The crypto market is rallying 6.8% following the US presidential elections, which made Bitcoin soar to a new all-time high (ATH). As a result, most of the market saw a green daily close, with Solana (SOL) recording a 15.8% surge in the last 24 hours and regaining a key support level. Related Reading: Shiba Inu (SHIB) Gearing Up For Massive Bullish Wave Following 8% Daily Surge, 110% Rally Ahead? Solana Dethrones BNB As 4th Largest Crypto The result of the US elections gave the crypto market the long-awaited boost many investors and market watchers expected. In the early hours of Wednesday, the largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization surged about 8.6% toward its new ATH of $75,358. This surge, fueled by the victory of pro-crypto Republican candidate Donald Trump and a mostly crypto-friendly Congress over US Vice President Kamala Harris, ignited a bullish rally across the market. Solana followed BTC’s lead and jumped over 15% to turn the $180 level into support. Moreover, the cryptocurrency reached its highest price since July, nearing the $190 resistance level. SOL’s daily activity skyrocketed in the last 24 hours, rising 210% to a $10.7 billion daily trading volume. Meanwhile, the cryptocurrency saw a 14.66% increase in market capitalization, surging to an $88.1 billion market cap. As a result, Solana flipped Binance Coin (BNB)’s $85 billion market cap, dethroning BNB as the fourth largest cryptocurrency by this metric. This performance fueled investors’ bullish sentiment on the cryptocurrency, with some market watchers predicting a bullish wave towards Q1’s highs. Is SOL Getting Ready For $400? Solana was deemed one of the strongest cryptocurrencies during Q3’s market retraces, holding above its breakout levels while most altcoins struggled. Following last night’s performance, crypto Trader Koz called SOL’s chart “one of the absolute best-looking charts out there.” The cryptocurrency’s surge above the $180 mark represents a breakout from an 8-month consolidation range that started after Solana hit its yearly high of $202. Similarly, World of Charts considers SOL as ‘looking more bullish than before.” The analyst noted that the cryptocurrency finally broke above the upper line of a bullish flag pattern after nearly breaking above it in late October. World of Charts suggested that after the successful breakout, a massive bullish wave is around the corner. To the analyst, this wave could ultimately send Solana’s price toward a new ATH of $400. Moreover, crypto analyst Jelle highlighted the breakout, stating that SOL is ready to retest the yearly highs.

However, it is key that Solana holds the $180 mark to continue its bullish ascend, as a rejection from this zone could see SOL’s price pullback to the $160 support. SOL trades at $186.9, a 4.12% and 27.56% increase in the weekly and monthly timeframes. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com
Shiba Inu (SHIB), the second-largest memecoin by market capitalization, has seen an 8% daily surge following Bitcoin’s surge to $70,000. Amid the market volatility, the token is trying to recover a key resistance level, which could propel the price to a 110% rally. Related Reading: Bitcoin Price Crash Below $70,000: What Does It Have To Do With Whales And The US Presidential Elections? Shiba Inu To See 110% Surge Soon Shiba Inu’s recent performance saw the cryptocurrency display red numbers in several timeframes. Following the market’s most recent pullback, SHIB retraced 13% to its lowest weekly mark of $0.00001632, registered on November 3. However, the token has bounced 12% from its lowest seven-day price, recovering the $0.000018 resistance level on Thursday. SHIB’s performance is seemingly fueled by BTC’s recent jump back to the $70,000 mark, which sent the memecoin above the $0.00001855 resistance before retracing. Moreover, the token’s daily activity increased 67% in the past 24 hours, seeing a daily trading volume of nearly $730 million. Some market watchers highlighted Shiba Inu’s recent performance, suggesting that the token is preparing for a massive rally in the coming days. Analyst Globe of Crypto stated that SHIB is looking positively to retest the resistance of the Descending Broadening Wedge pattern. Per the post, if the 1-day candle surpasses the $0.000019 resistance level, the memecoin could see a breakout from the formation. This zone was a crucial bounce level for Shiba Inu’s 136% rally in early March. As a result, the analyst considers that a successful breakout and reclaim of this level could start a “100-110% bullish wave,” which could propel the price toward the $0.000040 zone. Is $0.000081 The Next Big Target? Crypto analyst Javon Marks predicted a 351% surge toward SHIB’s all-time high (ATH) levels. The analyst noted that Shiba Inu broke out of a multi-month falling wedge pattern in early 2024, which sent the price toward Q1 highs. Since then, the memecoin moved within another multi-month falling wedge formation after registering a 70% correction from its year-high of $0.000043. SHIB broke out of this pattern around the end of Q3, kickstarting the token’s one-month 58% rally. Despite the recent market retrace, the analyst notes that Shiba Inu held above the breakout levels, confirming “a bull pattern with the RSI on the daily chart.” Marks considers that the memecoin’s next leg up is in its early stage, setting the rally’s target at $0.000081. Related Reading: PolitiFi Memecoins Soar: Trump-Themed Tokens Rally 30% Ahead Of US Elections Similarly, another market watcher shared his positive outlook for Shiba Inu’s price. Analyst Investing Haven suggested that SHIB’s current levels are not a cause for concern since “there’s “no long-term trend violation.” To the analyst, the memecoin’s levels to watch are between the $0.0000133-$0.00001444 prince range, as losing this support zone could signal a trend shift. However, Shiba Inu must reclaim the $0.000020 mark to continue its ascending trajectory. As of this writing, SHIB is trading at $0.00001828, an 8% surge in the daily timeframe.

Bitcoin market trend may be on the verge of a significant shift, according to a recent analysis shared by CryptoQuant analyst Percival. Percival described Bitcoin’s current phase as “chopsolidation,” a term used to describe a period of minimal directional movement where price consolidation occurs without a clear trend. This period, he suggests, may be drawing to a close, with an imminent market movement expected in the coming weeks. The Chopsolidations metric, as Percival notes, doesn’t predict the direction of Bitcoin’s next move. Related Reading: Bitcoin Long-Term Holders Offload Over 177k BTC: Is A Price Surge Or Correction Next? Instead, it assesses the exhaustion level of the current trend, helping to determine whether Bitcoin’s price is due for a reversal or continuation. Percival’s analysis highlights that while there are indicators of strength at various points, the market remains divided on Bitcoin’s next direction. So far, some investors believe that recent accumulation is sufficient to push Bitcoin past its all-time high, while others expect a more cautious upward movement or even a potential correction. Assessing Bitcoin’s Support Levels And Potential Price Rebound Percival’s analysis further points to two key periods in September and October where Bitcoin established notable support levels, marked by brief but significant price stability zones. These areas, which he identified as orange zones on his chart (shared above), served as points where Bitcoin’s price “reloaded” — essentially, zones where demand was strong enough to halt price declines temporarily. With the current price hovering near these support levels, Percival suggests that the market may find a new bottom if Bitcoin faces any short-term downward pressure. This support could create a foundation for upward movement in the weeks ahead. The Chopsolidations indicator, according to the CryptoQuant analyst’s breakdown, is showing signs of readiness for a strong trend based on weekly and monthly readings. Although he did not specify a particular directional bias, he noted that the current market strength could be enough to drive Bitcoin’s price upwards if additional demand or a favorable macroeconomic environment aligns with market sentiment. This trend could play out over the short term, where sufficient market activity might lift Bitcoin’s price. Bitcoin Continuous Struggle To Make A Major Move So far, Bitcoin’s price has continued to face a struggle to make a significant move, especially to the upside. Instead, the asset has seen a form of calmness in volatility following its recent decline below the $70,000 price mark. Particularly, at the time of writing, the asset currently trades for $68,721—a price region BTC has remained quite stable for the past 3 days since its most recent decline.

Bitcoin recent price movements amid the US presidential election 2024 have led to its price currently standing at around $69,092, following a drop below the $70,000 level last week. This relatively low volatility has marked a calm period for Bitcoin, allowing it to stabilize in the $68,000 to $69,000 range over the past few days. The steady price trend has prompted analysts to forecast possible upward movement, pointing to various technical patterns and indicators suggesting a potential rally. Related Reading: Bitcoin May Slide To $65,000 As Critical Support Level Fails – Details 30% Bitcoin Rally In Play Among the analysts forecasting bullish momentum for Bitcoin, a renowned crypto analyst known as Captain Faibik recently shared insights on X regarding a technical pattern called a “Descending Broadening Wedge.” Faibik highlighted that Bitcoin has completed a breakout from this pattern on a weekly chart and is now in a “retest” phase. A Descending Broadening Wedge is typically considered a bullish reversal pattern in technical analysis. The pattern forms as price action creates lower highs and lower lows within diverging trendlines, implying that the downward momentum may weaken. If the price breaks upward through the resistance, it can indicate that the asset will likely see a price surge. Faibik expects a successful retest of the recent breakout of this pattern from BTC and has set a midterm target of $88,000, forecasting a potential 30% increase in Bitcoin’s value by the end of the year. Bullish Divergence And Long-Term Holder Behaviour Alongside Faibik’s observations, another well-known analyst, Javon Marks, pointed to signs of bullish divergence on Bitcoin’s chart. In technical analysis, bullish divergence occurs when an asset’s price makes lower lows while a technical indicator, such as the Relative Strength Index (RSI), creates higher lows. This divergence can suggest a potential reversal as buying momentum begins to build. According to Marks, this divergence indicates that Bitcoin’s bulls may be preparing for a move, which could translate to regained dominance in the market. Marks’ view supports the possibility of an upward trend in the medium term, even if the short-term market conditions seem uncertain. Meanwhile, IntoTheBlock, a prominent blockchain analytics firm, recently reported interesting trends in Bitcoin’s holder’s balance metrics. Related Reading: Bitcoin Long-Term Holders Offload Over 177k BTC: Is A Price Surge Or Correction Next? According to their data, while long-term Bitcoin holders are currently selling, the scale of these sell-offs appears moderate compared to previous bull cycles. In prior cycles, long-term holders often sold more aggressively, signaling a peak in market sentiment. This time, however, the selling trend among long-term holders has been more restrained, which may reflect a cautious approach amid Bitcoin’s current market conditions. IntoTheBlock speculates that this cautious behavior could signal a shift in the cycle dynamics, potentially pointing to a new market phase for Bitcoin.

The Bitcoin price action has sparked renewed interest among analysts and investors as the cryptocurrency approaches a major event (the US election) later in November. A CryptoQuant analyst known as CoinLupin recently provided an analysis on the CryptoQuant QuickTake platform, focusing on Bitcoin’s Market Value to Realized Value (MVRV) ratio, a metric often used to gauge Bitcoin’s value compared to its on-chain fundamentals. With macroeconomic factors creating uncertainty in the crypto markets, CoinLupin shared insights on the significance of MVRV for evaluating Bitcoin’s current market position. Related Reading: Mt. Gox Stirs Market with 500 Bitcoin Transfer to Unknown Wallets—What’s Next for BTC? MVRV And Historical Cycle Peaks The MVRV ratio, currently around 2, indicates that Bitcoin’s market value is approximately double its on-chain realized value, reflecting the average price paid by all asset holders. CoinLupin explained that the key lies in observing trend changes within the MVRV ratio over time rather than fixating on this absolute value. Using the 365-day Bollinger Band for MVRV along with the 4-year average—a common reflection of Bitcoin’s cyclical trends—the analyst noted that the MVRV ratio is currently above the long-term average and recently exceeded its 365-day moving average. According to CoinLupin, this suggests that Bitcoin’s upward trend remains intact. CoinLupin elaborated on the potential significance of Bitcoin’s MVRV levels, particularly regarding historical cycle peaks. In previous cycles, Bitcoin has typically peaked when the MVRV ratio is between 3 and 3.6. While Bitcoin’s current MVRV of 2 does not yet approach this peak range, the upward trend in the MVRV indicates that the market may still have room for growth if historical patterns hold. Should the Realized Value (RV) remain constant, CoinLupin’s analysis projects that Bitcoin would need a price increase of around 43% to 77% to reach an MVRV level between 3 and 3.6. This translates to a potential price target range of $95,000 to $120,000, provided market conditions support upward momentum. However, the analyst also noted that the Realized Value could increase as new buying interest emerges, potentially pushing peak valuations beyond these estimated levels. Bitcoin Market Performance After several weeks and days of building momentum to surge past the $70,000 resistance, Bitcoin has again fallen below this price mark, indicating that there might not be enough momentum yet to move further to the upside. So far, the asset has declined by nearly 1% in the past week. However, BTC currently trades for $68,306, recording a slight increase in price by 1% as its 24-hour high remains at $69,317. Interestingly, despite the slight dip in price in the past weeks, Bitcoin’s daily trading volume has registered an increase over this period.

Just hours away from the US presidential elections, PolitiFi tokens have seen a remarkable boost. The sector has experienced a nearly 10% surge in the last 24 hours, with Trump-themed memecoins leading the way. Following the recent performance, some investors forecast a massive rally for these tokens in the coming days. Related Reading: Is The Bitcoin Bull Market Over? Analyst Reveals Bear Case That Could Send Price To $28,000 Trump-Themed Memecoins See 30% Jump The PolitiFi sector gained popularity after several memecoins inspired by US politicians registered a massive performance earlier this year. Some tokens had their market capitalization break above the $100 million mark, with a couple still holding the feat. Memecoins inspired by the former US President and Republican candidate Donald J. Trump have led the sector throughout his presidential campaign. The tokens recorded massive rallies this year, hitting their peak during Q2. Cryptocurrencies like MAGA (TRUMP) and Doland Tremp (TREMP) hit the $17 and $1.5 marks, respectively, as their all-time high (ATH), fueled by Trump’s crypto-friendly statements. However, most of these cryptocurrencies have retraced significantly since June, pulling back over 70% in most cases. Now that the elections are just hours away, the PolitiFi sector is soaring again, surging around 10% in the last 24 hours, while the crypto market sees a 1.5% retrace. Memecoins themed after Trump held their lead, registering green performance during the past day. TRUMP has seen a 26% surge in the last 24 hours, trading above the $3.8 range. Meanwhile, MAGA Hat (MAGA) records a 32.6% price jump in the same timeframe, nearing a $90 million market cap earlier today. MAGA’s daily trading activity has also increased nearly 30%, registering a $41.7 million trading volume on the last day. PolitiFi Tokens In The Hands Of The Election The sector’s rally is seemingly fueled by the anticipation surrounding the elections. Notably, volatility is forecasted to peak in the following days as speculation about the election’s outcome increases. Some investors believe the PolitiFi token’s rally will continue in the following days, with Trump-themed memecoins expected to skyrocket in case of Trump’s victory. Just 10 hours before the election, the Republican candidate’s winning odds are considerably higher than the Democratic nominee, Kamala Harris. Polymarket’s live forecast shows that Trump leads the prediction market with a 15% gap. Following the presidential debate, the former president lost ground to the US Vice President in early September. At the time, the Democratic nominee surpassed Trump’s winning odds by 4%. However, these have seen a significant retrace in the last month. Related Reading: ADA Slips Below $0.3389 Level, Deeper Downtrend Looming? The Republican candidate regained his lead in October, recording a considerable 33% gap between his winning odds and Harris’. By the end of the month, Trump led the predictions market with a 66% chance of winning, which has now retraced to 57%. Amid Trump’s winning odds, the memecoins inspired by the US VP have recorded a considerable decrease in the past day. Kamala Horris (KAMA), the largest Harris-inspired token, retraced nearly 25% in the last 24 hours, seeing a 34% decrease in daily trading activity.

After recovering from the market retrace, SUI is trying to reclaim the $2 mark and break out from a bullish pattern. Some market watchers suggested the cryptocurrency will pull some “big moves” toward a new all-time high (ATH). Related Reading: Bitcoin Faces Fifth Consecutive Rejection At $72,000, Is Another Correction Coming? SUI Recovers From Halloween’s Correction As October ended, the crypto market saw a spooky correction led by Bitcoin’s drop below the $70,000 mark. Most cryptocurrencies experienced a significant retrace, with Ethereum and Solana bleeding around 5%. SUI, the native token of the Sui Network, joined the rest of the market and declined by 4%, losing its recently recovered $2 support. The cryptocurrency has been one of the best-performing tokens in the past few months, outperforming most of the market during Q3. Moreover, it recorded a 25% rise toward its latest $2.35 ATH two weeks ago. Following its rally to its ATH, SUI’s price faced an 18.5% correction, making investors and analysts forecast a longer consolidation time for the token. Earlier this week, the token followed BTC’s surge and eyed the $2.15 zone, which previously propelled the price toward its latest ATH. Nonetheless, the token reached the lower levels of the $1.90 support zone on Friday morning amid the market retrace. Today, SUI surged 9.3% from its $1.92 daily low to hit the $2.10 mark before retracing to $2.07. Some analysts consider the cryptocurrency is gearing up to “put in a big move” following the correction. Is A Retest Of The $2.35 ATH Looming? Analyst AMCrypto pointed out that SUI’s recent performance could target a breakout from a bull flag formation. Per the chart, the cryptocurrency displays this bullish pattern in the three-day chart, with the breakout target sitting at $2.05. The analyst stated that if SUI successfully breaks above the upper trendline, “it’ll pump towards its previous ATH.” Meanwhile, crypto analyst Altcoin Sherpa proposed two short-term outcomes for the token. Sherpa considers the cryptocurrency will test the ATH zone and pull back to the current levels at least once more in the coming weeks. He indicated the price could drop to $1.65 if it fails to hold the $2 support. However, it could also bounce from this level after the retrace and rally toward a new ATH of around $2.7 by year-end. Sherpa previously suggested that tokens with a strong September performance still have “a bit more pullback to go” with “plenty of bounces” before resuming their run. Related Reading: Analyst Says It’s ‘Time To Be Bullish On Ethereum’ As ETH Retests $2,700 Most of the market will experience volatility in the coming days as speculation and anticipation build up for the outcome of the US presidential elections, scheduled for next week. Analyst Michaël van de Poppe noted that most altcoins, including SUI, were in a correction period and explained how its retest of the $1.90-$2 support is “crucial for further upward momentum.” As of this writing, SUI is trading at $2.05, a 3.5% increase in the last 24 hours.

Bitcoin price has seen many cycles over the years, marked by distinct growth phases, peaks, and corrections. To better understand these cycles, a CryptoQuant analyst, using the pseudonym ‘datascope,’ has highlighted the relevance of the UTXO Block Profit/Loss (P/L) Count Ratio Model. This tool offers unique insights into the balance of profitability and losses among Bitcoin market participants, serving as a lens to examine potential price reversals. By focusing on various moving averages, this model tracks price fluctuations and shows how profitability shifts within the market over time, offering clues about when new market peaks might form. Related Reading: Is Bitcoin’s Bull Market Just Beginning? Leveraged Bets Suggest Big Moves Are Coming Predicting Market Peaks Through Profit And Loss Ratios Datascope’s analysis highlights the significance of short, medium, and long-term trends captured by 7-day, 30-day, and 365-day moving averages. This multi-perspective approach is valuable for long-term investors and short-term traders, as it distinguishes between shifts impacting immediate market movements and those affecting longer-term cycles. The model demonstrates that changes in the profitability ratio are critical for gauging market sentiment and potential price movements. As Datascope explains, a decrease in overall profitability ratios suggests that short- and medium-term trading strategies may now be more practical, responding to a market less defined by extreme long-term price swings. One of the key findings from the UTXO P/L model is the behavior of the 30-day profit and loss ratio relative to the 365-day moving average. Datascope noted that when the 30-day ratio rises above the 365-day average, it could signal a new price peak. In simple terms, crossing short- and long-term profitability lines indicates that investor sentiment is shifting towards more profitable conditions. Price increases have historically followed this occurrence as optimism fuels further buying pressure. For instance, the analyst pointed out that while economic conditions varied between 2021 and 2022, similar trends were observed in the model during both years, particularly in how the profit and loss ratio used the annual moving average as a resistance line. Datascope suggests that if the profit and loss metrics consistently stay above the annual average, Bitcoin may be on track to establish new highs. Bitcoin Market Performance Meanwhile, Bitcoin is seeing an increase in price following a recent correction that led to the asset’s price falling below $70,000 yesterday. Related Reading: Bitcoin Price To New ATH Soon? Analyst Who Called $72,000 Surge Reveals What Needs To Happen Bitcoin currently trades for $70,379, down by 0.9% in the past day.

Ahead of its monthly close, Bitcoin (BTC) has seen another unsuccessful attempt to reclaim the $72,000 resistance as a support level. Despite the drop, some analysts consider the cryptocurrency is still in a strong position for an upcoming breakout, setting the next levels to watch. Related Reading: Analyst Says It’s ‘Time To Be Bullish On Ethereum’ As ETH Retests $2,700 BTC’s Sweet 16 Party Turns Spooky Bitcoin, the largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, recorded an impressive rally in ‘Uptober,’ surging around 13% in the last 30 days. BTC’s price has jumped from the $58,900 monthly low to near its all-time high (ATH) price of $73,737, reaching the $73,300 mark on Wednesday. Following the green September close, the flagship crypto is set to have its best monthly close since March, potentially registering around 13$ to 14% in monthly returns despite its most recent price action. On its whitepaper’s 16th birthday, Bitcoin recorded a spooky 2% drop, driving the rest of the market to a red Halloween party. BTC’s price fell below the $71,000 mark, reaching an intraday low of $70,600. Meanwhile, the second largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, Ethereum (ETH), pulled back around 5.1%, losing the $2,600 support zone. Crypto analyst Ali Martinez pointed out that today’s drop is the fifth consecutive rejection BTC faces at $72,000. Since its ATH, Bitcoin has been rejected from this resistance level five times, dropping between 8.2% and 18% the four previous times. Analyst Altcoin Sherpa suggested that BTC could see a 4% to 5% dip if the largest cryptocurrency doesn’t hold the $70,000 support zone. Nonetheless, Sherpa considers that the cryptocurrency should “see some sort of bounce” from the $70,800-$71,400 area in the short term. BTC is expected to have an extremely volatile week ahead of the US presidential elections. Bitfinex analysts predicted that Bitcoin volatility will peak between November 6 and November 8, as speculation and anticipation about the election outcome affect the cryptocurrency’s performance. Is Bitcoin Gearing Up For End-Of-Year Breakout? Cryptoinsightuk weighed in on Bitcoin’s performance, noting that BTC is still at ATH by Open Interest (OI). The crypto investor considers that the Daily Relative Strength Index (RSI) could potentially “cross bearish” today. He also highlighted that $69,600 should work as a key support level for Bitcoin bulls but warned that losing the $66,500 range could be “messy” as BTC’s open interest would “flush.” Meanwhile, Crypto Kaleo posted a more bullish outlook for BTC’s price action. The analyst highlighted that the flagship crypto didn’t break above its ATH when it retested the $20,000 mark in 2020. Related Reading: Neiro Breaks Above Key Level Following 10% Weekly Drop, Is $0.0020 Next? Instead, Bitcoin initially pulled back nearly 20% during Thanksgiving, moving from $19,400 to $16,100. Moreover, BTC’s price accumulated within that range for 30 days before breakout, seeing the next leg up in late December 2020. The analyst pointed out the breakout happened 219 days after May 2020’s Halving. As Bitcoin is currently 194 days post-halving, the analyst considers that “a little bit of a pullback here isn’t any reason for concern.” As of this writing, Bitcoin has held the $70,000 support level, currently trading at $70,522.

Ethereum recent performance in the futures market is generating optimism among traders and analysts, according to insights shared by CryptoQuant analyst ‘ShayanBTC.’ As the second-largest crypto by market capitalization, Ethereum has garnered notable attention following an uptick in funding rates—a measure used to gauge the demand balance between buyers and sellers in futures contracts. Related Reading: Ethereum Holds Key Support To Set A $6,000 Target – Analyst Rise In Funding Rates To Drive Breakout? Positive funding rates imply that there are more aggressive buyers, indicating bullish sentiment, whereas negative rates suggest more sellers and a bearish outlook. This trend reflects a favorable market sentiment for Ethereum, albeit with some caution regarding its sustainability. Despite this renewed optimism, the current positive funding rates for Ethereum, as highlighted by Shayan are yet to match levels seen in early 2023, when the cryptocurrency experienced a marked bullish trend in March. This difference may indicate that, although sentiment is shifting, the momentum may need further strengthening to ignite a sustained rally. Shayan observations suggest that while traders lean towards a positive outlook on Ethereum, this sentiment must translate into higher funding rates to indicate a stronger conviction in the asset’s potential price rise. The analyst wrote: For Ethereum to overcome key resistance levels and sustain an upward trajectory, a higher funding rate would signal increased buying interest and confidence from futures traders. Higher funding rates would not only confirm participants’ willingness to go long on Ethereum but would also add upward pressure on the price, potentially leading to a stronger and more sustained rally. Ethereum Market Performance Ethereum has seen a noteworthy recovery in price in recent weeks. The asset has recorded a price uptick rising to as high as $2,719 on Wednesday. However, following the asset reaching this price mark comes a noteworthy correction. Over the past day, ETH has decreased by 5.1%, shedding some of the profits in the past few days. At the time of writing, the asset trades at $2,550 from its 24-hour low of $2,548. ETH’s daily trading volume has also followed the same trend, dropping from above $24 billion on Wednesday to below $20 billion. Regardless of this performance, some analysts remain bullish on ETH.

The TRON network has been making a notable impact across altcoin ecosystems, regaining its position as the leading blockchain for transaction volume among major altcoin chains. According to a CryptoQuant analyst known as ‘Maartuun,’ TRON has shown substantial transaction dominance recently, handling roughly 43% of transactions across major altcoin blockchains as of October 30. This recent spike has pushed TRON to the top position for transaction processing in October, surpassing other major altcoin networks and highlighting its relevance in the current crypto market. Related Reading: Expert Picks 5 Altcoins To Watch, Declaring Arrival Of The Altseason After Three Years Deciphering TRON’s Transaction Dominance Data shared by maartuun reveals that in October alone, TRON processed approximately 230 million transactions, marking a significant activity surge. On October 24, the network peaked, handling 10.46 million transactions, around 25% higher than its 30-day average. This activity level reflects TRON’s increased usage, aligning with its performance in 2024, when it frequently led in transaction volume. However, between late August and early October, TRON’s transaction dominance slightly waned, with other networks experiencing temporary spikes in activity. TRON’s return to the forefront suggests the asset is reclaiming its crown and maintaining its status as a “highly utilized” blockchain network for altcoin transactions. The CryptoQuant analyst’s observations suggest that TRON’s current dominance in transaction volume is likely to persist. This trend is supported by historical data, showing that TRON has maintained strong transaction levels over extended periods. It is worth noting that the network’s current transaction share indicates a broader shift within the blockchain industry toward networks that offer scalability and low fees, essential factors for sustaining high transaction rates. TRON’s ability to handle many transactions daily sets it apart from many other altcoin platforms, adding to its appeal and supporting its adoption within various blockchain-based applications and projects. TRON Market Performance While TRON’s on-chain fundamentals appear to be doing well, the network’s native token (TRX) market price performance can also be said to have seen positive movements in recent weeks. Particularly following the ubiquitous price increase in the crypto market led by Bitcoin, TRX has followed the overall bullish trend, increasing by 5.6% in the past fortnight and 3.1% in the past week.

Over this period, TRX has faced a slight correction, falling from its 24-hour high of $0.1705 to a price of $0.1684 at the time of writing. While TRX’s price has seen an uptick, its daily trading volume seems to be recording an opposite trend. In the past few days, this metric has decreased from over $600 million seen last weekend to below $500 million. Featured image created with DALL-E, Chart from TradingView
On Wednesday, Ethereum (ETH) surged above the $2,700 mark for the first time in over a week, sparking a bullish sentiment among several crypto analysts. Some suggested that the second-largest cryptocurrency will soon break from the next resistance level and reclaim the $3,000 mark. Related Reading: Neiro Breaks Above Key Level Following 10% Weekly Drop, Is $0.0020 Next? Ethereum Retests $2,700 Ethereum surged above a key resistance level on Wednesday morning as most of the crypto market soared. The cryptocurrency rallied 3.1% toward the $2,700 horizontal level, hitting the $2,722 mark before retracing to $2,710. Over the past week, ETH hovered between the $2,430-$2,650 range after failing to hold its support. This performance worried many investors and market watchers, who have heavily criticized the crypto’s price action throughout the year. However, today’s jump represents a 5.6% increase in the weekly timeframe, which sparked a bullish sentiment among the community. Crypto trader CRG noted that Ethereum is testing a support level in its trading pair against Bitcoin (BTC) in a higher timeframe (HTF). Per the chart, ETH/BTC is retesting an HTF support at the 0.0377 level. The 0.023-0.040 zone was a crucial area between 2020 and 2021, with ETH’s all-time high rally starting after breaking above the upper line of this range. The trader suggested that Ethereum’s surge would be short-lived as the “King of Altcoins” has had a “disappointing” performance despite the spot ETH exchange-traded funds (ETF) approval. “ETH is like the toxic ex-gf that keeps you going back,” he jokingly stated. Similarly, crypto analyst Michaël van de Poppe remarked that it’s time to be bullish on ETH, suggesting that there’s a “massive bullish divergence” in the one-day timeframe of the ETH/BTC chart, while it was “popping up” in the three-day timeframe. Van de Poppe pointed out that the 0.051 area is the crucial zone for a trend reversal. ETH To Hit $3,000 In Two Weeks? Various crypto analysts have set the $2,800 resistance level as the next crucial zone if Ethereum successfully reclaims the $2,700 mark. Analyst Crypto Yapper pointed out that ETH has registered five consecutive green daily candles since bouncing from last week’s lows. To the analyst, if ETH breaks above the $2,800 horizontal level, the cryptocurrency will rally toward the $3,000 resistance level and potentially kickstart the altcoin season. Similarly, van de Poppe suggested that Ethereum will break above the crucial horizontal level in the next two weeks, as it took the liquidity at the $2,450 level and “ran back up to resistance.” According to the analyst, this could propel ETH’s price to $3,000 in November.

Nonetheless, it’s worth noting that the crypto market might continue facing high volatility over the next few days as speculation increases ahead of the US presidential elections.

The recent activity in Bitcoin price and demand metrics suggests a potential resurgence in market interest, which could lead to a renewed all-time high. So far, Bitcoin has recently achieved a significant price rebound, reclaiming a trading level above $70,000 after a sustained period of resistance just below this price mark. This uptrend follows a 5% increase over the past 24 hours, positioning Bitcoin for $71,933 at the time of writing. One factor influencing this rally is a heightened demand reflected in stablecoin movements, a metric often used to gauge market sentiment and potential buy-in for Bitcoin, CryptoQuant analyst BinhDang highlighted this in a recent post on the CryptoQuant QuickTake Platform. Related Reading: Bitcoin Hash Ribbons Flash ‘Buy’ Signal: Analysts See New Highs On The Horizon Stablecoin Supply Ratio Oscillator Reflects Demand Surge BinhDang highlighted that the Stablecoin Supply Ratio Oscillator (SSRO) has reached levels previously seen during Bitcoin’s lows, notably those observed in November 2022. The analyst noted: Since Bitcoin bottomed in November 2022, the 90-day and 200-day oscillators have seen lows similar to that bottom during the 3 months of Q3 2024. Notably, the SSRO tool, which gauges the ratio of Bitcoin’s market cap to that of prominent stablecoins like USDT, USDC, BUSD, and others, is a barometer for tracking Bitcoin’s demand relative to stablecoin supply. The oscillator measures the extent to which stablecoins, commonly used for Bitcoin purchases, flow into Bitcoin and thus signal purchasing interest. When the oscillator shows low values, as it did during Bitcoin’s November 2022 low, it implies that stablecoins are more likely to be converted into Bitcoin, increasing demand. This trend has resulted in Bitcoin crossing the $70,000 threshold, encouraging investor sentiment and speculation regarding potential future highs. New Bitcoin ATH On The Horizon? According to BinhDang, BTC could continue its upward movement if the demand holds steady and aligns with favorable macroeconomic data or upcoming election insights. BinhDang wrote: SSRO indicates high demands on the average quarterly data set (90d), breaking above the positive 2-points. If demand continues to sustain and the announcements and news in early November include some favorable macro and election data, a move to and break above the positive 3-points is possible. The analyst notes that a rise above the SSRO’s positive three-point level has coincided with strong bullish cycles in previous periods, specifically in January 2023, October 2023, and February 2024. While BTC has consistently seen increases in price over the past days touching nearly $72,000 today, the asset’s daily trading volume has been on the same trend.

According to Bitfinex, Bitcoin (BTC) volatility is set to intensify over the next week. A “potent mix” of geopolitical and macroeconomic factors has significantly influenced the flagship crypto’s performance, with anticipation for the outcome of the US election and Q4’s close setting a potential target of $80,000 by year-end. Related Reading: Neiro Breaks Above Key Level Following 10% Weekly Drop, Is $0.0020 Next? Bitcoin Volatility About To Reach Its Peak Crypto exchange Bitfinex’s recent report shared that Bitcoin’s price could hit $80,000 by the end of the year due to a convergence of geopolitical uncertainty, macroeconomic factors, seasonality, and the increasing influence of the “Trump Trade.” The report noted that, historically, global macroeconomic trends and geopolitics events influenced BTC’s price. As a result, the largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization has seen its price movements driven by the anticipated US Presidential elections. The potential outcome of the elections, scheduled for next week, has affected Bitcoin’s performance throughout the year. Both presidential candidates have acknowledged the crypto industry, with the Republican candidate Donald Trump becoming the sector’s champion after fully embracing Bitcoin and crypto. Trump’s pro-crypto stance increased the correlation between the Republican candidate’s winning odds and Bitcoin’s trajectory. Moreover, the “Trump Trade” narrative reflects “the market’s view of how BTC will fare dependent on the outcome of the election.” Per the report, this narrative has fueled Bitcoin volatility, with the flagship crypto seeing sharp intra-week corrections before rebounding. Last week, BTC saw a 6.2% pullback toward the $65,000 support zone before reclaiming the $68,000 mark again. Bitfinex analysts consider that this pullback might be the first of several “whipsaw price movements” ahead of the elections, affecting BTC’s short-term price as speculation and volatility increase. Additionally, option premiums and estimated daily volatility for the US stock market and Bitcoin are projected to rise significantly next week. The report noted that BTC volatility will peak between November 6 and November 8, when the Election results are expected to be delivered. Reportedly, the highest implied volatility (IV) is for the November 8 strike price “reaching up to over 100 vol for strike prices over $100,000 for BTC.” BTC Poised To Hit $80,000 In Late December The report noted that Bitcoin has shown strength despite the increasing volatility. The flagship crypto “has remained resilient” and held its ground compared to the September lows, surging around 30% from last month’s drop. Additionally, BTC closed September, which has historically been a challenging month for the cryptocurrency, with a 7.29% increase, the highest closing for the month on record. The crypto exchange’s report predicted that October’s close could be “less impressive” due to the volatility. Nonetheless, Bitfinex analysts suggested that Q4’s historically bullish seasonality will still favor a positive rally for BTC. Market positioning shows that end-of-year options have seen a considerable rise in call open interest over the last few weeks. Related Reading: Bitcoin Hash Ribbons Flash ‘Buy’ Signal: Analysts See New Highs On The Horizon BTC is expected to continue experiencing higher-than-average volatility and potentially see deep corrections in the coming days. But the market seems poised for a post-election surge above March’s $73,666 all-time high (ATH). Lastly, call options with a December 27 expiry and an $80,000 strike price have seen a steady build-up, suggesting that this target could be in reach by year-end. As of this writing, BTC is trading at $71,197, a $3.4% increase in the daily timeframe. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com
Despite Neiro (NEIRO)’s recent price drop, analysts and investors seem bullish on the memecoin. Some market watchers noted the cryptocurrency’s potential, suggesting the levels to watch ahead of the next bullish rally. Related Reading: If Dogecoin Breaks Above Key Resistance ‘We Could See A 25% Rally’ – Top Analyst Neiro Sees 10% Weekly Correction Neiro made the headlines three months ago after becoming an overnight sensation on the Ethereum Network. The memecoin was inspired by the newly adopted sister of Dogecoin’s inspiration, Kabosu. The cryptocurrency has registered a remarkable performance during October, jumping 30% month-to-date (MTD). Moreover, the token saw an impressive rally towards its all-time high (ATH) price of $0.0022 two weeks ago, surging 4,600% in 30 days. The memecoin’s bullish momentum also propelled its market capitalization (MC) near the $1 billion mark, reaching a $935 million MC on October 15, which fueled a bullish sentiment among market watchers. However, Neiro’s price has declined since its most recent rally, trading 31.5% below its ATH. The Shiba Inu-themed memecoin registers a 10.3% drop in the past week, hovering between the $0.00132-$0.00170 price range. Despite the price drop, analysts and investors remain positive above the cryptocurrency. Crypto Tony noted that the memecoin is another token that looks “really good” since the beginning of its bullish momentum in mid-September. The analyst pointed out Neiro’s potential, suggesting that a small pullback from its recent levels could be a good entry point for investors ahead of an upcoming rally. Is $0.0020 Or $0.0010 Next? Since its all-time high, the cryptocurrency’s chart has displayed a downtrend, forming a broadening wedge pattern in the lower time frame, according to trader CryptoBull360. The market watcher noted that a successful breakout above the upper trendline could trigger a 25%-30% bullish rally for the token. Another trader suggested Neiro’s “situation on the chart is messy.” The trader stated that the token needed to break above the $0.00165 mark to continue its bullish trajectory and recover its ATH levels. However, if Neiro is rejected instead, the token could see a 30% correction toward the $0.0010 support zone. The $0.00165-$0.00170 price range represented an important consolidation zone ahead of the token’s surge toward its ATH. On Monday morning, Neiro’s price jumped 13.3% toward the $0.00170 resistance level. The token moved above the pattern’s upper trendline, signaling a breakout from its biweekly downtrend.

Crypto analyst Sjuul from AltCryptoGems suggested that the memecoin’s recent performance has been better than expected. After “a longer manipulation” and reclaiming the $0.00150 level over the weekend, the analyst believes Neiro is ready to move toward higher resistance levels, potentially targeting the crucial $0.0020 mark again. As of this writing, Neiro is trading at $0.00151, a 4% drop in the daily timeframe. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com

Investment activity in digital assets surged almost throughout October, as crypto investment products, especially that of Bitcoin, experienced substantial inflows, according to the latest data released by CoinShares. Last week alone, global crypto funds attracted $901 million in net inflows, pushing the total for the month to $3.4 billion. Related Reading: Bitcoin Price Rebounds Above $67,000 As Whales Continue to Accumulate Bitcoin Dominates Inflows As Ethereum Sees Outflows According to CoinShares, out of the total fund flows recorded, Bitcoin-centric investment products captured the lion’s share of inflows, with $920 million in net additions over the past week. US spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) recorded $997.6 million in net inflows, led largely by BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT). Bitcoin’s dominance was notable, with blockchain equities and Solana-based products also seeing inflows of $12.2 million and $10.8 million, respectively. However, other Bitcoin-based products, including those outside US markets, faced some net outflows. While Bitcoin maintained strong inflows, Ethereum-based funds recorded net outflows of $34.7 million last week, signaling a decrease in investor interest. CoinShares reported that Ethereum’s price ratio to Bitcoin had fallen to its lowest point since April 2021, which could be contributing to this outflow trend. The data suggests that while Ethereum has seen gains in the past, investors are now focusing more on Bitcoin, possibly anticipating future regulatory clarity and further mainstream adoption with developments like spot ETFs. Regional Trends And Behind The Boom Geographically, US-based crypto funds attracted a substantial $906 million in net inflows last week. In contrast, other regions saw mixed results, with funds based in Sweden, Canada, Brazil, and Hong Kong collectively experiencing $29.1 million in net outflows. This difference highlights the United States’ growing role in shaping the global crypto investment market, especially as American firms like BlackRock and Fidelity expand their crypto offerings. According to CoinShares’ Head of Research, James Butterfill reveals that the we political climate likely influences the recent Bitcoin price movements and increase in inflows. He noted that Republican gains in the polls correlate with increased interest in Bitcoin investments. Related Reading: Bitcoin Stock To Flow Model Shows Price Is Ready For Next Phase Transition Above $100,000 This suggests that market participants may see a shift in political power as favourable to digital assets, potentially driving anticipation of regulatory reforms or even greater crypto acceptance. CoinShares report shows that the October influx represents roughly 12% of assets under management (AUM) in digital asset funds and marks the fourth-largest month for inflows on record. This brings the year-to-date total to $27 billion, almost tripling the previous high of $10.5 billion set in 2021. Featured imahge created with DALL-E, Chart from TradingView

Bitcoin (BTC) has recorded a remarkable surge in the past 14 days, nearing the $70,000 mark earlier this week. However, some market watchers shared their worries about the recent retraces, suggesting the cryptocurrency could face another correction ahead of the US Presidential election. Related Reading: Is The Cat Season Here? MEW Hits $1 Billion Market Cap After New ATH Bitcoin To Face Another Shakeout Soon This ‘Uptober,’ Bitcoin has recorded a 12% surge from its opening price, jumping from the $60,000 support level and reclaiming key resistance zones. In the last two weeks, BTC recovered 14% from the early October shakeouts, nearing a retest of the long-awaited $70,000 mark. The cryptocurrency faced major resistance after surging above the $69,000 zone, a level not seen since late July. After the unsuccessful retest, Bitcoin’s price faced a 5.3% pullback toward the $65,000-$66,000 range, failing to reclaim the $67,000 mark until Thursday. Based on BTC’s recent performance, some analysts consider that the flagship crypto is poised to face another correction in the coming weeks. Crypto analyst Altcoin Sherpa revealed he is unsure about where Bitcoin’s “extremely chippy conditions” are headed in the short term. Sherpa shared that the cryptocurrency could see one last shakeout “sometime in November.” He suggested BTC could face another pullback toward the $62,000-$64,000 price range around the time of the US Presidential elections, scheduled for November 5. However, the analyst believes that Bitcoin will continue its bullish rally after the shakeout. Another market watcher also forecasted another correction for BTC’s near future. Analyst Crypto King stated that BTC is set to close above $70,000 this week before facing rejection from the key level. Following the rejection, Bitcoin would retrace 8% toward $64,000-$65,000, which could propel altcoins to “start moving 5-6x from the current position,” according to the analyst. Is BTC Set For A Green Weekly Close? Despite the rainy forecast, other investors remain bullish on the flagship crypto. Crypto analyst Moustache set the $67,000-$68,000 range as “insanely important support levels.” To the analyst, if BTC’s price holds its support there, it will hit $70,000 soon. After Bitcoin jumped above the $68,000 resistance on Friday morning, Crypto Yapper noted that BTC broke out of a weekly bull flag and was “ready for an exponential move.” The analyst also asserted that the next horizontal level to break before the $70,000 test is $69,000.

Similarly, Rekt Capital pointed out that BTC’s old downtrend line is supporting, which serves as post-breakout confirmation. Per the post, the cryptocurrency would record a bullish weekly close above the $66,300 mark. The analyst also highlighted that if BTC closes above the $67,900 zone, It will register a “very bullish weekly close” ahead of October’s last week. At the time of writing, BTC is trading at $67,737, a mild 0.3% increase in the daily timeframe. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com
“Old noise” may be a new name for FUD, as Tether defends itself from a report in The Wall Street Journal about US government investigations.
Cat in a dogs world (MEW) has taken the market by storm after becoming the second cat-themed memecoin to hit a $1 billion market capitalization. The token joined POPCAT’s rally and reached a new all-time high (ATH) on Thursday, leading the whole feline sector. Related Reading: Web3 Automation Provider Ava Protocol’s Demand Surges 900% Ahead Of Token Launch MEW Hits Major Milestones Cat in a dogs world registered a significant 18.4% surge in the last 24 hours, propelling to a new ATH twice this morning. The cryptocurrency recorded its fifth ATH in the past two weeks, increasing over 95.2% and taking the memecoin sector by storm. After its surge to $0.01127, the cryptocurrency hit the long-awaited $1 billion mark, becoming the second cat-themed token to achieve this feat. As a result, MEW flipped Base Network’s token Brett as the tenth largest memecoin by this metric. MEW initially joined the memecoin’s top ten list back in Q2, ranking 8th among the dog-themed pack. It significantly retraced as POPCAT’s popularity grew, registering a 60% correction after leading the cat-themed sector during Q1. Nonetheless, the cryptocurrency has been on an uptrend for the past month after hovering between the $0.004-$0.006 price range during most of Q3. MEW’s rally this week seems to be fueled by the token’s listing on the Korean crypto exchange Upbit. Market watcher Crypto General noted the memecoin’s recent performance, revealing its next target for MEW. The analyst highlighted that the cryptocurrency has been “in a consistent uptrend from its launch, showing great strength and potential.” Crypto General expects parabolic surges in the coming days, suggesting that the cryptocurrency will target the $0.045 range for its price discovery period. As of this writing, MEW traders at $0.0112, 1.1% below its ATH. Has The Cat Season Arrived? Many crypto analysts have previously suggested that a cat-themed memecoin season was coming. Solana’s feline leader, POPCAT, recorded a new ATH on Thursday after hitting the $1.67 mark. The memecoin has registered an 82% growth in the last thirty days, becoming the first cat-themed token to achieve the $1 Billion market cap milestone a month ago. Alongside MEW and POPCAT’s remarkable rally, other cat-inspired memecoins have seen a notable performance over the past week. BNB Chain-based token Simon’s Cat (CAT) recorded a massive surge in the past week, nearing its all-time high price on Wednesday. CAT’s price skyrocketed 80.4% in the last three days following its Future Listing on the crypto exchange Binance.

Bitcoin recent decline has led to a slight pushback in investor confidence and increased anticipation within the crypto community, with many now craving a rally back above $70,000 more than before. Amid this, a new analysis suggests that although the Bitcoin market could be on the brink of a major breakout, it hinges on a major indicator that concerns new investors. Related Reading: Bitcoin’s Network Fundamentals Turn Bullish—Here Are The Details New Investors Hold the Key According to a CryptoQuant analyst, Avocado Onchain, new market investors could drive the next significant upward price movement. The analyst shared these insights on the CryptoQuant QuickTake platform, highlighting key data trends that point to a potential price surge. Avocado Onchain’s analysis focuses on “Unspent Transaction Outputs (UTXOs),” specifically those under six months old. UTXOs represent the amount of cryptocurrency that remains unspent after a transaction, and they can provide valuable insights into market sentiment. According to the analyst, the decline in UTXOs under six months has stopped and is now leveling off. Currently, only 8.6% of Bitcoin investors are at a loss based on the present price of the cryptocurrency. In past market cycles, when the decline in UTXOs halted and showed an increase, Bitcoin’s price often surged, marking the beginning of a new bull run. Bitcoin Historical Patterns And Market Sentiment The CryptoQuanat analyst further highlighted that the data from previous Bitcoin market cycles reveals a pattern in which the percentage of investors holding losses converged toward zero before significant price increases occurred. Avocado points out that in those instances, as the number of investors in loss diminished, new investors entered the market in large numbers, driven by rising optimism. This influx of new participants tends to trigger a sharp price rise as new buyers increase demand for Bitcoin and fuel further upward momentum. For Bitcoin’s price to reach new heights, the analyst suggests that market sentiment must shift more favorably. This positive sentiment is typically fuelled by the entry of new investors who tend to buy in when market conditions are improving. Related Reading: Bitcoin Profitability Index Hits 202%: Is This Enough For A Top? Avocado also highlights that these new investors often show increased interest when Bitcoin nears or breaks through its previous all-time high, leading to an “explosive influx” of new buyers. If Bitcoin’s current market conditions align with historical patterns, the cryptocurrency could be on the verge of a significant breakout. The CryptoQuant analyst further notes that while Bitcoin’s price has recently been in a downtrend, this leveling off of UTXO data is a key sign that could indicate a reversal. The analyst noted: If history repeats itself, the current price of Bitcoin could be seen as being on the verge of an explosive breakout. Featured image created with DALL-E, Chart from TradingView
