SUI is positioned for further upside, and backed by technical momentum and solid volume support. However, maintaining the price above the key moving averages will be crucial for the continuation of this bullish run. Volume Spikes Confirm Breakout Strength According to Gemxbt’s post on X, the SUI 1-hour chart is showing a strong uptrend, with the price trading above the 5, 10, and 20-day moving averages, which is a sign of short-term momentum and sustained buyer strength. Related Reading: SUI Prints Classic Reversal Setup With Triple Top Formation The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is approaching overbought territory, which warns of a potential short-term pullback and suggests that traders should be cautious of a temporary pause as the market digests recent gains. Meanwhile, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) is bullish with a widening gap between the MACD line and the signal line. This expansion often precedes continuation in trending markets and confirms that momentum is accelerating. Trading volume has increased notably alongside price movement. The rising volume during an uptrend suggests that the move is a genuine market participation. Analyst LORD ATU also stated that SUI is trading at $2.90 on the daily chart, with a solid 9.69% weekly gain, and showing clear signs of bullish momentum. The price action falling wedge pattern is typically a bullish continuation signal with a potential target at $3.20, and if confirmed with volume, a breakout will follow through. However, a bearish head and shoulders formation is also beginning to emerge, which is signaling a potential drop toward the $2.30 support zone, which is a level of prior structure and support. LORD ATU noted that the key levels to watch out for are the support at $2.88, which is a crucial short-term floor that must hold to maintain the uptrend, and resistance at $3.15, where a clear break could trigger momentum higher. The SUI ecosystem growth looks strong, with increasing development activity and solid fundamentals. However, an upcoming token unlock could introduce fresh supply pressure and volatility. Momentum Accelerates After Consolidation Phase Another Analyst, Profit Demon, also mentioned on X that SUI has completed a bullish flag pattern breakout on the 3-day chart, which is signaling a shift in market sentiment after a period of consolidation. This continuation pattern often marks the end of sideways movement and the resumption of an existing uptrend.

The crypto market has been on a tear in 2025, and the latest 99Bitcoins Q2 State of Crypto Market Report, authored by Manisha Mishra and sponsored by KCEX, lays it all out. The quarter saw institutional demand surge, Bitcoin ($BTC) hit a then-ATH of $111,980, and crypto hiring spike 753%. Despite the rally, the total market cap was still 12% below its $3.7 trillion peak, hinting at room to run. With stablecoin adoption booming and long-term holders stacking, Q2 may have been the real start of this cycle’s breakout. Read the full report here: State of Crypto Q2 2025 – 99Bitcoins A Record-Breaking Quarter for Bitcoin Bitcoin lit up Q2 with a 25.66% gain, smashing past resistance to hit a then-record $111,980 on May 22. That put it well ahead of gold’s 7.21% rise and most equity indices, marking a sharp reversal from Q1’s pullback. According to 99Bitcoins’ Q2 report, the rally was driven by institutional inflows, ETF demand, and growing sovereign interest, with governments now holding 2.5% of Bitcoin’s total supply. Meanwhile, spot ETF flows consistently outpaced miner issuance, tightening supply just as demand surged. Chris Wright of 21Shares summed it up: “We believe that Bitcoin ETFs will attract 50% more inflows this year compared to last year. This would result in net inflows of approximately $55 billion in 2025, representing an increase of around $20 billion year-over-year.” A golden cross in late May confirmed the uptrend, following a clean breakout from months of consolidation. It’s a textbook bullish structure. With price action and fundamentals in sync, Q2 marked the clearest shift yet: Bitcoin is back, but powered by institutions, not retail. Institutions Took the Wheel, Retail Turned to Altcoins According to the 99Bitcoins report, this bull run has a different driver behind the wheel. And it’s not Reddit. 9 out of 10 experts interviewed in the Q2 report said retail traders have shifted their focus to the best altcoins, chasing faster gains while institutions quietly accumulated Bitcoin. The on-chain data backs it up. Glassnode shows that 30% of $BTC’s supply is now held by centralized entities, with large players dominating inflows. Meanwhile, Google Trends reveals that retail interest in “Bitcoin” searches stayed surprisingly low throughout Q2, even as $BTC hit new highs. Confidence among long-term holders also climbed. UTXO activity dropped, and the amount of BTC in long-term storage kept rising. A sign that serious capital isn’t looking to sell anytime soon. Stablecoins and DeFi Picked Up Steam If Q2 proved anything, it’s that stablecoins aren’t just stable, they’re also scaling. The Circle IPO popped 168% on day one, marking the first stablecoin issuer to go public and signaling TradFi’s growing appetite for crypto exposure without the volatility. According to 99Bitcoins, 81% of crypto-aware SMBs now want to use stablecoins for daily ops, and the number of Fortune 500s planning to integrate them has tripled since last year. On the DeFi side, Ethereum ($ETH) held L1 dominance, Chainlink ($LINK) led dev activity, and $HYPE – the native token of Hyperliquid – saw serious traction, fueled by the DEX’s rise to 70%+ of all perp DEX volume. While others chased memes, HYPE rallied on actual utility. In short: DeFi’s still cooking, and stablecoins are fueling the fire. Memecoin Mayhem After tanking in Q1, the memecoin market bounced back slightly in Q2, though volatility stayed extreme and price action remained erratic. Q2 saw the meme coins hit new heights, with over 5.9 million new tokens launched and most of them churned out via pump.fun. It was chaotic, noisy, and pure degen energy. While most faded instantly, tokens like $FARTCOIN and $SPX kept riding the wave. That said, the surge in token activity came with a dark side: phishing and wallet-targeted hacks climbed, especially among memecoin holders. Regulatory Wins and Macro Shifts Driving Confidence If Q2 had a theme, it was relief on both the policy and economic fronts. The U.S. pulled back on crypto enforcement, scrapped IRS reporting rules for DeFi, and signaled a more constructive stance overall. Meanwhile, the Fed held rates steady for the fourth straight time, hinting at a possible cut in July. With unemployment flat and growth slowing, capital started flowing into safe-haven assets, and this time, Bitcoin was firmly on that list. The result? Confidence surged. Bitcoin ETF inflows accelerated, volatility dropped, and $BTC’s macro narrative strengthened. It’s no longer just a risk asset; it’s becoming part of the defensive playbook. Elsewhere, $XRP finally closed its long-running legal battle with the SEC, potentially clearing the runway for a new ATH later this year. What’s Next for Q3? Back in Q2, 99Bitcoins forecasted that if BTC could flip $111K–$112K resistance, the path to $120K would open, with $135K as a stretch target. Fast forward to now, and that prediction is aging well: Bitcoin is already trading at above $118K, edging toward that psychological milestone. The report also noted $BTC was holding firm above $103K support, forming a bullish structure backed by rising miner wallet balances, shrinking exchange reserves, and growing illiquid supply – all signs of confidence from long-term holders. Still, Q3 isn’t without risk. ETF inflows could slow, and macro headwinds, from global conflict to sudden rate hikes, remain on the radar. But if institutional flows stay hot and the Fed delivers a rate cut, $135K no longer feels like a moonshot. It’s just part of the next leg up. Final Thoughts: A Bull Market With Depth The 99Bitcoins Q2 report by Manisha Mishra paints a clear picture: this bull market isn’t built on retail hype. Institutions, regulatory tailwinds, and real product traction are powering it. From ETF inflows to stablecoin adoption and supply-side tightening, the signals all point toward a more mature, resilient crypto cycle. And with Bitcoin already pushing towards $120K, many of the Q2 projections are already playing out. If momentum holds, and macro conditions don’t throw a curveball, Q4 could be the real breakout.

Bitcoin’s price is holding firm despite growing chatter about the end of its market dominance. However, analysts are turning their attention not to Bitcoin’s price but to its waning market share as signs that altcoins may finally be ready to take center stage in what could become a full-blown altcoin season. A post on X has highlighted a specific breakdown structure in BTC dominance, which is linked to nine factors indicating that the altcoin season has begun. Technical Factors Showing Fall Of Bitcoin Dominance According to the analyst, Bitcoin dominance reached a peak of exactly 66% on June 27, 2025, a date he calls significant for its esoteric code 434 and its occurrence on a new moon. From a technical perspective, the 66% mark coincided precisely with the 0.786 Fibonacci retracement level, a region many traders consider a reversal zone. More importantly, several warning signals are flashing for Bitcoin traders. Related Reading: Altcoin Season Not Remotely Close, Bitcoin Dominance Still Too High: Market Expert Says The analyst’s post on the social media platform X features a few price charts to emphasize how the Bitcoin dominance might be fading, alongside nine factors. From a purely technical lens, the dominance chart looks increasingly exhausted. The first factor is the most recent highest monthly RSI in the history of the Bitcoin dominance chart. This event has created an overbought condition, and the next outlook is a possible crash of the RSI. The MACD, in fact, has already crossed into bearish territory. Furthermore, the histogram has turned negative, and the faster line has moved below the slower one, which is a classic signal of an impending downtrend. Another interesting factor is that Bitcoin dominance has now broken a key diagonal support line that held firm through much of 2024 and 2025, which is another possible structural breakdown. Fundamental Factors Show Strong Rotation Into Altcoin Pairs While the technical picture is deteriorating, the fundamentals are also stacking in favor of altcoins very quickly. The first fundamental factor is the importance of upcoming altcoin spot ETFs, which have the possibility to redirect institutional flows from Bitcoin into Ethereum, XRP, and others. Related Reading: Time To Forget Altcoin Season? Bitcoin Dominance At This Level Is This Only Hope ETFs such as the Spot XRP, Dogecoin, and Solana ETFs could rapidly increase inflows into the rest of the crypto market, similar to how Spot Bitcoin ETFs caused massive inflows into Bitcoin. The analyst also highlighted the likelihood of upcoming U.S. Federal Reserve rate cuts, which would tilt market conditions in favor of altcoins over Bitcoin. Momentum has also begun to shift in some trading pairs, particularly XRP/BTC and ETH/BTC, both of which are showing reversal signs from critical levels. The XRP/BTC chart displays repeated failed attempts to break above 0.0000215 BTC, a horizontal resistance that has now been tested five times on the daily candlestick timeframe chart. At the time of writing, the XRP/BTC pair has returned to this level yet again, and based on this pattern, any clean breakout here could confirm a decisive rotation into XRP. Likewise, Ethereum has begun to recover from long-term oversold conditions when measured against Bitcoin. The rounded bottom pattern forming on the ETH/BTC weekly chart shows a reversal from undervaluation, which in past cycles has caused substantial gains for Ethereum relative to BTC.

Related Reading: Bitcoin Moving With Stocks, But Ethereum’s Correlation Is Fading At the time of writing, Cardano trades at $0.74 with a 18% profit over the past 24 hours. On higher timeframes, the cryptocurrency records a 28% profit followed by XRP’s 20% gains over the same period. ADA's price trends to the upside on the daily chart. Source: ADAUSD on Tradingview Analyst Says Cardano Will Replicate a Historical Bull Run Unlike Ethereum and XRP, the Cardano price has been more consistent with its past performance. In that sense, analyst Ali Martinez pointed to the formation of a bullish pattern for ADA that could propel the digital asset above the critical level around $1. The analyst claims that the $0.55 support for Cardano has been a key support on high timeframes. The last time the cryptocurrency dropped to this level in April this year, as seen on the chart below, ADA was able to rise to over 55% and touched the $0.85 mark. ‘It’s happening again’ said Martinez while pointing at the bullish momentum driving Cardano since it touched the bottom of this parallel channel. If the cryptocurrency can sustain this drive, it is likely to touch its May highs before meeting critical resistance. ADA price trends to the upside after touching a critical support level, aiming for $0.82. Source: Ali Martinez via X ADA Could Trend Even Higher, Bullish Price Targets A separate analyst also took note of the Cardano price action and the way it seems to be mirroring past patterns. The analyst claims that Cardano is entering a critical breakout zone. However, unlike Martinez, the analyst is more bullish and believes the ADA price might rally as much as 212% over the coming weeks. The analyst placed a bullish price target for the Cardano price at around $1.7. Related Reading: Bitcoin 30-Day Average Funding Rate Drops – Bullish Setup Takes Shape The analyst stated the following while sharing the chart below: $ADA is now testing the 50-week EMA.

Source: MinswapIntern via X In the long term, the analyst expects to see ADA hit $5 driven by its recent announcements, including a partnership with Tx Pipe to accelerate developer growth in Argentina that is set to benefit the Cardano ecosystem. On this partnership, Charles Hoskinson, CEO of IO, said: Their team represents the best of what Argentina’s developer community has to offer, and together we are building a foundation for long-term ecosystem growth.

Sharing fresh insights on X, Crypto Analysis AI observed that Chainlink is maintaining its upward trajectory, but not without signs of fading strength, identifying $14.20 as a key level to watch. Holding above this level could preserve the bullish structure, while a breakdown might trigger a deeper pullback. Mixed Signals In Focus: Chainlink Short-Term Strength Vs. Medium-Term Caution According to Crypto Analysis AI, LINK/USDT is currently showing mixed signals, with a slight bullish bias in the short term but potential consolidation or pullback risks in the medium term. The 1H timeframe shows more buy signals, while the 4H timeframe indicates weakening momentum after a strong uptrend. Related Reading: Chainlink Consolidates Above Key Support – Bulls Eye $20 Range In the 1H timeframe, the following bullish signals are active: ADX (35.47, strong trend), EMA (EMA9 > EMA20), KDJ (buy), ICHIMOKU (buy), and TRIX (buy). At the same time, several indicators are flashing bearish signals, including MACD (histogram negative), PSAR (sell), and Keltner Channels (sell). Some metrics remain neutral, with RSI at 57.60 (not overbought) and OBV showing neutral. For the 4H timeframe, bullish signals include ADX (34.17, strong trend), MACD (positive histogram), and Supertrend (buy). However, KDJ (sell), SMI (sell), and Schaff Trend Cycle (overbought) are signaling possible weakness. RSI at 66.94 (nearing overbought) and neutral OBV further support a cautious medium-term view, which increases the risk of a pullback. Key Observations from Crypto Analysis AI note that short-term momentum favors bulls. However, medium-term indicators suggest exhaustion, pointing to the 4H RSI reading. Fluctuations And Consolidation Signal Caution Crypto Analysis AI reports that the current trend for Chainlink remains an uptrend, but is slowing. Looking at recent price action, Crypto Analysis AI observed that on the 1H timeframe, LINK fluctuated between $14.25 and $14.48, closing at $14.34. Related Reading: Chainlink (LINK) On Standby: Bitcoin’s Next Move Holds The Key Meanwhile, on the 4H chart, there was a strong rally from $13.50 to $14.49, which is now consolidating near $14.30 and $14.40. The analyst also mentioned that volume is declining in the recent 1H candles, which suggests weakening momentum. Crypto Analysis AI identified the following key resistance levels: $14.48 (recent high) and $14.65 (upper Bollinger Band, 1H). In terms of key support, he pointed out $14.20 (recent swing low, 4H), followed by $13.90-$14.00 (psychological support, 4H EMA20) and $13.50 (strong support, previous breakout zone). Outlining potential bullish scenarios, Crypto Analysis AI explained that if LINK holds above $14.20, it could retest $14.48 and $14.65. In a bearish scenario, a break below $14.20 may lead to a deeper correction toward $13.90-$14.00. Meanwhile, for a neutral scenario, Chainlink may continue to consolidate between $14.20 and $14.48 before the next directional move. Finally, Crypto Analysis AI flagged several cautionary signals: 4H RSI near 67 could trigger profit-taking while the MACD histogram is declining despite higher highs. Furthermore, there is lower volume on recent up moves, suggesting weakening demand. Featured image from Shutterstock, chart from Tradingview.com
