(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.

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.
(ETH) ethereum "direction"I think Ethereum is headed in the direction of the black neutral zone area as seen in the auto fib retracement indicator. The 50 day and 100 day moving average lines show Ethereum headed towards the neutral zone. Due to the neutral zone being above the price, I think the price of Ethereum is going to gain in price.
NEAR protocol on the WEEKLY NEAR is a project that covers all the bases. A Web3 Layer 1 with the capability for unlimited transactions per second (TPS) that's transparent and accessible to everyone. NEAR protocol has begun venturing into the AI space pushed by Co-Founder Illia Polosukhin who is an AI researcher himself, with an AI marketplace as he believes AI is one of the core verticals for the NEAR ecosystem going into the future.
The near chart is a promising one for the future. Having already experienced the 2022 altseason, we can gauge where NEAR will meet resistance, and sellside pressure areas and of course previous ATH. Using Fibonacci levels combined with range quarters we can split up an otherwise daunting chart into sections of a large range. Since the rally began in the beginning of 2024 price has broken above the 0.75 line and has been retested for support, of which it held and is now key support. With BTC's rally on the recent CPI numbers, the stronger altcoins followed suit and now NEAR is targeting the MIDPOINT of the range at $10.72 (0.5 level). From then on there is a clear FVG resistance before hitting the highs.
I have used the Fib levels as long term Take Profit areas, who knows how long it may take to get there or even if we get there at all. However the fundamentals of the Project are very strong, with a great team and expanding into high interest narratives like AI all add up to a very promising project. The one downside is that circulating supply is not capped and will grow at 5% each year. Therefor the tokenomics are not as favourable to investors as for example Injective INJ which has a capped at 100,000,000 coins and currently has 94% of that circulating and that limits dilution of token value.
I'm very bullish on NEAR in the long run, the current LTF bearish pullback has been punishing for the majority of alts however NEAR has held up very well. The AI narrative backing it as well will surely help it progress and the accessibility of being available on all the major exchanges.

BTC - Accumulation or Short Buildup❗️Hello TradingView Family / Fellow Traders,
BTC has been hovering within a narrow range marked in red around the $60,000 - $62,000 support zone.
Scenarios:
1️⃣ Bullish - Accumulation
For the bulls to take full control again, a break above the upper bound of the range is needed.
In this case, a movement towards the $69,000 resistance would be expected.
2️⃣ Bearish - Short Buildup
In parallel, if the $60,000 support is broken downward, we expect a bearish movement towards the lower bound of the orange channel around $55,000.
Which scenario is more likely to happen first? and why?
📚 Always follow your trading plan regarding entry, risk management, and trade management.
Good luck!

SOLANA UPDATE SOLANA has been one of the best performing large caps this year. A strong L1 project that has an ATH of $260 from the previous Bullrun that has made a huge rally off the lows.
My pessimistic side is worried that the rally has been exhausted, we've reached HTF RESISTANCE as well as a STRONG BEARISH DIVERGENCE. There is a strong case to be made that using TA this would be a great place to take profits. Not necessarily go short, but de-risk and enjoy what would have been a roughly 5x from lows.
We also have SOLANA being used to buy SOL memecoins, we're seeing this across the board with AVAX and INJ too, we've reached the memecoin phase of the run which also leads me to believe this move is coming to an end. Just how long the memecoin run will last, who knows, but it will come to an end as they always do, and usually very suddenly.
For now TA says to de-risk, however FA is running the show for now, we'll see for how much longer.
Long ZetaI'm going long zeta here. Zeta has reached good support, it is in this bullish triangle, and the RSI is nearing oversold territory. But, I am placing tight stops on this trade due to the conglomeration of my other indicators all still signalling "SELL". I am taking a bet that they will all soon flip. Zeta is an awesome L1 crosschain solution. It's only a matter of time before the collective catches on and start adopting, developing, and building on this chain.
$EXRD / $XRD HopiumHumans struggle to comprehend exponential curves, but the history of crypto has shown that the log chart it is the only rational TA method for mature projects.
If Radix were to match the market cap of Solana CRYPTOCAP:SOL , its price would be ~$7.50. Radix's superior tech, narrative, and ecosystem could 10x that, and at the apex of the bull market 5-10x that again.
Therefore, we are giving a price target of ~$200 before the end of the year, with Bitcoin at $400k by the same analysis.
Alternatively, FTM/BTC also looks bullish FTM/BTC also looks bullish.
Broke out from rising channel and has retested on the 4 hr. If it can close above on the daily, that would be a good sign to enter, as breakouts from rising channels are v bullish.
Happy trades,
