(BTC) bitcoin "signs"the blue/green line is crossing the purple dotted line. This is a sign representing a transitional phase between moving averages where the short line begins to cross over the patterns of longer time frames. I was looking at this today and though any indicator is never 100% accurate it is always better to see positive signs rather than no signs at all. Could this be the summer of crypto? A positive crypto summer unlike so many previous years? I'm well aware the second quarter just started and summer is not close by 3 months time.

(ETH) ethereum "triangle - slant"Ethereum is not priced for an only up direction as of right now, unlike Bitcoin. As seen in the chart and indicator. The pink and purple dotted lines are close to intersecting and if the pink link crosses over this is a good sign for the chance of a neutrality and even a possible upward forming price chart position.
(APT) aptos "ahead of the game, or not"It is not use in being ahead of the price trend if the price is not going to recovery before Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin. Dogecoin used to be the one to measure between the big three cryptocurrency prices. Nowadays, Dogecoin is so popular with such a strong price hold and the fact that the unlimited coins means to measure Dogecoin is quite a bit more strange when compared to all the other limited circulating supply companies. Aptos appears to be closer to a neutral position, or will the price keep falling if Etherum and Bitcoin do not go flat? That is what I mean by this.
(XLM) STELLARBefore large businesses finally consume the market of defi to become well established payment systems, small businesses can do so sooner than later. Even if large businesses are not using cryptocurrency to receive and transaction payments, there is no reason small businesses and freelancers cannot offer a way to receive and send payments through decentralized means. If most people used defi payment systems of some type (Preferred by the user) the need to care about whether the largest banks connected the two points as a bridge would not be necessary or important. In a way, it is as if society expects the banks, instead of the businesses (large, med, small) to make it possible to connect with payment crypto systems. If the business uses or even requires crypto payment transactions the bank is the one that will need to keep up and not the other way around. Why are we living in a world where we let the people that do the least amount of future thinking decisions control the way the future will be shaped. Banks have power through the people. Power to the people, not the banks. Banks collect all the money and use the collective bargaining chip to control people. From an individual standpoint people are more important than banks and as a network of individuals the movement of money is free flowing only if people choose to control their future and money. It is the end of the world, we're all going to die, this is the end, oh no. Investing in risky assets was never a safe bet as much as a risk worth taking. Keep that in mind. Using a feeless service like XLM for transactions that happen instantaneously would not be subject to issues of volatility in price. If there was a way to buy a crypto at the same time as transacting the cryptocurrency for the purpose of a transaction, now that would be revolutionary; so as to avoid the idea of holding the cryptocurrency to make the transaction.

etherum (ETH) "INDICATOR TANGLE"The moving averages with shadow function offer a timeframe to follow before major improvements in price. Right now Ethereum is jumbled up with the third blue line 150 variable moving average. This is not dissimilar to Bitcoin because Bitcoin does not follow such simple methods of indicator transcribing. This would look like the peak is reached according to the orange line and stepped yellow line crossing paths. The difference this time around compared to back in 2021 is in how the blue line is intersecting with those lines (orange, yellow, green) that rise when the price is reaching peak evaluation.

All Strategies Are Good; If Managed Properly!

ETH BREAKOUT??Simple chart with key levels shown. After the Trump victory price has broken out from the downtrend of 7 months. So far the breakout has been capped at the major resistance level of $2850. It's a clearly important S/R level with clear TPs on the way back up to local high.
Entry is a tricky one, the macro is clearly bullish with the election news + interest rate cuts happening globally. A safer entry would be a flip of the resistance @ $2850.
A second entry would be the green box and still broken out of the downtrend. That would make the entry closer to being wrong and therefor better R:R but for me less probable as $2850 is still major resistance.
Invalidation is under the green area around $2700 and falling back under the downtrend, approx -6.5% under the possible entry once the S/R is flipped.
APTOS Broken out from a Hunt Volatility Funnel... $40+Building on #SUI's impressive recent performance, it seems that this new #Blockchain for this cycle is poised to attract supportive investment.
While the technical setup isn't flawless, for a perfect #HVF pattern, with a L2 lower versus L1, it still has a strong chance of reaching its anticipated upper targets during this bullish phase!
Is SUI the chosen Blockchain of the Banana ZoneThere is a well-defined inverse head and shoulders pattern forming on the CRYPTOCAP:SUI to CRYPTOCAP:SOL USD ratio chart.
The neckline sits at 0.16, a level we recently touched and then pulled back from, marking it as a significant barrier to overcome.
Our linear target is set at 0.0282, indicating a notable potential increase of +83% on the ratio.
Looking further ahead, the logarithmic projection reaches up to 0.064.
At that stage, we can imagine our friend Raoul Pal celebrating in triumph.
SEI 1H Breakout??Potential breakout play on SEI, having broken above the diagonal trendline resistance. Now retesting this trendline as new support after making new higher low and higher high on the 1H timeframe.
Price is currently in the middle of 2 draws to the downside and 2 to the upside. This does make the breakout less certain, the bullish OB that lays under current price would have better R:R without breaking the new bullish trend.
Clear resistance is shown around the triple top pattern/ Daily resistance. As the general HTF structure is still a choppy one, these areas of resistance shouldn't be taken lightly as there is no real momentum to break those levels easily.
DIONE 1H BULL FLAG?Potential bull flag setup on DIONE/USDT 1H TF.
A very exciting L1 project using 100% renewable energy. IMO it's one to watch going into 2025, being environmentally friendly fixes the ethical argument that crypto is bad for the environment, this could be a massive pro for the project going forward when the L1 choice will narrow down as the winners rise to the top during the adoption phase.
For now on the 1H TF there is a potential bull flag breakout LONG setup. After a strong rally price has been accumulating with Lower highs and Higher lows, compressing waiting to expend in either direction. TA suggests a bull flag should be a continuation to the upside. This would be backed up by the 1D chart where price is above the daily support & 1D 200EMA, the draw on liquidity should now be above so this suggests a bullish continuation.
For DIONE to breakout below it would have to lose the 1H 200EMA while it's in a steep uptrend. I think that would have to come from BTC nuking and with FOMC that's possible due to volatility of news events, however it is less likely than the bullish scenario IMO.
SUI/USDT 1D SUI has been one of the better performing L1's and altcoins in general in the last 6 months that BTC has been chopping/ranging.
There are a few key points on the SUI chart that catch my eye:
- 1D 200EMA is now flipped bullish with a strong reaction after flipping the level, this shows buyers are confident in the project and happier to buy at higher levels, instead of waiting for a pullback for example.
- Clear Higher high and higher low structure indicating a bullish trend on the daily. Invalidations are more obvious when a structure like this is broken.
- Plenty of room to grow going into Q4, the range is clearly mapped out with key Orderblock levels that will more than likely be resistance levels and so they are the targets to take profits, hedge or de-risk while assessing where SUI will go.
With this being SUI's first Bullrun history shows the newer projects do better off in terms of ROI that's if they survive, from what we have seen so far this cycle I believe SUI will be a strong project going forward.
