Bitcoin flashed a short-term “buy” signal that previously marked the $49,000 and $74,000 swing lows, according to on-chain analyst Frank (@FrankAFetter), a quant at Vibe Capital Management. “Officially got the Oversold print on the short-term holder MVRV bollinger bands,” he wrote on X, pointing to prior occurrences during the “Yen Carry Unwind” around $49,000 and the “Tariff Tantrum” near $74,000, adding a third instance “Today – $108k. The metric in focus blends the short-term holder market-value-to-realized-value (STH-MVRV) ratio with Bollinger Bands to capture when newer coins trade at statistically depressed valuations versus their cost basis. In the chart Frank shared, the STH-MVRV Bollinger oscillator probed the oversold threshold that previously aligned with local exhaustion of selling. Related Reading: Bitcoin Mirrors Historical Pullback Ranges – Healthy Correction Or Trouble Ahead? More Reasons To Be Bullish For Bitcoin On a companion panel, the STH-SOPR gauge—spent-output profit ratio for coins younger than roughly 155 days—remains below 1.0, signaling that recent buyers are realizing losses into the tape rather than profits. “Short-term holders (top buyers) are in pain & realizing losses,” Frank noted, emphasizing that “STH-SOPR is not high!” Positioning has also turned cleaner in derivatives. “Longs got ‘delevered’ every day last week—that’s seven straight days of magic blue dots,” he said, describing persistent long liquidations and balance-sheet shrinkage among leveraged bulls. He is now “watching for the flip: when they give up and start shorting with leverage (exactly at the wrong time), providing fuel for a potential relief squeeze.” Macro context may be additive, in his view. “Gold hit new highs last week. ‘Gold leads, bitcoin follows.’ The yellow metal often looks around corners, and it might be sniffing out the debasement trade headed into 2026 as the administration stokes the economy for mid-terms,” he wrote, suggesting a potential catch-up dynamic if Bitcoin lags the move in bullion. Related Reading: Bitcoin Whale Dumps Billions For ETH, But $5 Billion Selloff Still Looms Risk markers remain clearly defined. Frank pegs the short-term holder realized price—an aggregate cost basis for recent coins—at $108,800. “If BTC breaks down below the short-term holder cost basis of $108.8k, it may want to investigate demand at the 200-day moving average, which sits at $101k.” That layered support map frames the oversold print as a tactical signal inside a still-intact longer-term uptrend, but it also acknowledges that violations of STH cost basis can extend tests toward the cycle’s primary trend gauge. Taken together, the confluence of these signals presents a strong confluence, according to Frank. Whether history rhymes again will hinge on spot demand emerging above short-term cost basis and on whether any shift toward aggressive shorting provides the fuel for a squeeze. As Frank summarized, “If we are in a bull market—and I believe we are—this is the kind of behavior that typically sets the stage for the next leg higher.” At press time, BTC traded at $111,382.

Chainlink (LINK) surged 3% to trade around $24 on Monday, marking a beginning of a strong performance in September despite a broadly cautious crypto market. Related Reading: No Fireworks, Just Grind: Bitcoin Could Drift To $1M Over 7 Years: Analyst The rally was fueled by two significant announcements: a landmark U.S. government partnership to publish macroeconomic data on-chain and Bitwise’s filing for a spot Chainlink ETF with the SEC. The U.S. Department of Commerce confirmed that the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) will now release critical indicators such as GDP growth and the PCE Price Index directly across blockchain ecosystems like Ethereum, Arbitrum, and Optimism. Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP), which already handled $130 million in transfers this week, will play a vital role in ensuring data reliability across networks. Government Data Goes On-Chain The ETF move positions Chainlink at the forefront of blockchain adoption by governments. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick believes that the decision indicates America’s growing commitment to digital innovation, noting that the first on-chain data point published was a 3.3% GDP growth figure. Analysts believe the integration of government data could revolutionize sectors ranging from automated trading strategies to decentralized finance (DeFi) risk management. Mike Cahill, founder of Douro Labs and a core contributor to Pyth Network, called the initiative “a new wave of transparency and innovation. By bringing trusted government data on-chain, Chainlink strengthens its role as a backbone for blockchain-based financial products, real-time prediction markets, and tokenized asset platforms. LINK's price trends to the upside on the daily chart. Source: LINKUSD on Tradingview Chainlink (LINK) Price Forecast From a technical perspective, Chainlink’s price action shows bullish momentum building near resistance levels. The token rebounded from $23 support last weekend and is now testing the $23.50–$24 resistance zone. A successful breakout above $25.50 could open the door for targets at $27.20 and $29.50, aligning with February’s highs. However, analysts caution that a failure to hold above $24.20 may weaken the short-term outlook, potentially pushing LINK back toward the $23.00 support area. Still, with institutional interest rising after Bitwise’s ETF filing and government adoption underway, sentiment around Chainlink remains notably bullish.

A cryptocurrency analyst has explained how Toncoin could be awaiting a 50% price move, based on a technical analysis (TA) pattern. Toncoin Is Coiling Inside A Symmetrical Triangle In a new post on X, analyst Ali Martinez has shared a TA pattern forming in the daily price chart of Toncoin. The formation in question is a triangle, which forms when an asset’s price consolidates between two converging trendlines. Related Reading: Bitcoin Finds Support At Short-Term Holder Cost Basis, But For How Long? Triangles can be classified into a few different types based on the slope of their trendlines. Triangles that have their upper line flat and lower line angled upward are known as ascending triangles. Similarly, a flat lower line creates a descending triangle. Beyond the two, there is also a third type. When the trendlines are approaching each other at a roughly equal and opposite angle, the pattern is called a symmetrical triangle. The triangle forming in TON’s price is closest to this type. In a symmetrical triangle, the asset’s consolidation gets narrower in a sideways manner as it travels across the channel, until it shrinks down to a point at the apex. Like other consolidation channels in TA, the upper line of the pattern is likely to be a source of resistance, while the lower one is that of support. A breakout of either of these lines can imply a continuation of the trend in that direction. In ascending and descending triangles, breakouts are more likely to occur toward the upside and downside, respectively. For symmetrical triangles, however, there is no bias toward any particular direction, with an escape being about equally probable both ways. Now, here is the chart shared by Martinez that shows the triangle that the daily price of Toncoin has been stuck inside for the last few months: As displayed in the above graph, Toncoin has been trading inside what appears to be a symmetrical triangle. The asset is already a decent part of the way into the channel, with it set to reach the end of it in just a couple more months. Generally, breakouts become more likely to occur the closer the price gets to the apex of the triangle. As TON’s consolidation is becoming quite narrow now, it’s possible that a move beyond one of the trendlines could occur in the near future. According to the analyst, a breakout from this pattern may result in a 50% move for Toncoin. Since this is a symmetrical triangle, this breakout could, in theory, be equally probable to occur in either direction. Related Reading: Bitcoin HODLers Spend 97,000 BTC—Biggest Move This Year For now, however, TON seems to be closing toward a retest of the lower boundary. If a retest occurs, it will be interesting to see whether support holds or if a bearish breakdown would occur.

Solana (SOL) has staged a recovery after testing support at $195, with traders closely watching the $205–$215 resistance zone. A decisive break above this level could open the door for a surge toward $225 and beyond. Related Reading: Bitcoin Mirrors Historical Pullback Ranges – Healthy Correction Or Trouble Ahead? Analysts highlight that technical signals are aligning with renewed buying pressure from whales and “shark” wallets, suggesting confidence in Solana’s medium-term trajectory. Despite volatility in August, Solana’s price has held above the critical $183–$190 range, forming a base for potential upside. Futures trading volumes exceeding $50 billion further underscore the renewed investor interest. Analysts argue that if momentum continues, Solana could push toward $250 before testing the psychological $300 mark. Alpenglow Upgrade Fuels Institutional Confidence The biggest catalyst behind Solana’s bullish narrative is its Alpenglow upgrade, a game-changing overhaul that has transformed network performance. Block finality has been slashed to 100–150 milliseconds, while throughput now exceeds 107,000 transactions per second (TPS), outpacing Ethereum and even legacy systems like Visa. Key innovations include Votor, an off-chain validation process that reduces bottlenecks, and Rotor, a stake-weighted relay system that cuts latency by 40%. Together, they solve long-standing institutional pain points around speed and reliability. Validator costs have also dropped dramatically, from $60,000 annually to just $1,000, improving decentralization while opening the door for high-frequency trading, tokenized settlements, and real-time DeFi applications. For institutions, the 20+20 resilience model, ensuring operations continue even with 40% validator failures, cements Solana’s reputation as a Nasdaq-grade blockchain infrastructure. With 99.6% validator approval, the upgrade positions Solana as one of the most robust and cost-efficient blockchains available. SOL's price trends to the upside on the daily chart. Source: SOLUSD on Tradingview Whale Accumulation and Solana Path to $300 Institutional flows are echoing the bullish momentum. Galaxy Digital recently moved $103 million worth of SOL to Coinbase, sparking speculation about shifting strategies. Meanwhile, hedge funds like Pantera Capital are preparing fresh allocations into Solana’s ecosystem, reinforcing confidence in its long-term growth. At the same time, “shark” wallets have quietly accumulated at key support levels, reflecting strong conviction in Solana’s long-term growth. Analysts caution that failure to clear the $215 resistance could trigger a retest of the $190 zone, but consensus remains that a breakout is likely if accumulation continues.

Shiba Inu (SHIB) is showing signs of a powerful comeback as fresh bullish signals emerge on the charts. A rare divergence pattern is fueling speculation of a massive reversal, with analysts eyeing a potential rally that could stretch as high as $0.000081. But can SHIB really sustain the momentum for such an explosive rally? Bullish Divergence Sparks Hopes Of A Reversal In a recent update shared on X, Javon Marks revealed that Shiba Inu has confirmed a bullish pattern through a regular bullish divergence on the MACD histogram. This technical development signals a notable shift in momentum that could mark the beginning of a major reversal for SHIB, with buyers slowly regaining control of the market structure. Related Reading: Shiba Inu Price Forms Double Bottom At Demand Zone — What To Expect Javon Marks further explained that this signal points to a possible 163% surge, which could lift SHIB back into the $0.00003 range. Such a move would not only signal renewed bullish strength but also mark an important recovery from the recent periods of consolidation and price weakness that have kept the token under pressure. The analyst also stressed that this projection may represent only the first leg of a much larger rally, suggesting that the token is preparing for a sustained upward move rather than a short-lived bounce. Looking further ahead, Javon Marks outlined an even more ambitious scenario for SHIB. If bullish momentum continues to build, the breakout pattern could fuel an extraordinary 570% run, potentially driving the price toward the $0.000081 target. Such a move would dramatically reshape SHIB’s long-term outlook, establishing it as one of the most aggressive rebound moments in the crypto market. Shiba Inu Key Technical Outlook Presently, the first significant resistance sits near $0.000017, a level that has acted as a barrier in recent sessions. A successful close above this zone could open the door toward $0.0000204, and potentially drive SHIB toward the $0.0000263 mark. Breaking through these levels would confirm renewed bullish momentum and could encourage further accumulation by buyers. Related Reading: How High Can Shiba Inu Climb In 2025? Analyst Gives Candid Outlook On the downside, SHIB has immediate support around $0.0000080, which aligns with recent lows. A deeper pullback could test the $0.0000065 region, where the 100-day moving average currently provides backup. If bears manage to push the price below this level, SHIB risks revisiting the $0.00000534 support area, which would likely increase selling pressure. For now, Shiba Inu remains in a wait-and-see zone. A decisive break above resistance could spark a bullish continuation, while failure to hold above near-term support might expose the token to further downside.
