Bitcoin has been on a major upward trajectory, recently hitting an all-time high (ATH) of above $89,000. As this milestone was crossed, a notable trend emerged with short-term holders transferring their holdings to major exchanges, particularly Binance. According to CryptoQuant analyst Joao Wedson, this behavior suggests that investors with shorter time horizons may be positioning themselves to take profits, leading to potential selling pressure in the market. What To Watch Out For Wedson highlighted that the concentration of Bitcoin deposits to a single exchange like Binance is worth close monitoring, as it could impact liquidity and price stability on the platform, potentially reverberating through the broader market. Related Reading: Is Bitcoin Now Overheating? Key Metrics Reveal Crucial Insights For Investors The CryptoQuant analyst emphasized three areas for market participants to watch closely. First, tracking the flow of BTC to exchanges, especially Binance, can provide insights into the potential scale of selling intent among short-term holders. As more coins flow to a major exchange, the potential for market impact rises, making it crucial to gauge the extent of any impending sell-off. Second, the impact on price volatility is expected to be significant as concentrated selling or profit-taking on Binance could create sharp movements, providing both challenges and opportunities for traders. The final area of focus, according to Wedson, is anticipating potential price movements based on these inflows and understanding how they may influence the broader market’s behavior. Bitcoin Market Correction Imminent? Meanwhile, further insights were provided by another CryptoQuant analyst known as “caueconomy.” This analyst pointed out that Bitcoin’s breakout of its previous all-time high has initiated a price discovery process. With this milestone, the market has seen heightened open interest levels, with more than $16 billion added to futures positions over the past week. This surge indicates a rise in leveraged positions, which can lead to heightened risk of corrections in the short term. Related Reading: Bitcoin Buying Pressure Rises, But Here’s Why A Pullback Could Be Coming However, the analyst emphasized that the market’s underlying fundamentals appear much more strong this time around, suggesting that any potential short-term corrections could be viewed as natural adjustments. Rather than signalling a broader downturn, these corrections may offer buying opportunities for investors looking to enter or accumulate during periods of market pullback. Bitcoin trades for $86,441, which has increased by 2.3% in the past day. Notably, this current trading price marks a 3.6% decline from BTC’s latest achieved all-time high of $89,864 earlier today. According to renowned crypto analyst known as Ali on X, key support levels for Bitcoin to watch are between $83,250 – $85,800 and $72,880 – $75,520.

Bitcoin (BTC) has performed remarkably over the past week, surging 30% since the November 5 US election. The flagship crypto surpassed its March all-time high (ATH), recording a new high nearly every day for the last seven days. Bitfinex analysts noted that the market remains “relatively stable” despite increased speculative activity. Related Reading: Bitcoin Closing In On $80,000 For Record-Breaking Run After Trump Win Bitcoin ‘Fair Value’ Priced In At Higher Levels Following Donald Trump’s victory last Tuesday, the crypto market has seen a massive rally, surging to a market capitalization of $3.05 trillion. Bitcoin has led the post-election bullish run with a 30% price increase, nearing the $90,000 mark earlier today. According to Bitfinex Alpha report, the rally “highlights the positive reaction to the election outcome, with investors positioning themselves for potential economic stimulus and regulatory shifts.” During the March highs, BTC’s realized profit volume reached its peak of $3.1 billion. Since then, realized profit volumes have gradually decreased, “reaching an equilibrium.” As the report noted, there’s been a reset in supply and demand forces, which indicates, alongside the recent price surge, that “the market is now pricing in a higher ‘fair value’ for Bitcoin.” At the same time, the cryptocurrency continues its price discovery. Moreover, profit-taking above $70,000 has been significantly smaller than the past instances when Bitcoin traded above this range, despite a structural increase in profit-taking. Bitfinex analysts consider this to signal the “entry of a new wave of demand into the market,” backed up by Spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) buying post-elections. Additionally, it suggests that fresh investor interest “could drive further upward momentum in the near term.” BTC Enters ‘A New Phase’ The report highlighted record-breaking BTC ETFs’ inflows, around $2.28 billion in three days. This performance represented a significant increase from the pre-election de-risking, which saw the crypto-based investment products record their second-largest single-day outflows. According to CoinShares data, Bitcoin ETFs closed the US election week with $1.8 billion in inflows and started this week with $1.1 billion in positive net flow. This performance displays a resurgence in demand for the flagship crypto as the market adjusts to BTC’s new price levels. Bitfinex analysts explained that from March to August, there was significant supply and insufficient sustained buying pressure to absorb it. The recent demand surge suggests a notable shift as buying interest is “absorbing selling pressure at all-time highs and stabilizing market dynamics: Now we appear to be entering into a new phase where the volume of profit-taking when BTC hits an all-time high is notably lower, given the amount of fresh demand entering the market post-election. This demand is helping to absorb the minor selling pressure still present, suggesting a healthier market environment and potential for further upward movement. Related Reading: Solana (SOL) Records 3-Year High As Price Hits $220, Is $260 Next? Meanwhile, Open Interest (OI) in Bitcoin futures and perpetual contracts reached ATH, hitting $45.43 billion. The report explains that this signals an increase in speculative activity but details that the market remains “relatively stable” since OI and BTC prices “are in equilibrium at elevated levels.” Ultimately, Bitfinex anticipates some consolidation soon, with a potential pullback to $77,000. A correction toward this level would close BTC’s CME gap and strengthen Bitcoin’s position to climb even higher levels. As of this writing, Bitcoin is trading at $86,225, a 5% increase in the daily timeframe. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com
Ethereum has recently climbed to a major high above $3,400, reigniting enthusiasm among market participants and signaling a potential upward trend that may lead to a push above $4,000 toward a new all-time high. This optimism has been met with major speculation of ETH’s price from the crypto community and analysts, who are observing key indicators within the market to assess the asset’s trajectory. Related Reading: Ethereum Weekly Volume Hits $60 Billion As ETH Aims For Yearly Highs Ethereum Rise and Market Sentiment According to a report shared by a CryptoQuant analyst known as ‘ShayanBTC,’ Ethereum’s recent price performance, up by 35% in the past week, has been accompanied by positive sentiment in the futures market, providing a detailed look into potential short-term fluctuations. Shayan pointed out that the funding rates for Ethereum futures have remained positive, demonstrating strong demand and bullish sentiment among investors. Notably, positive funding rates typically indicate buyers are willing to pay a premium to hold long positions, which signifies market confidence. The analyst highlighted that this surge in positive sentiment was especially evident when Ethereum surpassed the $3,000 mark, reflecting a similar pattern observed during the March 2024 rally that culminated in a yearly peak. This pattern now raises questions about whether the current momentum can be sustained or if the market is vulnerable to sudden reversals, just as it did following a major rally earlier this year. What Is Expected While positive funding rates are a favorable sign of market interest, they can also indicate heightened risk when they become too elevated. Shayan particularly noted: Although positive funding rates generally signify healthy demand in a bullish market, elevated funding rates can be a red flag. The analyst cautioned that high funding rates may point to an “overheated” market, which could increase the likelihood of a long liquidation cascade if the price faces significant resistance or experiences even a modest correction. Elevated rates suggest that traders may be over-leveraged, creating conditions where a sharp pullback could trigger a wave of sell-offs as leveraged positions are liquidated. The CryptoQuant analyst further revealed that with Ethereum experiencing high funding rates in the current market climate, investors may need to “exercise caution and adopt strategies to mitigate potential risks.” Related Reading: Ethereum Could Be Set To Explore New Highs As On-Chain Metrics Light Up The analyst emphasized that with heightened funding rates comes an increased chance of market volatility. Rapid price movements could lead to liquidations, particularly if profit-taking or minor corrections unsettle the market. Meanwhile, Ethereum has breached the $3,400 price mark to trade as high as $3,424 earlier today. However, at the time of writing, the asset appears to have seen a slight correction with a current trading price of $3,289, albeit still up by 2.2% in the past day.

Solana (SOL) has seen a massive 35% weekly surge to a new year-high of $220, closing last week above levels not since in nearly three years. As the cryptocurrency soars and whales accumulate, some market watchers suggested SOL is poised to fly to new levels soon. Related Reading: Ethereum Weekly Volume Hits $60 Billion As ETH Aims For Yearly Highs Solana Hits Three-Year High Price Solana has been one of the best-performing altcoins this bull run, seeing a massive surge in the past year. The cryptocurrency recently flipped Binance Coin (BNB) as the fourth-largest crypto by market capitalization after nearing the $190 price range last Wednesday. Since then, Solana has broken past the long-awaited $200 barrier and reached a $100 billion market capitalization, cementing its title as one of the cycle’s leaders. Moreover, SOL’s surge above $200 represented a breakout from a 34-week accumulation zone, which saw the token’s price move between the $210 and $110 range. SOL closed its massive week with a 35.6% jump above $215, recording the fourth-largest weekly close in the token’s history. Additionally, Solana hit a three-year high price, challenging November 2021 levels. SolanaFloor noted that SOL has seen a 291% increase in the past year, as the cryptocurrency was trading at $56 on November 11, 2023. The token has also seen a massive 1350% surge from its price two years ago when it fell as low as $10 after FTX’s collapse. Solana’s recent performance has fueled investor and market watchers’ bullish sentiment, with large-scale investors seemingly preparing for SOL’s new highs. According to On-chain data firm Lookonchain, whales have been accumulating the cryptocurrency. The post highlights that an investor has bought millions of dollars in SOL tokens since October 22. On Sunday, the whale purchased another 7,500 SOL, around $1.57 million, raising its total holding to 257,599 SOL, worth around $56.6 million at the time of writing. SOL’s Pathway To $260 Following SOL’s breakout, some crypto analysts suggested that Solana is about to hit a new all-time high (ATH). Market watcher CryptoHornHair asserted that the token will soon enter price discovery mode like Bitcoin (BTC). BTC is leading the crypto market’s rally, registering a staggering 23% weekly surge and hitting a new ATH of $84,929 today. The analyst stated that Solana has “no resistance to be found on SOL above $216 until new ATHs.” Altcoin Sherpa also noted that Solana is near ATH territory, suggesting that the $260 target is around the corner. Similarly, Rekt Capital pointed out that the token is “technically well-positioned to repeat history with a move to $260 over time.” Related Reading: Bitcoin Price Blasts Through $82,000: These Are The Key Reasons The analyst considers SOL’s “momentous weekly close” and retests of the old $202 resistance as support has primed Solana for a surge to the ATH resistance levels. Per the post, the last time SOL performed a weekly close like this, it rallied to $260. At the time of writing, Solana is trading at $219.56, a 6% surge in the daily timeframe.

A recent analysis from BaroVirtual, a CryptoQuant analyst, offers a nuanced perspective on the current state of the Bitcoin market. According to the analyst, fluctuations in the Coinbase premium—a key metric that tracks the price difference between Bitcoin on Coinbase and other exchanges—can offer significant insights. Related Reading: Bitcoin ETFs See Historic Surge – Institutions Go Bullish On BTC With $1.38 Billion Record Inflows Retail Leverage And Premiums: A Double-Edged Sword Rising or elevated Coinbase premiums typically suggest intense buying pressure, indicating strong medium-term sentiment for Bitcoin. However, BaroVirtual warns that in the short term, these high premiums may present a double-edged sword, as they often precede a localized downward movement in Bitcoin’s price. This phenomenon stems from market dynamics, as high premiums reflect surges in demand that can lead to overheating. When this occurs in combination with a high volume of leveraged retail positions and an excessive number of long contracts, the risk of a market pullback increases. Notably, BaroVirtual pointed out that this scenario has been evident in some Asian exchanges, where traders’ aggressive positions and leveraged setups further amplified market vulnerabilities. The analyst’s observations extend beyond the Coinbase premium to the broader market context. When premiums soar, they signal strong demand and positive sentiment among investors. This can provide a floor for Bitcoin’s price, strengthening support levels and creating a bullish sentiment over the medium term. However, in the short run, the influx of highly leveraged retail positions can destabilize market balance, leading to sharp corrections. High leverage implies that even minor price swings can force liquidations, exacerbating downward price movements. The CryptoQuant analyst emphasized leverage dynamics’ major role in determining bullish trends’ sustainability. Retail traders’ aggressive positioning on some Asian exchanges reflects a growing risk appetite, which may lead to sudden market shifts if sentiment turns or if premiums dip. Bitcoin Nears $100,000 After previously trading just above $83,000 earlier today, Bitcoin’s price has now pushed further. So far, BTC has achieved a latest all-time high of (ATH) of $84,929 less than an hour ago. However, the asset has seen a slight correction with a current trading price of $84,929, at the time of writing. Regardless of this slight pullback, with the current bullish momentum in Bitcoin, it is evident that the asset could continue this rally and rise above $85,000 soon, bringing it closer to a six digit ATH of $100,000 and beyond.

Amid Bitcoin’s pursuit to hit the six figures all-time high (ATH), a CryptoQuant analyst known as aytekin, has shared a comprehensive analysis on tools to assess Bitcoin’s market temperature, focusing on distinguishing useful from potentially misleading metrics. According to aytekin, investors’ concerns often center around Bitcoin’s ability to reach new peaks and when it might experience a market top. To navigate these questions, he highlighted two charts he pays less attention to for gauging market sentiment: “open interest” and the “supply in profit” metric. Related Reading: Analyst Reveals Bitcoin Key Support Levels For Reaccumulation – Details Challenges With BTC Key Metrics The analyst elaborated that establishing a causal link between price and open interest remains challenging, as historical data indicates that price fluctuations tend to drive changes in open interest levels rather than the reverse. Furthermore, the analyst reveals that with the growth of futures markets and Bitcoin’s adoption, higher levels of open interest are anticipated in the coming years. Another metric aytekin views as potentially misleading is the “supply in profit,” which measures overall network profitability. This metric correlates with Bitcoin’s nominal price, often leading to extreme spikes above 95% in profitability during ATH periods. However, aytekin suggests that reaching new highs would be problematic if extreme profitability consistently triggered major sell-offs. Instead, he recommends considering how long these high-profitability levels persist, noting that historically, such conditions have lasted up to a year within broader market cycles. Credible Metric Suggests Overheating Bitcoin? In contrast, the analyst emphasized two metrics he finds valuable for tracking Bitcoin’s market sentiment: the funding rate and the Spent Output Profit Ratio (SOPR). The funding rate, which tracks the cost paid between long and short positions in futures markets, serves as a tool to identify “overzealous” market optimism. Aytekin believes monitoring this metric offers better insights than open interest for assessing market conditions. As of now, he notes that funding rates are not signaling extreme market behavior. The analyst reveals that the SOPR metric clarifies profitability trends, particularly when smoothed using a 30-day moving average. Aytekin highlights that profitability alone is not inherently risky unless it coincides with supply movements within the market. The CryptoQuant analyst reveals that current SOPR levels indicate a market that, while showing signs of profitability, does not exhibit symptoms of overheating. Related Reading: Bitcoin Could Be Ready For ‘Phase 2’ Of This Historical Bull Pattern Meanwhile, Bitcoin has been trading for $81,838, up by 2.4% in the past day.

Ethereum (ETH) registered a remarkable performance following Donald Trump’s victory in the November 5 US elections. The second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization has jumped 21.9% in the past three days, reigniting investors’ bullish sentiment for the crypto and ETH-based investment products. Related Reading: Ethereum L2 Project Spark Launches On-Chain Order Book On Fuel Network To Enhance Trading Ethereum ETFs See Third Best-performing Day Amid ETH’s price rally, spot Ethereum exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have recorded their best-performing day in 13 weeks. Launched in late July, ETH ETFs have seen a shaky performance in the past few months. The crypto investment products surpassed experts’ expectations during its first two days. However, ETH ETFs recorded massive outflows amid Q3 market retraces. Ethereum-based products saw their second-largest single-day inflow since launch during the early August correction. As the market recovered from the crash, Ethereum ETFs registered $98.4 million in positive net flows, led by Blackrock’s ETHA. Since then, the crypto products have struggled to break past the $20 million mark, only registering inflows above that range five times in three months. ETH’s current rally has seemingly improved sentiment around the cryptocurrency and the investment products based on it, as it has recorded a notable performance during the last two days. Ethereum ETFs recorded their best-performing day in six weeks, seeing $52.3 million in inflows on Wednesday. Meanwhile, the investment products saw their third-largest single-day performance on Thursday and their best day since August 6, with $79.7 million in inflows. ETH Rallies 16%, Is $3,500 Next? Ethereum has seen a massive 16.6% surge in the last seven days, jumping from the $2,500 support zone to the $2,900 mark lost mid-Q3. The “King of Altcoins” lost the $3,000 support zone in early August, recording a 23% correction during the market retraces. The cryptocurrency struggled to break past the crucial $2,800 resistance level, being rejected from this level for the past three months. However, Republican candidate Donald Trump’s victory in the Thursday presidential elections has given the whole crypto market a renewed push toward the second leg of the bull run. In the last three days, the flagship cryptocurrency, Bitcoin (BTC), has entered price discovery mode, setting its latest all-time high (ATH) at $76,800 on Thursday. Meanwhile, Ethereum saw its price move from the $2,400 range to near the long-awaited $3,000 resistance. Crypto analyst Rekt Capital noted that ETH’s recent performance filled its GME gap, which formed in early August. The gap saw ETH’s price go from $3,000 to $2,700 before crashing on August 5. Related Reading: Solana (SOL) Looks ‘More Bullish Than Before’ After Flipping BNB As 4th Largest Crypto Per the analyst, a weekly close above the current levels, followed by a retest, would confirm ETH’s breakout from the 3-month range. Moreover, reclaiming the $2,900 resistance would “set ETH up for a move to $3,500 over time,” which could further propel Ethereum’s rally toward its yearly high above $4,000. As of this writing, Ethereum is trading at $2,925, a 4.2% increase in the last 24 hours. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com

Bitcoin recent price movement of continuous uptrend has drawn the attention of market participants and analysts as it edges closer to creating a new all-time high, blasting through critical resistance levels. Amid this, a CryptoQuant analyst known as TraderOasis provided an in-depth analysis of Bitcoin’s market earlier today, suggesting the trajectory the asset could head to next. Related Reading: Analyst Predicts Bitcoin Bull Run: MVRV Metric Hints At $95K To $120K Target Analysis On Bitcoin Oasis explained that his previously outlined bullish scenario for the Range 0.5 structure had played out successfully, emphasizing the importance of Bitcoin’s previous all-time high (ATH) level as potential support. This level, represented by the blue line in his chart analysis (shown above), could be a critical marker for Bitcoin’s next phase, the analyst reveals. The analyst also highlighted the significance of the Coinbase Premium Index, which often indicates strong buying demand on Coinbase relative to other exchanges. Oasis noted that the bullish shift in this indicator was accompanied by an upward price move, marking an important resistance zone that Bitcoin needs to overcome to sustain its momentum. Furthermore, he pointed out that the open interest indicator, which tracks the total number of outstanding derivative contracts, was moving alongside the price. According to him, this is a positive signal indicating that market participation remains strong without signs of instability or excessive leverage. Rising Funding Rates And Exchange Netflow Observations TraderOasis also delved into another key metric: funding rates. These rates reflect the cost of holding long positions in perpetual futures contracts and can signal market sentiment. The analyst observed that funding rates had begun to rise again, suggesting that market participants are increasingly confident about further upward movement. However, he cautioned that this sentiment had not yet reached extreme levels that could indicate overheating or a potential correction. The analyst mentioned monitoring these levels is essential, as excessive funding rates often signal market tops or heightened volatility. Another aspect of analysis was the activity observed in exchange netflow for spot exchanges. According to Oasis, a significant sell-off was reflected in this indicator, which measures the net flow of Bitcoin into and out of exchanges. Given the potential for increased volatility, the analyst interpreted this as a signal to consider taking profits on long trades. This aligns with previous market patterns where high net inflows or outflows often foreshadow shifts in market sentiment and price direction.

Spark, a decentralized trading protocol, announced the first fully on-chain order book for the Ethereum ecosystem. Launching on Fuel Network, the project aims to provide solutions for some of the limitations in the Decentralized Finance (DeFi) landscape and offer traders fast, secure, and transparent trading with minimized state and reduced storage. Related Reading: Solana (SOL) Looks ‘More Bullish Than Before’ After Flipping BNB As 4th Largest Crypto Spark Brings First On-Chain Oder Books To The Ethereum Ecosystem Decentralized trading protocol Spark is launching the Ethereum ecosystem’s first fully on-chain order book, seeking to offer traders a “secure, efficient, and decentralized” experience. Per the announcement, the state-minimized order book will move execution fully on-chain to enhance transparency. Moreover, it’s set to reduce data storage and processing needs to ensure faster transactions without compromising security. The Ethereum L2 project aims to address the limitations of Automated Market Makers (AMMS) and Centralized Exchanges (CEXs). Despite being instrumental in DeFi’s growth, AMMs struggle to meet the “advanced demands of institutional traders in high-frequency and algorithmic trading.” Meanwhile, CEXs have been criticized for the lack of transparency and control expected in decentralized systems. The project argues that DeFi needs to use traditional trading mechanisms to attract institutional traders. As a result, Spark will introduce Central Limit Order Books (CLOBs) to tackle these limitations. CLOBs are trading mechanisms used in traditional stock markets to match all bids and offers according to time priority and price. With this implementation, Spark is set to provide better price discovery, faster execution, and deeper liquidity while maintaining security and transparency. Additionally, it seeks to offer “the precision and capabilities necessary for professional and institutional traders.” Vitali Dervoed, Spark’s CEO and co-founder, highlighted the importance of order books for institutional and retail traders who seek accuracy and transparency while controlling their assets: Order books are the backbone of professional, institutional, and advanced retail traders who rely on precise execution and transparency. Spark’s shift to on-chain trading represents a significant leap in eliminating the trade-offs associated with off-chain systems. With full visibility into order depth and liquidity, users are protected from risks like front-running and manipulation while enjoying the security of self-custody. Unlike centralized exchanges, Spark ensures users have complete control over their assets, making it an ideal platform for traders prioritizing security, transparency, and efficiency. A ‘New Era’ For Decentralized Trading? Launched in October, Fuel is a modular rollup operating system designed for Ethereum. After three weeks, it achieved a Total Value Locked (TVL) of $33.5 million. According to data from DeFiLlama, Fuel saw a 700% TVL increase in one day, followed by a 1200% weekly increase. Spark is one of the first dApps in the Fuel Network. The Ethereum Layer 2 project is powered by Fuel’s modular architecture, aiming to “push DeFi closer to mainstream adoption” with speed, scalability, and interoperability.

The projects look to build a “new era for decentralized trading” that unlocks “new possibilities for institutional-grade DeFi” and evolves the Ethereum landscape. Ultimately, Fuel Network’s CEO, Nick Sway, noted Spark’s launch as a vehicle to “push” DeFi boundaries: Fuel’s mission is to foster an environment where builders can push the boundaries of DeFi, and Spark is a testament to this vision. By leveraging Fuel’s powerful high-performance design, Spark introduces a new level of transparency and efficiency to decentralized finance through on-chain order book trading, setting a new benchmark for scalability and precision.

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.

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.

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.

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.
