Akash bullish divergenceAkash is a top project with great fundamentals - web3 cloud provider cheaper than AWS, Google etc. The chart does not look as nice as the fundaments but I think this divergence could play out and we could see AKT hitting the resistance at 4$. Many tokens are staked (42% APY) and the price is therefore easy to manipulate. Volume is also there + there was a big token unlock. I am already long and I will be long for few years to come because the idea is really nice, but I'd add some short-time long as well here. Let's go!

DOT vs ETH - RatiosInteresting chart showing that DOT has been making a comeback against ETH but is now at some strong resistance VS ETH
If the past cycles were indicative of the future, there is a chance DOT could trade well against ETH. And then vice versa.
Not trading or financial advice, I just find ratios very interesting. IF there's a flash crash, then the ratios go completely out of whack, so be careful.

Why Web 3.0 Tokens Might Be the Next Hot Trade in Cryptocurrencies
Digital assets like livepeer, helium and bittorent have soared in value this year despite the recent slump in cryptocurrencies.

With bitcoin ( BTC , 2.52%) prices stuck in a months-long holding pattern, some cryptocurrency traders are speculating on what might be the next hot market bet: digital assets associated with visions of a decentralized Internet, referred to colloquially as Web 3.0 tokens.
Data tracked by Messari and published by Arca Chief Investment Officer Jeff Dorman shows the cryptocurrency sub-sector of "Web 3.0 tokens" gained 22% in the week ended Aug. 1, outshining bitcoin and every other sub-sector, including non-fungible tokens (NFTs). Bitcoin , the largest cryptocurrency by market value, rallied 10%.
On a year-to-date basis, tokens associated with decentralized Internet applications have seen an average 244% rise, trailing the NFT sub-sector's 2,726% gain but beating bitcoin's 37% appreciation.
Crypto performance
Some of the most prominent Web 3.0 coins, such as livepeer (🎯LPT), helium (🎯HNT), and bittorrent (🎯BTT, -2.23%) ( BTT ), are up at least 800% this year, despite a slump in cryptocurrency markets since April, according to Messari.
"Seeing the Web 3.0 ecosystem grow exponentially since the beginning of the year and keep the majority of their gains after the capitulation even in May is very positive for the crypto market," Nick Mancini, a research analyst for Trade The Chain, told CoinDesk. "Higher prices are directly linked to increased demand and expansion of services in each layer, and because of this, the ecosystem is able to continue its growth."
Web 3.0 refers to a paradigm shift for the Internet run by network participants worldwide and defined by a set of open, trust-minimized and decentralized networks and protocols offering services such as computing, storage, bandwidth, finance and identity.
For instance, the Ethereum-based Livepeer protocol offers a marketplace for video infrastructure providers and streaming applications, while Filecoin and The Graph provide decentralized file storage and data management networks. Helium uses blockchains and tokens to incentivize consumers and small businesses to provide and validate wireless coverage and transfer device data over the network.
Messari's tracker shows the Web 3.0 tokens sub-sector, which includes over 40 coins, has a total market valuation of $25 billion, excluding oracle provider Chainlink. (The oracle provider is widely associated with decentralized finance and has a market cap of $10 billion).
However, just considering prominent projects like The Graph, Filecoin, Helium and Livepeer, the market capitalization of Web 3.0 tokens tallies less than $15 billion. That's just 2% of bitcoin's total market capitalization of $735 billion. But it's similar to the size of the decentralized finance (DeFi) space a year ago. Messari data shows the DeFi subsector now includes 137 assets and is worth over $50 billion.
Awaiting Mainstream Attention
While the Web 3.0 tokens have outperformed bitcoin and other major coins by a big margin this year, the sector is yet to witness the euphoria or mainstream attention that Bitcoin , Ethereum , DeFi, NFT, and even Ethereum layer 2 projects have received since October 2020.
That’s probably because the underlying technology is relatively complex.
“Web 3 is not quite as easy as DeFi is to understand, and it's probably 12 months behind DeFi in terms of mainstream awareness,” Kyle Samani, co-founder and managing partner at Multicoin Capital, said. “We expect this to change as consumer-facing applications based on NFTs, social tokens and creator monetization grow over the next 12 months such as Audius, Mirror, and many others.”
The DeFi boom began a year ago and has remained intact to date. That sector's market cap has grown from roughly $5 billion in early 2020 to over $50 billion at press time.
Samani is confident that Web 3.0 tokens will play catch up as DeFi sometimes gets a bad rep; however, there is no negativity associated yet with the idea of a decentralized internet. Recently, Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) Commissioner Dan Berkovitz said that DeFi derivatives might be illegal in the U.S.
"No one really says that The Graph, an indexing protocol for querying networks like Ethereum and Solana and IPFS, is bad, whereas a lot of people in the existing financial system say that DeFi is bad,” Samani said. "So as the awareness of Web 3 grows, it's hard to see anything but general support and enthusiasm."
Institutions Chip In
While mainstream adoption is still at least a year away, deep-pocketed investors are pouring money into Web 3.0 tokens. Multicoin Capital is invested in The Graph, Helium, and Livepeer, according to the official website.
Grayscale, the world's largest digital assets manager and preferred venue for institutional investors to gain exposure to digital assets, launched a livepeer trust in March. Rayhaneh Sharif-Askary, director of investor relations at Grayscale Investments, told CoinDesk last month that investors are diversifying into Web 3.0 tokens.
"It's diversification within the asset class, whether investors want exposure to bitcoin as a store of value, Ethereum for smart contracts," Sharif-Askary said.
"And then the other applications beyond that are building upon those networks, and solving other real-world problems," she said, adding that Grayscale's Livepeer trust is structurally identical to the landmark Grayscale Bitcoin Trust ( GBTC ) (Grayscale is a unit of Digital Currency Group, an investment holding company that is also the parent of CoinDesk.)
Livepeer's LPT token is up 1,050% this year. The protocol's weekly revenue surged 10-fold to over $10,000 in the February-to-June period, according to data provided by Web3Index.
Doug Petkanics, CEO and co-founder at Livepeer, told CoinDesk that online streaming is a $70 billion market and accounts for 80% of the Internet traffic today. Further, the market is set to grow from $70 billion to $250 billion in the next five years, according to analysts' projections, Petkanics said. The prospects for The Graph, and Ocean Protocol are also looking bright , as Messari’s second quarter review said.
Aside from the strong use case, many of these Web 3.0 tokens offer attractive yields via Staked, a platform that allows investors to earn yield from staking and DeFi without taking custody of their crypto assets.
For instance, Helium's HNT token currently offers an annualized 8.7% nominal yield, while The Graph's the graph ( GRT , 0.40%) offers a 15% yield and LPT offers 30% returns. The high returns led to positive sentiment for these tokens, as reflected in the below sentiment chart.
"Traders have been feeling bullish in regard to them, which fuels a network effect," Mancini said. "Traders profit and stake, and, in turn, tell others about the outsized opportunity."

Crypto Market Is Much More Than Bitcoin
The days of investors considering crypto markets synonymous with bitcoin are passé. While bitcoin remains the top cryptocurrency by market value, the recent underperformance relative to other coins suggests investors are diving deeper into digital-asset markets to find investments with faster growth potential.
"One-week data may not mean much, but if we look over three months, six months, and 12 months, there's a clear shift away from bitcoin into other sub-sectors, Web 3.0 being one of them," Arca’s Jeff Dorman said in a Telegram call.
Per Arca's research note published earlier this week, bitcoin has had "both poor up-capture and poor down-capture" this year. In plain English, bitcoin struggled to outperform other major coins during the market-wide downturn observed after mid-April but also underwhelmed as the market recovered in the past couple of weeks.
According to Dorman, the data shows that some new investors are bypassing bitcoin and ethereum (ETH, 0.50%) and going directly into other industry sub-sectors. Historically, investors have used the top two coins as gateways.
AR: UNDOUBTEDLY THE COIN OF THE FUTUREI am expecting a shift in momentum. At least that is what MACD suggests to me. Is a breakout towards the upside impossible? Nope! However, it seems the less likely scenario. The bowl-shaped formation at the bottom spells nothing but bullishness. The same could be applied to the volume. Golden crosses between EMA50 & EMA100 and MA50 & MA100 indicate bullishness. This coin is on my long-term investment list. Because I want to make profits? Yes, but that's not the whole story. I want to benefit the crypto community as well with this investment and be a part of the huge change that will come to pass in the not-so-distant future.
#SKY/BTC : Learning Wyckoff Accumulation Schematic #1 ------------------------------------------------------------------
What is Skycoin?
------------------------------------------------------------------
"Skycoin (SKY) is an open-source, community-owned, hardware-based peer-to-peer internet that leverages the incentive structure of the blockchain.
Skycoin’s platform has been billed as 'completely secure, infinitely scalable, and ISP independent' by the project team. Skycoin is focused on security, usability, and ease of use.
Skywire, the flagship application of Skycoin, aims to decentralize the internet at the hardware level. Skywire's objectives extend beyond providing decentralized bandwidth - it also aims to offer storage and computation."
www.skycoin.com
coinmarketcap.com
------------------------------------------------------------------
Skycoin is in a category of Cryptocurrencies called "Web-3",
"Web 3.0 is slated to be the new paradigm in web interaction and will mark a fundamental change in how developers create websites, but more importantly, how people interact with those websites."
If the Web 3 Category of Cryptocurrencies gets some positive attention or news this would be great for Skycoin also.

What is Wyckoff Accumulation?
------------------------------------------------------------------
"One objective of the Wyckoff method is to improve market timing when establishing a position in anticipation of a coming move where a favorable reward/risk ratio exists.
In accumulation, the shares purchased outnumber those sold while, in distribution, the opposite is true. The extent of accumulation or distribution determines the cause that unfolds in the subsequent move out of the TR ."
------------------------------------------------------------------
A trading range shows us an equilibrium between buyers and sellers, and the Wyckoff Theory & Schematics give us clues to which probable direction the price may head out of the horizontal moving price structure.
In this particular example on SKY/BTC : Skycoin we can see the highest volume on record was on the buy side when the price fell below the Horizontal Trading Range, if the price can get back inside this area it may be a good clue that it was a fakeout trapping the sellers below the range, and transferring the wealth from the fear striken to the hands of the patient for the next Mark Up phase.
See Wyckoff Links below for further knowledge & reference Schematic of Accumulation, I have also included the schematic on the chart.

------------------------------------------------------------------
If Skycoin can find support at the 0.000045 area then a strong upside movement to 0.000063-0.000076 is possible, in the case of a Alt Season or continuous Crypto Bull Market even higher prices can be achieved once the Trading Range is claimed again.

ANKR daily looking primed ANKR
Daily chart here looking like we have a bull flag / triple bottom in the making. Targets will be back to .13/14 range of resistance
From there back to the all time high of .21 then the .618 fib. I feel when we get to that point it runs we will break above the top of the Fib an run towards $1 on the spike/wick before we come back down to the mid .60 range on the first burst. This should start to come to fruition over the coming days and weeks. Unless bitcoin gives us all a middle finger.
BAND Undervalued ? Ascending Triangle FormationBAND is another one of those coins that I feel is quite undervalued still, It is a cross chain data oracle for the web 3.
I see the importance and aim it takes for cross chain implementation is superior to LINK, especially with more ecosystems such as Binance Smart Chain, Huobi ECO, Polkadot, etc. The potential for BAND is much greater than LINK I believe.
With LINK sitting at a 17 Billion $ Market Cap, and BAND at a 500 MILLION $ Market Cap.
Even a 20x of Market Cap would have BAND sitting at a 10 Billion $ MC, meaning a price of almost 400$. Fundamentally speaking this is one of the coins I suggest having in your portfolio if anything, for the MID-LONG term.
Technical analysis side shows BAND following an ascending triangle pattern on the 1D chart, It is about break above the 20$ resistance level which has acted as resistance previously (two red arrows indicating it).
Maybe a scenario displayed by the blue path line could be the playout in the short term potentially (could play out much earlier though with current market sentiment), ideally I would like to see a break above the 20$ resistance and a run up to 25$ - 30$, before it comes back down to confirm a S/R flip.
Thanks for reading!
GO: .05 cents | WEB 3.0 ahead of the TRENDprobably the next Big Thing to the new world wild web..
awesome team.. impressive plan
Polkadot correction is closing on the next rocket launch padEarly correction appears to accelerated the polkadot cycle pattern, I would expect to touch $12-13 range before exploding into the next cycle. If successful $DOT can become the best token to trade in 2021 and overtake $USDT by market cap
There is currently no other token without the psychological ballast from the last bull cycle, by extrapolating previous bull cycle ATH move of $ADA (~1$) we can speculate that $DOT at it's ATH can reach up to $38-$40 at it's peak even if BTC price was to stay in the 30k region.
Polkadot will introduce new millionaires to the world??????Technically if #polkadot can broken 5$ : we will see 5.56 for the first TP1 and if it breaks this price ' we will see the peak of price again for TP2 and This will not be out of reach. SO the #polkadot family have to push it up and #Gavin_Wood must work harder than ever.
There is a few resistance and support but reactions of polkadot to support and resistance aren't irrational.
