined the TON team.
PRODUCT PART
Key mechanics:
Proof of Stake consensus algorithm – network security is dependent on validators checking blocks and delegates trusting their tokens to validators to increase network security
Sharding – blockchain speed, scalability and higher throughput
TON Proxy – access to the TON blockchain via a decentralized VPN and TOR-like network. Increased decentralization and accessibility.
TON DNS – domain names similar to ENS on Ethereum, but TON has integrated their application thanks to Telegram support.
STRENGTHS:
TON's product strengths are not based on a technical stack; in 2022, sharding was implemented and is being implemented in blockchains. Claimed blockchain TPSs are breaking all records, and scalability is one of the key issues that all teams are working on.
TON's strengths are primarily in the user sector, where they are working to improve user experience and acceptance of TON. This is definitely a good thing, or it would be a good thing if Telegram didn't lose the trial in 2020, or it would be even better if there was no trial and the ICO took place in any other jurisdiction. TON, or Gram in that case, would already be among the top ten projects in terms of capitalization, dictating trends in the industry.
WEAKNESSES:
TON is not a self-sufficient project ; its entire success is dependent on a single narrative, Telegram integration. Without Telegram's support, TON as a project would have lagged behind the first hundred projects in terms of capitalization, and it would have been remembered as, yes, it was a solid idea, but these guys lacked originality.
To use an analogy, imagine Aptos coming out not with the idea, scalability, a new approach to the role of L1 blockchains, and its unique concepts, but as a project that might one day be integrated into Facebook or Instagram. And Zuckerberg was tweeting about his plans to incorporate Aptos DEX into his apps. Of course, everyone would shout LFG and To the Moon for the APT token, but the project would no longer be unique; we would no longer be able to appreciate Aptos as a project, but rather as a third-party add-on to social networks.
That is exactly what TON is; the project itself did not introduce any new ideas; it is simply a project that will most likely be fully integrated with Telegram at some point. TON is not a bad standalone project, but it is far from the best. The uniqueness and added value of TON tokens are solely dependent on Pavel Durov's will and integration solutions.
If any reader disagrees with these assertions, consider what TON has brought to the table as a unique project that we have not seen before.
Let's look at some examples:
1. Ethereum created the first and most stable DeFi ecosystem on the market, and advanced concepts and ideas (DAO, DeFi, NFT, SBT, Sharding, ENS, L2 solutions) were conceived and implemented within Ethereum.
2. Solana is a one-of-a-kind project with one-of-a-kind concepts such as no mem-pool and combining validation and consensus algorithms to increase TPS. On the product side, Solana has enabled users to earn dozens of times on DeFi and NFT, and the ecosystem has spawned some of the most well-known DAOs and projects.
3. Near is still considered one of the most technologically advanced blockchains, with a decently integrated EVM-like network for asset migration. Yes, there were marketing gaffes, and the network did not receive the attention it deserved. However, there was an attempt, as well as a narrative within the ecosystem.
What exactly did TON provide as an individual project??
BUSINESS PART
How does the product make money?
Any L1 solution has 4 basic ways to make money:
1. Selling native tokens representing the team's portion of the total number of tokens.
2. Selling their infrastructure for commercial use by other projects.
3. Investing in other projects.
4. Attracting investment – while we do not consider this a full-fledged way to make money, it does provide funds for operational and strategic actions.
Lets analyze each and try to figure out how TON will make a profit:
1. Selling tokens is a well-established practice; everyone sells a certain percentage of tokens, and that percentage is primarily determined by the team's intentions for the product. If the team views its project as long-term, and things are going well within the project, a small portion of tokens are typically sold, or no tokens are sold at all. If you have funds for development, it is far more profitable to accumulate native tokens rather than sell them to the market, especially if the market is in a slump.
2. Selling their infrastructure – rarely can any project make a good profit on this; typically, buyers are large projects that already generate a profit from their operations. These parameters are well met by projects on large and active blockchains, such as Ethereum. TON lacks critical mass; the ecosystem currently lacks the required number of users and full-fledged businesses.
3. Investments are typically venture capital investments in the most promising projects within the ecosystem or in projects outside the ecosystem that can benefit your ecosystem. The average investment horizon is 3-5 years; such activity does not provide money immediately, as good investors will not drain the tokens of the project in which they have invested. The token's price is the most effective marketing tool. In the long run, it could be a good source of income for TON, but not right now. Furthermore, there are no such promising projects within TON; the ecosystem is still in its early stages, and the best projects for investment will emerge later, namely after the ecosystem's initial establishment and consolidation.
4. Attracting investment – everything is ambiguous here; we don't know who these people and companies are who are investing in TON, so this section is based on hypotheses and assumptions. Only one thing is certain: TON has money, or they would have to provide all marketing and project development for native TON tokens. According to one version, after the project's closure, some of Gram's private investors decided to invest their money in TON. There is also speculation that Telegram invested funds in its subsidiary project. Throughout the existence of TON, there was no public information about sums and investment rounds raised, we know nothing about splits and vesting periods of early investors, in fact, we know almost nothing. We only assume that at some point TON had enough funds to develop the project.
Okay, we've sorted through all four TON earning opportunities; the most important at this point in the project's development is selling tokens and attracting investments. Considering all non-transparency, until the policy on informing collection of new rounds is changed in TON will be invested by individuals and angels, funds, particularly those within the jurisdiction of the United States, hardly decide to invest their funds, many of them did not do it during Gram's flourishing, so after all litigations between Telegram and SEC crypto institutes will most likely decide to reinsure. This severely restricts TON's ability to attract investment.
We can't say how much influence investors can have on the price because we don't know the webcasts and splits, investor shares, and other key nuances of tokenomics. If we assume that the TON investor is only interested in making a profit, we already have two large groups of sellers: the project team and its investors. Keep in mind that there are groups of advisors and validators within the project who also receive native tokens and must lock in profits.
Team
We know nothing about the current TON team; previously, the key people at Gram were Pavel Durov and Nikolay Durov. Pavel is likely no longer a member of the team after Telegram officially closed the Gram project. Because of Pavel's dedication to TON, one can assume that his brother Nikolai is a key figure in the TON project. There is no more public information about the team, and there is nothing on which to base a hypothesis.
Funds and investors
All investments were private, and no information about the individuals or total amounts invested in the TON project is publicly available
Tokenomics
Current number of tokens: 5 billion TON
Number of tokens in circulation: 1.2 billion TON
Market capitalization: ~3 bln.
Total market capitalization: $12.2 billion
The token employs an issuance model based on the underlying inflation rate, the higher the price - the higher the rate, the higher the rate - the higher the issuance
The annual inflation rate is currently 0.6%
The target annual inflation rate indicated in the TON whitepaper is 2%
If the issue is proportional to the inflation rate, we will have at least 25 million new TON tokens per year at the current rate of 0.6%, and when the target rate of 2% is reached, we will have 100 million tokens per year. It should also be noted that issuance is typically based on the number of tokens issued, and the more tokens we have in the market, the higher the issuance will be in absolute numbers.
It should also be noted that validators will receive 20% of the token distribution. A common misconception is that validators have no operating expenses. There are, of course, lower costs than for Proof of Work miners, but don't think that with the PoS algorithm, validators can't sell tokens because there are no transaction costs. There are those costs, and it also makes sense for validators to take a portion of the profits, resulting in structural supply.
Another piece of bad news is that the token burning mechanism is not mentioned. Without the combustion mechanism, the number of tokens gradually increases, and the greater the number, the greater the total supply; keep in mind that for the price of a token to rise, demand must be greater than supply. Without burning native tokens, the supply will exceed the demand, and this oversupply will only grow. TON token demand is currently seen as demand from Telegram users, and it is limited by Telegram's ability to enter new markets and attract new users. The supply of TON tokens is only limited by issuance, and the greater the demand for TON, the higher the issuance, and thus the sooner the supply exceeds demand.
All of this is on top of a lack of transparency about investors, vesting and unlocking tokens, information about the team, and the fact that TON is essentially not an independent project but a Telegram add-on.
There are also a number of structural supply and demand issues. For example, it is not enough to create initial demand; you must also maintain that demand. If everyone who wanted to buy TON tokens and demand drops, TON and Telegram should think of something to encourage users to buy a second round, otherwise the price will begin to fall and all those who said to the moon and LFG will sell, causing a cascade of liquidation of futures buyers and forced sales, resulting in a price collapse.
CONCLUSION
What to expect in the future?
TON should be approached from two perspectives: the product and the speculative investment.
From a product standpoint, TON is likely to be a success and mass adoption thanks to Telegram's support. The likelihood of this success is dependent on whether various governments will not interfere with Telegram as a result of TON integration, and if they do, whether Telegram and TON are prepared to fight back in court. If the authorities in some countries impose a mandatory block on the use of Telegram, TON's position may be jeopardized. If Telegram and TON are again defeated in court by regulators, the situation may change. If Telegram and TON can complete all of their tasks without incident, TON as a project and asset will be widely accepted, at least within the Telegram ecosystem.
From a speculative and investment standpoint, the uncertainty is even greater; the project has numerous flaws that must be addressed, and we do not know the motivation of the key stakeholders. If the integration is successful, TON will most likely be able to reach a new ATH in price, make x2-3 to the current value, and enter the top 10 projects in terms of capitalization. If the market enters a growth cycle, TON will be one of the most expensive tokens on the market for the next cycle.
If TON integration fails, it will be a total failure, and the price of TON will fall by -60-70%.
If we consider a neutral scenario in which the integration was successful but TON use within Telegram is not available in some countries, the price of TON will still break the ATH in the short term, and everything will depend on the team.
OUR OUTPUT: LONG OR SHORT
It all depends on the investment horizon and the ability to wait; in the short term, this appears to be easy money, but in the long term, the risks will be higher, as will the possibility of a black swan product or market.
A long or short in the short term is essentially a bet on whether Pavel Durov can carry out all of his plans, whether he is prepared for regulatory claims, and whether he has reached conclusions after 2020.
Long or short, whether the project team can maintain the product, introduce unique mechanics and narratives to maintain the ecosystem, and whether the team has a plan to eliminate weaknesses is your bet in the long run. It's also a bet on investors' desire to lock in as much revenue as possible, as well as their project valuation.
We see a picture in which the short term is long before the breakthrough of the new ATH, then you look at the market, and the long term is short after the breakdown of ATH, but you must consider how the product develops and what market. People do not see the weaknesses and vulnerabilities during the bull market because of the euphoria, but after the bull market ends, you can profit from these weaknesses.
OUR FINAL WORD
Always keep in mind that, in addition to your basic strategy, everything depends on your risk tolerance, ability to wait, and your fundamental principles and beliefs. We publish our opinions and assessments of various projects, what the prospects may be, and how those prospects provide opportunities for everyone.
Our goal is to provide value where no one else has done it before us.

MATIC / USDT 1D chart ReviewHello, I invite you to review the MATIC chart on a one-day interval. let's start by marking the blue line, the downtrend line, which, as you can see, the price overcame. Since the end of August, we have been moving in a sideways trend channel, but we can also notice that we are locally below the downtrend line.
Now let's look at where the MATIC price has support, as you can see the first support is at $0.70, but if it goes lower we have another support at $0.52 and then $0.31 which is at the last low of the price.
Looking the other way, we can also check what resistance awaits the MATIC when the price starts to grow. And here we have the first support at the price of $ 0.93, when we manage to break it, the price will start moving towards the support from $ 1.32 to $ 1.63, only when we manage to break this zone and then positively test it, the way to further increases will open .
It is worth looking at the moving averages, where we can see that the white line, blue line and red line have crossed the yellow line from below, which heralds increases, however, currently the white line is getting closer to crossing the yellow line from above, if this happens, then blue and red will follow the white one, we can continue the downward trend.
Looking further, the CHOP index indicates that most of the energy has been used, the MACD indicates a local downward trend, while the RSI has decreased, but there is still room for a deeper correction.
QNTUSDT 1W Interval Targets and StoplossHello everyone, let's take a look at the 1W QNT to USDT chart as you can see that the price is moving below the downtrend line and is close to exiting the current triangle.
Let's start by setting goals for the near future that we can take into account:
T1 = $127.6
T2 = $148.7
T3 = $165.8
and
T4 = $182.5
Now let's move on to the stop loss in case the market goes down further:
SL1 = $102.6
SL2 = $82.6
SL3 = $66.4
and
SL4 = $50.8
Looking at the CHOP indicator, we see that the energy is gaining strength on the 1W interval, while the MACD indicator confirms the downward trend, but with a decreasing advantage of sellers.
BNB / USDT 1D INTERVAL, Support and ResistanceI invite you to view the BNB chart on a one-day interval. In this situation, we can mark a sideways trend channel where we are approaching the lower part of the channel, after the huge increases in 2021. We are in a downtrend locally.
Let's check with the Fib Retracement tool what resistance we should consider in the coming days or weeks. First, the price has to overcome the upper level of $298.5 only then we will be able to move towards the resistance zone from $372 to $430.
However, when it comes to support, we are currently in the support zone, which lasts from $ 266 to $ 230, in a situation where the designated zone does not hold the price, we can fall to around $ 183.5, which is the lower limit of our channel. On the other hand, a lower exit from the channel can mean a huge drop even to around $50.
As you can see on the CHOP index, the energy has been used, also on the RSI we see that we are in a place where the price often changed its direction. However, here it is necessary to observe the behavior of BTC in a situation of very large drops will entail the entire market.
However, it is worth remembering about the constantly appearing negative information related to the Binance exchange, which may negatively affect the BNB price.
What next for ETH?Hello everyone, I invite you to review the ETH/USDT chart on a 1-day interval, as you can see, the price has been moving in the downtrend channel for a long time.
It is important that we are currently in the support zone which lasts from $1325 to $1129. If the price does not stay in this zone, we can see a drop even to around $883.
However, if the market reverses the course of the movement and new increases begin, first we will have to positively test the current support zone, then we can go towards the zone from $ 1553 to $ 1661, only overcoming this resistance will open the way towards $ 1827 and $ 2030.
What's more, with the help of the Trend Based Fib Retracement tool, we can mark two smaller support points for the price when the price continues to go down, and here we have support at $ 1021 and $ 964.
Now take a look at the CHOP index, where we see a lot of energy, MACD indicates that we are on the verge of entering a downtrend, while the RSI shows room for a larger price correction.
SOLANA: The end of an era or not?Hello everyone! This is our second idea in a fundamental project analysis (the first one about Aptos is right here ). This idea will tell you about the Solana project in terms of product, competitive advantages, team, tokenomics, and prospects. If you understand the project from all angles, including its essence and goals, as well as the fundamental approach and metrics, you will be able to enter the project more consciously and profitably.
THE PROJECT and IT'S TOKEN
Solana - SOL token
What is the project?
Layer 1 blockchain based on the Proof-of-Stake (PoS) and Proof-of-History (PoH) consensus systems. The project was founded in 2017 and was officially launched in 2020.
PRODUCT PART
Key mechanics
The Proof-of-History algorithm is designed to synchronize the blockchain and transactions. The higher the throughput, the faster the blockchain synchronization rate. PoH is a method for reducing time costs, not a consensus algorithm.
Tower Byzantine Fault Tolerance (TBFT) is a consensus algorithm that is based on Proof-of-Stake that uses PoH to reduce computational resources and time costs.
Turbine is a transaction transfer protocol that shortens the time it takes to transfer data between validators..
Gulf Stream is a transaction transfer protocol that does not use mem-pools because validators are detected in advance.
Sealevel is a parallel execution of transactions and signature verification.
Strengths
High throughput due to a combination of PoH and TBFT, as well as the Gulf Stream and Sealevel.
High scalability due to Turbine
Weaknesses
When there is a high load on the Solana network, the blockchain stops processing transactions and becomes inactive due to a lack of mem-pool. For example, when a large number of mint bots were launched, which sent transactions to the blockchain very quickly, the network was unable to handle transaction processing and went into an inactive state.
Not a reliable level of decentralization – the nodes vote for the block and pass the votes on to the leaders. Leaders collect votes and sign the block themselves. The issue is that in other networks, validators (leaders) validate blocks, and then nodes decide whether or not they agree with the validator's action.
BUSINESS PART
How does the product make money?
The situation is comparable to Aptos and other blockchains. Investing in projects from their ecosystem and the most promising projects from other ecosystems are currently the main sources of income for Layer 1 blockchains, aside from collecting investments.
How can a product make money in the long run?
Selling your infrastructure to third-party companies like web2 or TradFi is the best way to make money with blockchain. However, at the moment, there are several limitations to this:
1. Unreliable technical solutions
Solana has proven that it can stop its work at any moment.
2. Weak regulation
Because there is no clear regulation, any company that decides to integrate into blockchain must accept the risk of pressure from their country's regulators.
3. Lack of business logic
It's still unclear why large corporations should use blockchain infrastructure and what benefits this solution will provide.
TEAM

Raj Gokal – Co-founder, ex Omada Health, General Catalyst Partners
FUNDS AND INVESTORS
Solana has had 9 rounds of investments, total fees ~315m USD
The main investors:
Tor Kenz Capital
Buck Stash
Collab + Currency
Alameda Research
Memetic Capital
Blockchange Ventures
CoinFund
Genesis One Capital
Multicoin Capital
CoinShares
TOKENOMICS
1. Total number of tokens: SOL deflationary token, unlimited maximum number
2. Current circulation: 363,963,170 SOL
3. Current market capitalization: 5.1b USD
All member groups will receive their tokens in the first half of 2023, and token issuance will be limited to Staking Rewards. On the one hand, this is a good thing because SOL will become a fully marketable asset whose value is determined solely by supply and demand, and the issuance will only benefit network contributors. On the other hand, it is bad because Solana has currently lost the DeFi niche due to the network's poor performance and NFT due to the extremely low value of the SOL token. If Solana as a blockchain does not find its niche and users, the SOL token will not have a sufficient level of demand; additionally, the amount of SOL supply will increase every year due to the growing issue of Staking Rewards.
CONCLUSION
What to expect in the future?
Solana, as a project, is basically finished. In 2020-2021, it was an advanced blockchain on which innovative products were released. Solana had the backing of Alameda and FTX, preventing the SOL token from falling below $3 in 2021.
Solana experienced an NFT-boom in the fall of 2021, when the token price reached over $100, and many users became wealthy (or very rich as a result of Solana). However, in November 2021, the crypto-winter began, affecting all market assets. However, the crypto-winter began in November 2021, affecting all market assets. This year, SOL lost more than 90% of its value, lost many NFT users (no one wants to earn $20-30 and spend many hours of time grinding), lost the DeFi sector (users don't want to wait for Solana network to work and process transactions again, developers find more profit to run their application on L2 EVM network), and lost the support of their main sponsors – Alameda and SBF (these guys have enough problems right now). Along with the death of the previous cycle's market narratives, one of the cycle's brightest projects is likely to have died as well.
Solana and the SOL token have two chances to recover their positions:
1. To attract new investors and real-world businesses that will use Solana's infrastructure. It is unlikely because Solana has already demonstrated weaknesses in their solutions, and it is unclear whether they can address those weaknesses. Furthermore, there are more advanced and promising solutions on the market (Aptos (here is a link to our article about Aptos on TV), SUI, Starknet, Scroll, Shardeum), investment and use of which will yield greater long-term benefits.
2. To develop or attract new projects and audiences. It is also unlikely because EVM networks are more likely to be chosen by developers and users due to their larger user base, network activity, and potential.
Our output: long or short
In the short run, SOL token will follow the market, but will rise slower and fall faster than others.
In the long run, Solana resources are limited, the market is becoming increasingly competitive, and Solana and SOL are no longer of product and business interest. The project has run its course; SOL will most likely be among the top 50/100 projects in terms of capitalization, but Solana's golden days are over.
P.S
In any case, your trading strategy, investment and trading planning horizon are significant to make decisions and these decisions are up to you! Don't forget about risk management; the market is volatile, and you must successfully arrive at the right long-term forecasts without losing all of your capital. Keep in mind that many participants in the crypto market undervalue or overvalue projects and assets, and the true evaluation occurs only after the appropriate events occur.
Thank you for reading!

GBPUSD H4 - Long SignalGBPUSD H4 - Breakout seen on cable, we covered this in the weekly watchlist video at the start of the week on the Youtube channel, and mentioned we really want to see this break and retest play. Hoping to see a corrective test of 1.23 support for long entries over the next 12-18 hours
DOT / USDT 1D CHART - Resistance and SupportHello everyone, I invite you to review the DOTUSDT 1-day chart. It is worth starting by marking with the yellow lines of the downtrend triangle in which we have been moving for over a year, but we are approaching the direction of the price. However, locally, as we can see, the price is below the downtrend line.
Now, using the Fib Retracement tool, we will check where we currently have support for the price and here we have the first support at the price of $ 5, from which the price has already rebounded three times, but if the support is broken, we have another support at the price of $ 4.55 and $ 3.82.
Looking the other way, we will set the DOT resistance points in the same way and here we have the first resistance at the price of $5.57, the second at the price of $5.92, the third at the price of $6.21 and the fourth at the price of $6.50.
On the CHOP index, we see quite a lot of energy, the MACD indicator indicates the entry into a downtrend, while on the RSI we are below half, there is still room for a larger correction.
Daily review of BTC interval 4HHello everyone, let's look at the BTC to USDT chart on a 4-hour timeframe. As you can see, the price has been moving in the uptrend channel for a long time, which we marked with white lines, it is also worth noting that we have now rebounded for the third time perfectly from the lower border of our channel.
Let's start with setting the support and as you can see in the current situation zena stopped perfectly at the beginning of the first support zone which lasts from $16677 to $16459. However, if the price breaks downwards from the current ascending channel and starts to fall, we can see a drop to the second support zone from $16223 to $15893.
Now let's move on to the resistance that we should take into account when the price starts moving along our current channel and in this situation we see that the first resistance zone that the price is currently fighting is from $16846 and continues to $17158, the next resistance is at priced at $17,630 and $18,211.
Looking at the CHOP indicator, we see that in the 4-hour interval, most of the energy has been used, the MACD indicator indicates a local downtrend, and the RSI is at a fairly low level, from which the price usually started to rise.
APTOS: Long or Short? Hello everyone, we are a new derivative exchange Sunflower Corporation. Our aim is to bring value to traders and make trading process more conscious. We would like to explain and demonstrate the project in terms of the product, its competitive advantages, the team, tokenomics, and prospects.
You’ll gain a better understanding of the essence and content of what you are trading, and you’ll look at the token from a different angle, from the fundamental approach and metrics, which will allow you to enter the project more consciously and profitably.
So the first project we would to tell you about is APTOS - APT token
What is the project?
Layer 1 blockchain running on the Proof-of-Stake consensus system. It is based on the Move language.
Blockchain
Aptos is powered by its own blockchain. Diem was the project's original name, and was developed entirely within Meta (ex. Facebook ). Diem was created in 2019 by the team in charge of developing blockchain technology within what was then Facebook . Diem-Aptos was tested in closed mode from 2019 to spring 2022. The open test phase began in the spring 2022, and in October 2022, the APT token was released, and the blockchain began operation on the main network.
PRODUCT PART
Key mechanics:
Its own language (Move) for development
Batch processing of transactions
Parallel execution of transactions
Sharding
Smart contract types definition on the blockchain level
Availability of mem-pool transactions
Strengths:
Fast operation due to mem-pool transactions
High TPS through parallel execution and batch processing
Ease of Dapps development through specific types of smart contracts and proprietary programming language
BUSINESS PART
How does the product make money?
Currently, the only way for the product to profit is through the sale or further investment of native APT token into Aptos ecosystem and other prospective projects.
Aptos Foundation tokens total 165 million, valued at ~ 750 million USD according to current estimates.
Among them, 5 million tokens were initially available, equivalent to approximately $23 million USD by current estimates.
The remaining 160 million tokens have a 120-month linear unlock: ~ 1.3 million APT tokens per month and ~ 6.3 million USD at the current token valuation
In other words, at a monthly APT token price of ~ 4-5 USD, the APT team will receive ~ 5-6 million USD for investment and venture activities.
How can a product make money in the long run?
If Aptos' technical solutions can be implemented, Aptos will be able to sell its infrastructure to financial and technical firms for use in implementing their products or developing joint products. Aptos' declared TPS is ~ 130k transactions, with a target of ~ 160k transactions; in comparison, Ethereum's average TPS is ~ 10 transactions per second, Arbitrum's is ~ 2 transactions per second, and Solana's is ~ 4k transactions per second.
Team
The founders and main developers are former Meta employees who worked on the predecessor of Aptos, Diem/
Funds and investors
Aptos had 3 rounds of investments, total amount of fees ~400m USD
Here are the main investors:
Binance
ParaFi Capital
OAK
Circle Ventures
Apollo
Bixin Ventures
Franklin Templeton Investments
Jump Crypto
Tess Ventures
Superskrypt
Tokenomics
1. Total amount of tokens: 1b APT
2. Current circulation: 130m APT (125m APT for the community and 5m APT for Foundation)
3. Current market capitalization: 610m USD
4. Total market capitalization: 4.6b USD
5. Token unlocks:
a) 160m APT tokensf or Foundation - monthly for 10 years, ~1. 3m APT monthly
b) 385 217 358 APT tokens for the community - monthly for 10 years, ~3.2m APT monthly
c) 324 782 640 APT tokens for key participants and investors - blocking the first 12 months, once every 2 months from 13 to 18
months ~6.7m APT, monthly from 19 to 48 months ~6.7m APT
At the moment, users are not charged for transactions, so validators and stackers are incentivized with APT tokens for the community. This means that by the time the project's initial investors and key players unlock tokens, validators and stackers will have a higher aggregate volume than investors. The situation will level out over time. It is worth noting that, as retail investors and traders follow the trend, APT tokens of validators and stackers will be sold rather than accumulated during a bear market.
CONCLUSION
What to expect in the future?
Aptos is a long-term project. If no technical risks occur, the project will be among the top 10/20 CMCs in terms of capitalization in the long run. Given the amount of money raised by the Aptos team and the monthly unlocks, the project should easily survive the current crypto-winter and grow to be one of the best projects in the industry. We should understand that the first year of Aptos is a year of ecosystem formation, development, and expansion. The same thing happened to Solana and Near.
Our output: long or short
In the short term, given the advantage of retail investors and the availability of futures markets on all of the top exchanges:
On a falling market - short, because the project lacks the critical mass to deviate from the market trend.
On an ascending and positive market - long, capitalization is small, circulation is a little over 10%, Aptos can show very good growth.
In the long term, it is long. The project includes a buffer for quiet work in the next 2-3 years. For example, Near and Solana's resources have been significantly reduced, and the protocols' weaknesses can now be seen.
In any case, your trading strategy, investment and trading planning horizon are significant to make decisions and these decisions are up to you! Thanks for reading this idea and the next one will be about Solana so follow us and get more knowledge about crypto projects.
Daily review of BTC interval 1DHello everyone, let's look at the BTC to USDT chart on the 1D time frame. As you can see, the price from the fall after the problems with the FTX exchange moves sideways, we can also mark the triangle with yellow lines that BTC must keep and go up.
Let's start with setting the support and as you can see in the first place we have a support zone from $ 16931 to $ 16700, but if the support does not hold the price, we have another zone from $ 16170 to $ 15477 when the second zone is broken we can see a drop down to $ 14360 and further $13,606.
Looking the other way, we see that when we manage to break through the resistance from $17,158 to $17,621, we will open the way towards the resistance at $18,196, and only when the price breaks it will move towards strong resistance at $19,218.
Looking at the CHOP indicator, we see that there is still some energy on the one-day interval, the MACD indicator indicates that we are in an uptrend, while the selling candles prevail on the volume.
CHZUSDT LONG-THERM Hello everyone, let's look at the CHZ to USDT 1 day chart. As you can see, the price has been moving in the downtrend channel for a long time.
As we can see, we have marked two support zones, the first short-term zone is from $0.1446 to $0.1028, while if the price goes lower, we can see a drop to the second zone from $0.0487 to $0.0279.
However, if the market changes its trend to an upward first zone of resistance, we have from $ 0.2187 to $ 0.2584 only when the price goes up from it, we can see greater increases around the second zone from $ 0.5186 to $ 0.7728.
Looking at the CHOP indicator, we see that on a 1-day interval, the energy on the CHOP index has been exhausted, and the MACD indicator indicates a downtrend.
XRP - USDT on 1D interval Resistance and SupportHello everyone, I invite you to chart XRP in pair to USDT on a one-day time frame. Let's start by marking with the yellow lines the channel in which the price is moving and with the blue line the local uptrend line.
As we can see, the price turned around nicely around zero seventy-eight and returned to zero sixty-one.
Now let's check what current support we should consider and here we have the first support at thirty-seven cents, the second support at thirty-four cents, the third support at thirty-two cents and the fourth support at thirty-cents.
However, for the price to freely start to grow, it must overcome a strong resistance from forty-two cents to forty-six cents, only when it breaks above this area and tests it successfully, we will be able to see further increases.
It is worth mentioning that the energy on the CHOP index is strongly charged, the macdi indicator indicates that we are in the local uptrend, and on the volume, although it is small, we see the advantage of buyers.
Daily review of BTC interval 1DHello everyone, let's look at the BTC to USDT chart in the 4-hour timeframe as you can see we are moving in the downtrend channel marked with the blue lines.
As for support, we should watch BTC price behavior within the channel, as a break below the designated channel can give a quick drop to a strong support zone from $13,172 to $12,709.
On the other hand, when the price starts to rise, we can mark resistance places with green lines and in this situation, the first resistance is at $ 17,771, if the price breaks it, the next resistance is at $ 19,203 and $ 20,352.
As you can see on the one-day interval, we have a lot of energy, the MACD indicator indicates a change in the trend to an upward one, and the volume for the last two days indicates the advantage of sellers, but it is clearly low.
