Bitcoin has recently begun to see a major recovery in its price, reclaiming the $66,000 mark earlier today. This sudden positivity in price performance has prompted debates on whether retail investors and newcomers have returned to the market. Although there has so far been speculation about increased retail participation, a detailed analysis reveals a more nuanced picture. Related Reading: Bitcoin Price Braces For Volatility Ahead Of Chinese Stimulus Speculations, Options Expiry A Closer Look At Retail Participation According to a CryptoQuant analyst, BinhDang, in a recent post on the CryptoQuant QuickTake platform, the trends among smaller retail groups show growth and stagnation in different areas, reflecting a complicated dynamic in the current market cycle. In the post titled “1 Year Change – From Plankton to Fish Addresses,” BinhDang broke down Bitcoin wallet activity into several categories of retail investors, including plankton (addresses holding more than 0 but less than or equal to 0.1 BTC), shrimp (holding more than 0.1 but less than 1 BTC), and fish (holding between 10 and 100 BTC). These smaller groups were analyzed because they better represent retail investors than larger wallet categories like whales or humpbacks, which tend to be dominated by institutional players or exchanges. One of the key observations made by BinhDang is that the growth in retail addresses is uneven, particularly among the smallest investors. The plankton addresses, representing individuals holding tiny amounts of Bitcoin, have shown almost negligible growth from 2023 to the present day. This starkly contrasts previous cycles, where significant price increases were accompanied by a sharp rise in the number of retail investors holding small amounts of Bitcoin. The analyst explained that this slower growth could reflect broader economic conditions, including the global decline in monetary flows over the past few years, which may have discouraged new entrants from investing in Bitcoin. Potential For Future FOMO In Bitcoin’s Bull Cycle The uneven growth in retail addresses points to a cautious return of retail investors to the Bitcoin market. However, there are still positive signs that the current cycle has room to expand. BinhDang highlighted the trend of retail investors, particularly those in the “fish” category (holding between 10 and 100 BTC), who have continued accumulating Bitcoin, suggesting that while smaller investors may be hesitant, more seasoned participants are preparing for the next phase of the bull cycle. The data indicates that while retail participation is not as strong as in previous cycles, there remains the potential for a final wave of FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) that could drive Bitcoin to new heights. The analyst particularly wrote in the post: So, the data suggests that future FOMO waves are still possible in this cycle. […] Based on these observations, I conclude there is still a basis to look forward to a final wave in this cycle. Featured image created with DALL-E, Chart from TradingView

After briefly rising above $63,000 in recent days, renewing investor’s hope on “uptober,” Bitcoin has once again dampened this excitement by decreasing to as low as the $60,000 region today. This unappealing performance has led to a CryptoQuant analyst, Aytekin, raising and sharing insight on an important question: “Is it reasonable to expect a final shakeout before the next big move?” Related Reading: Is The Worst Over For Bitcoin? Analyst Suggests Local Bottom May Be Here Bitcoin Next Move: Major Correction Looming? In a recent post on the CryptoQuant QuickTake platform, the analyst explained that Bitcoin is currently in a high open interest zone, having exceeded the critical $18 billion level. Historically, when open interest levels reached this point, major corrections followed. The analyst mentioned that the current market sentiment appears divided, noting: The market seems indecisive in many aspects, with some believing that the next big upside move is on the horizon, while others think BTC’s downward trend remains strong. A common belief is that BTC may need a final shakeout before surging to a new all-time high (ATH). Aytekin added that funding rates, though slightly above the 200-day simple moving average (SMA), suggest that long traders are still dominant. However, significant price corrections in the past often occurred when funding rates turned negative, which hasn’t happened yet. Aytekin concluded that, while a final shakeout might occur, the depth of the correction may not be as severe given the relatively moderate funding rates. BTC Price Outlook As Bitcoin has struggled to break through key resistance levels, its recent price action reflects ongoing market indecision. Over the past few weeks, Bitcoin maintained stability above the $60,000 mark, but failed to make a major move to reclaim $70,000. In the past 24 hours, Bitcoin has slipped by 2.9%, currently trading at $60,485. This decline follows the asset’s brief surge to $63,774 earlier in the week, which sparked optimism for a possible move toward the $65,000 and then $70,000 mark. Prominent crypto analyst Ali recently commented on Bitcoin’s price action, noting that Bitcoin is still trading within a “descending parallel channel.” According to Ali, the asset was rejected at the upper boundary of this channel, signalling the potential for further downside. “We might see a drop to the middle boundary at $58,000 or even the lower boundary at $52,000,” Ali noted in a post on X.

After the recent rejection at the upper boundary, we might see a drop to the middle boundary at $58,000 or even the lower boundary at $52,000.

As Bitcoin is currently still struggling to reclaim major highs, a recent analysis of its fundamentals has highlighted a possible buying opportunity for Bitcoin based on insights from the Non-Realized Profit metric. A CryptoQuant analyst known as Darkfost highlighted this metric’s importance in a recent post on the CryptoQuant QuickTake platform, mentioning what its trend means for investors. According to the analyst, the Non-Realized Profit metric offers a window into the unrealized gains or losses held by Bitcoin investors, which can influence future market movements. Related Reading: Bitcoin Investors Not Sold On Uptober As Sentiment Remains Neutral Understanding The Current Zone In Non-Realized Profits The Non-Realized Profit metric is often used to calculate the difference between the current price of Bitcoin and the price at which each coin was last moved, without accounting for coins that have been sold. High values in this metric suggest that investors hold significant unrealized profits, which could lead to increased selling pressure as they may choose to realize these gains. Conversely, negative values indicate that many investors hold positions at a loss, potentially signaling a market bottom and a favourable entry point for new investors. According to the CryptoQuant analyst, the Non-Realized Profit metric is mostly in the negative zone. This situation implies that many Bitcoin holders are either at break-even points or experiencing unrealized losses. Historically, such conditions have been associated with market bottoms, where the asset is considered undervalued. This scenario could present a strategic “opportunity” for investors looking to enter the market or increase their holdings. According to Darkfost, what sets the current market apart is that the unrealized profits have reached unprecedented highs compared to previous cycles, even while in the negative zone. This anomaly suggests that the ongoing market cycle may differ from past Bitcoin patterns. The analyst cautions that while this could lead to unique investment opportunities, it also introduces potential risks due to the deviation from established trends. Bitcoin Continuous Struggle Below $70,000 After briefly touching the $64,000 price level yesterday, Bitcoin has faced correction once again, falling back below this price mark—currently, the asset trades for $62,340, down by 1.8% in the past 24 hours. This decline in performance from Bitcoin appears to have also dragged the global crypto market cap along with it, with the overall market cap valuation of crypto currently down by 3.3% in the past day to $2.26 trillion. The plunge has had a severe impact on traders, most especially the ones on long positions. According to data from Coinglass, in the past 24 hours, 59,005 traders were liquidated, with the total liquidations sitting at $176.57 million. Related Reading: Bitcoin Price Forecast: This Week’s Trends And Historical Patterns For Q4 Out of the total liquidations, long positions account for $130 million, while short positions account for only $45.91 million.

A CryptoQuant analyst known as “caueconomy” recently published a post indicating that Bitcoin (BTC) may have reached a local bottom. The analyst points to a significant liquidation event as a key sign that a short-term recovery could be on the horizon. Although caueconomy acknowledged that Bitcoin has been going through a period marked by bearish price sentiment and technical indicators suggesting potential further decline, the analyst also highlighted that emerging signs may indicate a stabilization in the asset’s price. Related Reading: Bitcoin Miner Selloff Is Calming Down: Green Sign For Rally To Continue? How Is BTC Long Liquidations Suggesting Local Bottom? The post by caueconomy on the CryptoQuant QuickTake platform titled “Liquidation of long positions may have established a local bottom” sheds light on how long-position liquidations in the futures market could influence Bitcoin’s price. Caueconomy elaborates that in the face of notable price declines, long contracts bought on future exchanges tend to experience sharp reductions due to mass liquidations. This process, in turn, diminishes the selling pressure that often exacerbates price drops, potentially setting the stage for a recovery in the asset’s price in the short term. On October 1st, over 4,000 BTC long positions were liquidated, marking the second-largest liquidation event of 2024 based on data compiled by CryptoQuant. The analyst mentioned that such significant liquidation events often indicate potential market reversals or local bottoms, as the selling pressure from these positions is removed from the market. However, caueconomy points out that it is crucial to keep a close eye on the buying strength to gauge whether it can offset the decline and facilitate recovery. The analyst advises that although the current range may be sustained in the short term, the potential for upward movement is contingent on renewed buying interest and market activity. The analyst concluded in the post: At this point, the price is likely to sustain the current range in the short term, but it will be necessary to watch the buying strength to be able to recover the decline. Is there Any Sign Of Buying Interest In Bitcoin Currently? So far, Bitcoin appears to be seeing a gradual rebound in price registering a 3.5% increase in the past day to reclaim the $62,000 mark. At the time of writing, the asset currently trades for $62,238. This increase in BTC has been reflected in the overall crypto market, with the global crypto market cap now up by 2% in the past day to a current valuation of 2.26 trillion. Meanwhile, a renowned crypto analyst known as Ali on X recently reported a form of Bitcoin buying interest ongoing on an exchange. Related Reading: Is Bitcoin On The Brink Of A Reversal?

Aptos (APT) soared over 10% in the last 24 hours following Aptos Labs’ acquisition of HashPallete. The token is leading the market after becoming the largest gainer among the top 100 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization. Related Reading: Bonk ‘In Prime Position For Turbo Green Week’ As Price Recovers Key Level Aptos To Expand Its Presence In Asia On Thursday, Aptos Labs, the developer of the Aptos network, announced it had agreed to acquire the Japanese Blockchain developer HashPallete, the company behind Japan’s Palette Chain and a subsidiary of HashPort Inc. The agreement aims to become a “game changer for Japan and the Aptos ecosystem” as the integration with the Japanese blockchain is set to strengthen its presence in the Asian market: Japan has long been a hub of technological innovation, and it’s no different when it comes to blockchain. The country’s unique blend of advanced tech and widespread blockchain adoption makes it a model for Web3 initiatives globally. Today, we’re making one of our boldest strategic moves into this market with our agreement to acquire HashPalette Inc. As part of the acquisition, HashPort Inc. will migrate the Pallete Chain and its subsidiary’s applications to the Aptos Network. The Japanese chain will also have access to the Aptos ecosystem’s security, scalability, and developer tools. The migration is expected to be completed by early 2025, in time for the EXPO2025 DIGITAL WALLET. Moreover, Aptos Labs partnered with HashPort to support local developers, NFT creators, and enterprises by “continuing to build blockchain solutions (…) using Aptos Network’s infrastructure.” APT Leads The Crypto Market Following the announcement, APT’s price saw a daily 11% surge, jumping to the $8.66 resistance level before retracing to the $8.51 mark. This performance crowned the token as the leading crypto amid the market retrace. APT is among the few cryptocurrencies recording green numbers in most timeframes among the top 100 tokens by market cap. The altcoin registers a 7.5% and a 41% increase in the weekly and monthly timeframes. Additionally, its daily market volume soared 41.7%, reaching a $769.6 million trading volume in the last 24 hours. The token’s performance was highlighted by several crypto analysts, who considered that APT has the “most interesting chart” at the moment. According to Yuriy from BikoTrading, the cryptocurrency looks strong as the rising trading volume and the price performance “signs for continued growth.” The trader noted that APT’s price held above the key resistance zone amid the market retrace, which sent the token above Q3’s range highs. Similarly, crypto trader Osbrah stated that APT has been “secretly climbing its way to the most interesting alts charts.” He pointed out that, after October 1’s market sweep, the token had a “clean bullish retest” above the $8 mark. To the trader, the next big resistance is at the $9 mark, which could send APT’s price to the $7.95 support zone if it fails to reclaim it. Meanwhile, another market watcher suggested that the altcoin’s performance could be close to a breakout. Related Reading: Analysts Unfazed By Bitcoin (BTC) Drop, But Should We Fear October 5? Per the post, SUI and APT moved in a “catch-up trade” path for the past year, moving closely together until SUI decoupled in early 2024. This led to a 44-day lagging period for APT before it followed SUI’s movements. After that, APT rose 98% to its yearly high of $18.8 in mid-March. Now, APT has seen a 32-day lagging period after SUI decoupled again in September, showing “incredible amounts of strength.” Based on this, the analyst suggests that the cryptocurrency could follow SUI’s trajectory and kickstart a massive rally in the next two weeks if history repeats.

Bitcoin has been experiencing some interesting developments in its market indicators, and a recent analysis points to the NVT (Network Value to Transactions) Golden Cross signaling a potential short-term local top. According to a CryptoQuant analyst known as Darkfost, the NVT Golden Cross—a key metric used to determine market valuation relative to transaction volume—has reached a major level. Related Reading: Is This Bitcoin’s Last Big Drop? Expert Points To Key Indicator Local Top Spotted, What Next? The CryptoQuant analyst revealed that Bitcoin’s NVT Golden Cross has recently reached the 2.9 level, suggesting that the market cap, or price, of Bitcoin, may be outpacing its transaction volume. Particularly, Darkfost explained that a value above 2.2 indicates the possibility of reversing the mean, suggesting that the current valuation could be overextended. On the other hand, a value below -1.6 would indicate that the market is potentially undervalued. For context, the NVT Golden Cross compares the market cap of Bitcoin to the volume of transactions on its network, providing a measure of whether Bitcoin is being traded at a fair value. The signals become stronger when the metric moves deeper into its upper or lower zones. At a current value of 2.9, the indication is that Bitcoin may face short-term price resistance, possibly pointing to a local top at around $65,800, Darkforst revealed. The analyst adds that such levels can gauge potential long and short positions, especially when viewed alongside global chart trends and broader market behaviour. Bitcoin On The Verge Of Major Correction? While the NVT Golden Cross presents a perspective of potential market overvaluation, another CryptoQuant analyst, CryptoOnchain, offers additional insights by analyzing Bitcoin’s movement between exchanges. The recent data shows a significant outflow of Bitcoin from centralized exchanges. This trend of Bitcoin being withdrawn from exchanges is seen across all three key moving averages: 30-day, 50-day, and 100-day. The analyst revealed that such an outflow hasn’t been observed at this scale since November 2022. Notably, a decrease in Bitcoin held on exchanges can be interpreted in multiple ways. Firstly, it often suggests that investors move their assets to more secure storage, such as cold wallets, to hold rather than trade. Related Reading: Is Bitcoin On The Brink Of A Reversal? Here’s What This Key Indicator Suggests This behavior can signal confidence in the asset, as holders may expect its value to increase over time. With fewer BTC available on exchanges for immediate sale, the potential for downward price pressure may decrease, which could set the stage for a bullish momentum in the longer term. However, it can also indicate that traders prepare to exit their positions, anticipating a correction if they foresee market instability or overvaluation.

Dogecoin (DOGE), the meme-based cryptocurrency, has recently seen a sharp decline in price following a short rally to $0.12 last week. Amid this plunge in price performance, prominent crypto analyst Ali has identified key levels where its price needs to be reclaimed real soon, or there will be negative consequences. Related Reading: Dogecoin To The Moon? Trading Guru Sees A Bullish Breakout on the Horizon—Here’s Why Dogecoin: Reclaim $0.11 Or What? In a recent post on Elon Musk’s social media platform X, Ali highlighted the importance of the $0.11 price mark for Dogecoin, noting that approximately 60,210 addresses had purchased around 36.40 billion DOGE tokens at this level. He explained that these addresses represent significant support, and if the price remains below $0.11, holders might become increasingly inclined to sell their assets to mitigate potential losses. This selling pressure could accelerate DOGE’s downward trend. 60,210 addresses bought 36.40 billion $DOGE at $0.11! #Dogecoin must reclaim this level soon to sustain a bullish outlook.

So far, Dogecoin has been on a downward trajectory, losing a significant portion of its gains from its recent rally. Over the past week, DOGE has dropped by 10.8%. The decline has continued into the past 24 hours, with the asset shedding 4.2% of its value, currently trading at around $0.1019. This price drop has directly impacted DOGE’s market capitalization, falling from over $17 billion last Thursday to around $14.9 billion today. Alongside this, the 24-hour trading volume for DOGE has also seen a noticeable decrease, from $1.4 billion last Thursday to just above $1 billion. While many in the crypto community are panicking concerning this bloodbath, analysts have continued to share their outlook and remain optimistic. Related Reading: Dogecoin On-Chain Spike Triggers 180% Price Rally Prediction—What’s Next? For instance, Trader Tardigrade, a popular crypto analyst, in a recent post on X, suggested that the recent dip in Dogecoin’s price may be a “retest” of its descending trendline following a recent breakout. According to Tardigrade, Dogecoin’s relative strength index (RSI), which measures the magnitude of recent price changes, shows a lower low while DOGE maintains a higher low position. According to technical analysis, this divergence could indicate a possible trend reversal in favor of a bullish move. Tardigrade concluded the post with advice noting: “Understand the TA [technical analysis], and you won’t be shaken out.” Featured image created with DALL-E, Chart from TradingView

Bonk continues its bullish rally as ‘Uptober’ begins, sparking a bullish sentiment among investors after the recent fear of a major pullback. The memecoin sensation kickstarted its Q4 journey positively, reclaiming crucial levels, with investors and crypto analysts forecasting a green weekly close. Related Reading: SUI Sees 15% Weekly Surge Ahead Of Token Unlock, Can It Hit New ATH In October? BONK Closes Q3 With 13% Surge Bonk has seen a remarkable performance throughout the past two weeks, jumping 60% since September 15. The memecoin broke above the multi-month downtrend line after successfully reclaiming the $0.000022 resistance level last Friday, registering a 38% surge in the past week. Additionally, the dog-themed sensation closed the month 48% above its opening price, revisiting levels before August’s Black Monday. The token also saw a 13% increase from its Q3 opening, trading around $0.000025 as October started. This bullish price action propelled BONK’s price above $0.000026 momentarily before retracing back the $0.000024 support level, which some considered an extremely bullish signal for the token’s future price action. According to crypto trader Astekz, BONK’s monthly reclaim meant that “any consolidation” above the breakout level is “giga bullish.” Moreover, the token had a 13% increase in daily market activity in the past day, registering a daily trading volume of $795.3 million. Is A ‘Turbo Green Week’ In The Making? Crypto analyst Bluntz noted that, alongside all the strong memecoins, BONK had a “swift” recovery from the weekly dip following a “perfect abc pullback.” This performance put the memecoin “in prime position for a turbo green week,” which he further predicted after its Monday performance. To Bluntz, BONK is close to a breakout after spending three days of sideway moves. Additionally, the token reclaimed the 200-day Moving Average (DMA), which had been sitting above it for the past day. The trader considered that the token’s next parabolic run could be “sustained” and target the $0.000035 resistance level soon. Other market watchers echoed this sentiment, highlighting BONK’s strength throughout the recent dips. Another analyst noted that the memecoin has moved within a large symmetrical triangle since its March all-time high (ATH). The trader detailed that the token’s price is moving closer to the pattern’s resistance since forming a triple bottom at $0.000016. A breakout from the multi-month pattern could send the token’s price to a potential 70% rally toward the previous ATH of $0.000045. Additionally, some investors believe that the cryptocurrency could be positively affected by the market’s general performance this “Uptober.” Related Reading: WIF Bulls In Control As RSI Signals Strong Upside Potential Last October, the cryptocurrency started a massive rally that shredded two zeros from the token’s price, closing Q3 2023 at $0.00014, a 6,900% surge.

SUI has seen a 15% surge in the past week following its remarkable price action throughout Q3. The cryptocurrency’s performance continues to fuel investors’ sentiment, but some believe the upcoming unlock event could hinder its rally toward a new all-time high (ATH) next quarter. Related Reading: SUI Ready To Test $2 Resistance – Bullish Pattern Suggests New ATH Soon From ‘SUIptember’ To ‘Uptober’ In the past three months, SUI’s price surged 114%, moving from the $0.8 mark to the $1.75 price range. The cryptocurrency was among the best performers throughout Q3, registering green numbers while most tokens bleed during the market retraces. In August, the token saw up to 50% price surges amid the market downturns, registering a 73% recovery from the monthly lows and 14% from its opening price. This month, the token also saw a massive increase from September’s opening, registering a 119% surge in the last 30 days. Market analyst Crypto Bullet noted that SUI’s monthly candle is “absolutely phenomenal” as it has been retesting levels unseen since April and is sitting 20% below its all-time high (ATH) of $2.17. The analyst previously suggested that the cryptocurrency was poised to test and break its major resistance level of $2 in Q4, which is usually a bullish period for the market, and reach a new ATH around the $5 mark. During its 10% jump over the weekend, SUI tried to reclaim the $1.85 resistance but dropped to the $1.7 support zone as the market saw a 2.5% dip in the past day. Since the drop, the token has been hovering between the $1.70-$1.75 price range, recovering its levels from 24 hours ago. Sui Network Milestones Fuel The Token’s Rally The sentiment surrounding SUI seems fueled by the networks’ recent achievements. According to Artemis Terminal data, Sui Network surpassed all other chains in daily net flows on Monday, reaching $6.8 million in positive net flows in the past day. Comparatively, Ethereum and Solana registered $4.9 million and $3.4 million net flows in the last 24 hours. The network also had the second-largest daily inflows by chain with $10.3 million, only surpassed by Ethereum’s $35.8 million. Moreover, the chain reached the long-awaited $1 billion Total Value Locked (TVL) milestone on Sunday, less than two years after its Mainnet launch. Nonetheless, many investors and crypto analysts consider that the upcoming October unlock event could negatively affect SUI’s performance. The event will unlock 64.19 million tokens worth $112 million, increasing the cryptocurrency’s circulating supply by 2.4%. Despite the unlock, some market watchers consider the cryptocurrency’s performance will continue its bullish rally. Crypto analyst Bluntz recently called the token “a certified beast” due to its recovery from the dips. Related Reading: Solana Price (SOL) Holds Crucial Support Level: Is the Rally Still Alive? Bluntz noted that “every dip on 4h end up abc-looking and keeps trucking higher,” including the latest weekend drop. He suggested that the token is still in the “macro wave 3 still and hasn’t even had a wave 4 yet.” Per his chart, SUI’s wave three will target the $2 resistance level before retracing to the $1.65-$1.70 support zone in wave 4, setting the wave five’s target around $2.6. As of this writing, the cryptocurrency is trading at $1.76 and has outperformed the global crypto market in the past week, according to CoinGecko data.

Veteran commodity trader Peter Brandt recently drew attention to Dogecoin (DOGE), the largest meme-based cryptocurrency by market capitalization, suggesting a potential bullish breakout. Brandt shared a DOGE/USDT chart in a post on X, pointing to a breakout DOGE has recently achieved from a descending channel that the asset has been stuck in for over half a year. Related Reading: Dogecoin Eyes Bullish 50% Rally To $0.16, But Will A Crash Come First? Identified Bullish Momentum in Dogecoin The chart shared by Brandt further reveals that DOGE, which had previously been trading within a horizontal channel for roughly two years between July 2022 and July 2024, experienced fluctuations between a lower trend line of $0.05 and an upper level of $0.1181. DOGE peaked at $0.2100 in March before entering its descending pattern. Now, signs indicate that DOGE might be breaking free from this downward trend. Brandt emphasized that the longer-term chart for DOGE could be considered “constructive,” supporting his analysis with the encouraging message, “Get along little doggie.” So far, DOGE has been riding the positive wave seen in the broader crypto market. The asset’s price climbed 8.2% in the past 24 hours, trading at around $0.1235. While this upward trend aligns with the market’s general bullish sentiment, Brandt’s technical analysis suggests that DOGE’s breakout could signal the beginning of a more sustained upward movement. Other Bullish Indicators for DOGE’s Momentum Peter Brandt’s observation is not the only bullish sentiment surrounding Dogecoin. Another prominent crypto analyst, Ali, recently noted that DOGE appears to be showing strength. In an X post uploaded on September 26, Ali pointed out that DOGE has experienced a Relative Strength Index (RSI) and price breakout from multi-month downtrends. Furthermore, the asset has received a buy signal from the SuperTrend indicator. These developments indicate that momentum is potentially shifting toward the meme-based cryptocurrency. Before DOGE’s surge above $0.12 today, Ali had set specific conditions for a full-fledged bullish rally for the asset. These conditions included breaking the descending trendline of RSI on the daily chart and pushing past a resistance level of $0.11. #Dogecoin is gearing up for a bullish breakout!

Following the market’s recent pump, the leading cryptocurrencies have seen a remarkable performance. Bitcoin is trading above the $64,000 mark, while Ethereum (ETH) has surged 9% in the last week to consolidate above a key support level. Despite the bullish sentiment, some crypto investors remain cautious about ETH’s performance as the second-largest cryptocurrency faces the next crucial resistance level.

Over the weekend, the “King of Altcoins” surged from the $2,300 support zone to the $2,500 mark before reclaiming the $2,600 resistance level as the week started. Since then, the cryptocurrency has hovered between the $2,600-$2,684 price range, momentarily dropping below the key support level on Wednesday afternoon. Nonetheless, Ethereum has faced resistance today after recovering from the recent drop to $2,500. Market analyst Crypto Yapper noted that ETH had been “running into critical resistance on the Daily chart,” as it had been unable to break successfully above the $2,650 mark since Tuesday. This performance worried some investors, who considered that not breaking above this level could hinder the cryptocurrency’s run and send the price toward the previous support zones. However, Ethereum’s price jumped 1% in the last hour to trade above $2,650. As of this writing, ETH exchnges hands at $2,660, recording a 2.1% and 9.3% price increase in the daily and weekly timeframes. ETH To Reach New Highs In October? Crypto Trader Daan highlighted that Ethereum’s price made a higher low (HL) but has not been able to make a higher high (HH) yet. The trader noted that an HH would occur above the $2,820 mark, which was lost over a month ago, and it would signify a trend reversal for the cryptocurrency. This level corresponds with the horizontal level that kickstarted the February-March run to $4,090 after the breakout. Additionally, it coincides with the Daily 200 Exponential Moving Average (EMA) around that area, which makes it “an important level to watch.” A breakout above this mark could further propel ETH’s price toward the $3,000 resistance level. Julien Bittel, Head of Macro Research at Global Macro Investor (GMI), noted that Ethereum’s chart is “looking a lot like a 2023 redux.” Related Reading: Cardano (ADA) Reclaims Top 10 Crypto Spot, Analysts Set New Targets Per the Chart, the cryptocurrency’s current market structure resembles its 2023 movements very closely. A repeat of ETH’s previous bullish trajectory suggests that ETH’s price is about to break out and hit a new all-time high (ATH) mid to late October. Additionally, the chart shows that if it follows the same bullish trend, Ethereum’s price has the potential to reach somewhere between the $10,000 to $20,000 targets by Q1 2025, which would represent a 669% surge from its current price and a 300% jump from its ATH.

The Bitcoin community have been eagerly awaiting the start of a new bull market especially following the recent halving that occurred in April, however, according to a latest analysis from a CryptoQuant analyst under the pseudonym Onchained, that moment has not yet arrived and there is a reason. In the post uploaded on the CryptoQuant QuickTake platform, Onchained’s analysis focused on the Long-Term Holder (LTH) Mourad Ratio, a proprietary indicator that tracks UTXOs (unspent transaction outputs) held for more than six months. This ratio basically helps gauge market sentiment and accumulation trends among long-term Bitcoin holders, offering valuable insights into when BTC may enter its next bull phase. Related Reading: Bitcoin Held For Years Are Now On The Move, Is This A Signal For Caution? Stability In The Long-Term Holder Mourad Ratio One of the key indicators highlighted in the analysis is the stability of the Long-Term Holder Mourad Ratio. Historically, when this ratio remains stable, it suggests that the market is not yet ready for a significant upward movement. Onchained explained that a bull market typically begins only when the ratio starts to deviate negatively from these stable levels. Currently, data shows that the LTH Mourad Ratio is steady, signaling that Bitcoin’s bull run is yet to begin. This stableness in the ratio as revealed by the analyst, indicates that long-term holders are not yet driving substantial price movement in the market, and investors may need to exercise patience until more favourable conditions arise. For further context, the Mourad Ratio is calculated by dividing the Long-Term Holder Mourad Current Transaction Value (LTH MCTV) by the current Bitcoin price. This calculation provides insight into the average value of UTXOs aged over six months, giving a clearer picture of recent accumulation trends among longer-term BTC holders. Technicals Suggests Bitcoin Bull Run Is Not So Far While Onchained analysis has confirmed that Bitcoin bull run is yet to start, other analysts has turned to historical price chart to gauge when the bull run for BTC could begin from a technical perspective. Popular Bitcoin insight platform known as Bitcoin archive on X has recently highlighted that BTC is on the verge of making a “bullish cross-over on the 5-day chart for the first time in 230 days.” Related Reading: Analyst Warns Of Short Squeeze as Bitcoin Futures Market Heats Up According to Bitcoin Archive, the last two times this happened, BTC went up by 79% and 74%, therefore, should this repeat itself again, Bitcoin could surge past $100,000.

Popcat, the latest Solana-based memecoin sensation, has crowned itself as one of the best-performing cryptocurrencies in the market. The memecoin has stolen the spotlight following its 117% surge throughout Q3, outperforming other well-established tokens in the sector. The feline sensation has now consolidated as the first cat-themed memecoin to hit a $1 billion market capitalization, leading the market’s bullish run alongside tokens like Sei (SEI) and Worldcoin (WLD). Related Reading: Bitcoin (BTC) On Track For ‘Strongest September Performance’, Is $90,000 Next? POPCAT Hits $1 Billion Market Cap Status Memecoins became the leading sector during this cycle, with many tokens outperforming most altcoins over the last few months. At the front of the frenzy, dog-themed tokens like dogwifhat (WIF) stole the spotlight during Q1 and Q2. However, a feline rival is challenging its spot as Solana’s best-performing memecoin. Investors and market watchers have praised the cat-themed sensation’s performance over the past few months. Throughout Q3’s violent market retraces, POPCAT showed a remarkable performance, becoming the largest gainer among the top 100 cryptocurrencies several times. The memecoin’s price quickly bounced from its 55% pullbacks during the market crashes, recovering and surpassing its previous level each time. POPCAT’s price has seen a 117% surge in the past three months, driving its price from the $0.68 mark to a new all-time high (ATH). In the late hours of Tuesday, the cryptocurrency broke above the $0.97 resistance level set by its previous ATH. The memecoin continued its 21% jump towards the $1.08 level, its new ATH, before retracing to the $1.01-$1.02 price range. The surge propelled POPCAT’s market capitalization to the $1 billion mark, cementing its status as the leading cat-themed token and making it the first memecoin in this sector to achieve it. Following its remarkable rise, the token registers a 57.8% and 40.2% surge in the weekly and monthly timeframes. Its daily market activity also saw an 82% jump to a trading daily volume of $133.3 million in the last 24 hours. Investors See Further Price Potential Some crypto whales loaded their bags as POPCAT broke the $1 barrier. On Wednesday morning, on-chain data analytics firm Lookonchain revealed that a crypto investor recently repurchased the cat-themed sensation, suggesting that some investors feel positive about the token’s future performance. Per the post, the whale spent 8,644 SOL, worth around $1.29 million, to buy 1.3 million POPCAT over the past two days. The address bought 456,000 tokens on Monday before acquiring another 843,000 POPCAT when the memecoin hit $1. This whale had previously sold its POPCAT holding at a 45% loss over two months ago. The investor saw $611,000 in losses from selling its 1.69 million tokens. However, before the long-awaited surge to $1, crypto investor Trade4ddict noted that the POPCAT’s consolidation under the key resistance level was a strong sign for its potential bull continuation.

As of this writing, the memecoin continues to hold the $1 support level, exchanging hands for $1.01. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com

Cardano (ADA) has seen a remarkable performance over the week, surging over 10% and reentering the top ten cryptocurrencies by market capitalization list. Its recent price action has fueled a bullish sentiment among investors and market watchers, who believe the token might be near a rally toward $1. Related Reading: BNB Falters At $600, Paving The Way For A Deeper Pullback Cardano Breaks Out To Reclaim Top 10 Spot Cardano’s price has steadily declined after the March highs, registering a 42% drop in the last six months. During the Q1 rally, the token hit its highest price since 2022, reaching the $0.774 price range. Since then, ADA has nosedived to pre-rally levels, disappointing some investors and market watchers. The crypto community has repeatedly slammed the project for a “lack of appeal” to the broader public. Additionally, many have criticized ADA’s “underwhelming” price action. However, the token’s recent rally has sparked a bullish sentiment among some community members. Despite the early September market shakeouts, the cryptocurrency has registered a 10% surge from its monthly opening, seeing green numbers in the weekly and biweekly timeframes. Technical analyst Crypto Yapper noted Cardano’s recent performance. The analyst highlighted that ADA displayed a multi-month descending broadening wedge structure on its chart with multiple touch points on the top side and on the lower side. Inside this structure, the cryptocurrency displayed a smaller falling wedge pattern with its upper trendline being tested again on Monday. The analyst stated that the $0.35 was the first crucial resistance level for the token. Claiming this key zone and breaking out of the falling wedge pattern could create more bullish action and move the price toward the upper line of the bigger bullish structure. On Monday, Cardano’s token reclaimed the $0.36 range, a level not seen in nearly a month. The surge sent ADA’s price toward the $0.37 resistance level, turning the $0.375 price range into a support zone on Tuesday morning. The recent performance also pushed Cardano back to the top ten cryptocurrencies list after ADA’s market capitalization surged 6%, surpassing Tron (TRX) in the last 24 hours. Analysts See New Price Targets For ADA Today, Crypto Yapper noted that ADA broke above resistance as the cryptocurrency was creating a higher high on the daily chart. This performance “indicates a huge trend reversal for Cardano.” However, he pointed out that to break above the descending broadening wedge, the token must reclaim its second key resistance level at $0.39. If successful, the breakout could target the structure’s higher price range of $0.52. Related Reading: Bitcoin (BTC) On Track For ‘Strongest September Performance’, Is $90,000 Next? Other analysts also highlighted ADA’s performance and breakout, suggesting that the cryptocurrency has the potential for a 170% surge. Dan Gambardello pointed out, “Cardano just went through a phenomenal throwback to a colossal triangle pattern.” To the analyst, “If crypto is about to enter a green October, I anticipate ADA will reclaim $1 with haste.” ADA is trading at $0.378, a 6.2% and 12.2% surge in the daily and weekly timeframes.

Recent data from CryptoQuant has revealed that Bitcoin may be on the cusp of a significant recovery, supported by key on-chain metrics. Particularly, according to a CryptoQuant analyst under the pseudonym Darkfost, several indicators are reaching crucial support levels, signaling a “potential long-term bullish shift.” These metrics suggest that Bitcoin’s price could experience substantial growth as market sentiment turns more optimistic. Related Reading: Is Bitcoin Heading For A Bear Market? Analysts Weigh In On The Price Struggles Key On-Chain Metrics Pointing To Recovery One of the primary indicators the analyst highlights is the 7-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) of the Fund Flow Ratio. Currently at 0.05, this metric has historically acted as a major support line. When it reaches this level, it often marks the end of a bear market or signals the beginning of a new bullish phase. The fact that the Fund Flow Ratio is now showing a slight rebound, according to data revealed by Darkfost suggests that investors are becoming more active on exchanges, a positive sign for Bitcoin’s future price trajectory. In addition to the Fund Flow Ratio, the 30-day SMA of the Estimated Leverage Ratio is another key metric showing signs of recovery. The leverage ratio, which has formed a support range between 0.15 and 0.175, is trending upwards. This indicator measures the use of leverage in Bitcoin trading, and a rise often indicates increased market confidence. Darkfost highlighted that the approval of futures exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and recent developments in Bitcoin options trading would contribute to the “growing influence” of this metric. Another critical metric Darkfost outlined is the 30-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) of Binary Coin Days Destroyed (CDD). This indicator tracks the movement of long-term Bitcoin holders, and when it rises sharply, it usually signals the “end of a bull market,” according to the CryptoQuant analyst. This metric fluctuates between 0.1 and 0.3, indicating that long-term holders are accumulating Bitcoin. Notably, this trend suggests that seasoned investors are positioning themselves for potential future gains, which could further boost Bitcoin’s price in the coming months. Related Reading: Bitcoin To Outshine Gold By 400% By 2025, Veteran Analyst Predicts Bitcoin Positive Long-Term Outlook The analysis concludes with a focus on the long-term outlook for Bitcoin. The CryptoQuant analyst believes that the recent movements in on-chain metrics are a positive signal for Bitcoin’s long-term growth. His conclusion read: I prefer to observe on-chain data from a long-term perspective. These support levels and recent movements are very positive from a long-term standpoint. As revealed in the report, the support levels identified in the Fund Flow Ratio, Leverage Ratio, and Binary CDD all point towards the conclusion of the bear market, with increasing momentum building for a future bull run. However, the timing and magnitude of the potential price increases remain uncertain. Featured image created with DALL-E, Chart from TradingView

Solana (SOL) joined the recent crypto market pump after climbing 10% on Thursday. SOL’s price broke above a key resistance level, reigniting the bullish sentiment among investors and traders who believe the cryptocurrency is soon poised to reclaim higher targets. Related Reading: October To Remember: Descending Broadening Wedge Says Bitcoin Is Going To $90,000 Solana Breaks Above Key Resistance Level Following the highly anticipated US Federal Reserve (Fed) rate cuts, the crypto market rebounded 5% in the last 24 hours. Most cryptocurrencies have registered green numbers in the past day, recovering from their performance in the past few weeks. Solana, the fifth-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, regained momentum on Thursday after reclaiming a key level. The token had failed to break about the $140 resistance level throughout September, consolidating between the $130-$139 price range in the last few weeks. SOL had registered a 7% weekly drop by Wednesday, which alarmed many investors and market watchers. Some crypto analysts considered the token’s recent performance hinted at a possible correction that could drive the token’s price to a yearly low. Seasoned trader Peter Brandt suggested that the cryptocurrency could face a significant correction to the $80 support zone if it unsuccessfully continued retesting this resistance level. Nonetheless, SOL’s price recovered from its disappointing performance, jumping over 10% in the last 24 hours. The cryptocurrency moved past the $140 mark on Thursday morning, breaking out of a two-month downtrend. The price surge represented a 5.4% and 8.3% increase in the weekly and biweekly timeframes. Additionally, its daily market activity soared 81.3% in the past day, with a daily trading volume of $3.76 billion. Experts Set Next Targets For SOL Some analysts highlighted Solana’s performance, suggesting that the cryptocurrency is ready to aim for higher targets. Crypto analyst Jelle stated that, in the higher timeframes, Solana has performed considerably better than most altcoins. Other market watchers previously noted Solana’s strength since Q3 started. During the market retraces, the cryptocurrency was deemed “one of the strongest assets” after moving sideways while other tokens made new lows. Jelle highlighted that SOL’s price still held “all key support levels even though most altcoins are down >50% from the highs.” Effectively, Solana has remained above the $120 support zone since March, currently being 31% down from March’s highs. Related Reading: Will Bitcoin Bullish Swing Continue? Top Analyst Says Yes Similarly, crypto analyst Yuriy considers SOL’s recent performance has set the stage for a breakout above the $150 resistance level. However, he warned that bulls must hold the $138 mark, as failing to maintain this support could lead to a correction to the $120 level. The analyst believes a successful breakout will send SOL’s price to the $160 resistance zone next, potentially moving toward the $180-200 targets. As of this writing, SOL is trading at $143.3, a 12.2% increase in the last 24 hours. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com
