A popular crypto strategist is leaning bullish on one Ethereum (ETH) rival, suggesting the altcoin has reached a market bottom. Pseudonymous trader Altcoin Sherpa tells his 242,800 followers on the social media platform X that Sonic (S) may be on the verge of breaking out after bouncing off of the 25-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA). Traders look at the EMA to determine whether an asset’s price is in an uptrend or not. If the price remains above the EMA, then the asset is likely going to remain bullish. However, he warns that an S uptrend may depend on whether Bitcoin…
A widely followed analyst says one decentralized finance (DeFi) token built in the Ethereum (ETH) ecosystem may be gearing up for a massive breakout. Pseudonymous analyst Credible Crypto tells his 466,000 followers on the social media platform X that Curve DAO (CRV) may increase more than 240% from its current value if it can break through a key resistance area. “For those looking to buy a dip on CRV, on lower timeframes, we are approaching a key level of resistance on both USD and BTC pairings. Identify this level (it’s easy enough to do on the four-hour chart) and understand…
A whale who previously won big on the Official Trump (TRUMP) memecoin booked a loss on the controversial asset over the weekend, according to the crypto tracker Lookonchain. Lookonchain notes on the social media platform X that the whale spent $5 million worth of Circle’s stablecoin, USDC, to buy TRUMP right after President Donald Trump posted “I LOVE $TRUMP” on his social media platform Truth Social. The whale then sold the TRUMP stash an hour later, booking a $207,000 loss. However, the loss pales in comparison to gains the whale made earlier this year when it spent 1.09 million USDC…

In a new thread, pseudonymous crypto trader Inmoral tells his 230,800 followers on the social media platform X that the crypto king will make a pit stop around the $85,000 level before shooting up to $100,000. “$90,000 > $85,000 > $100,000.” Source: Inmortal/X The trader’s chart indicates that the top crypto asset by market cap will once again cross into six-figure territory sometime in May. According to Inmortal, the $90,000 level…

LINK/BTC is trading…
Real Vision’s chief crypto analyst, Jamie Coutts, is leaning bullish on altcoins despite the prevailing bearish sentiment. Coutts says that sentiment is “so bombed out”, as evidenced by the ratio between the equal cap weight and the market cap weight of the top 200 largest altcoins by market cap, which is at a four-year low. According to Coutts, the ratio suggests that some altcoins are on the cusp of a bullish reversal. “Structural issues of investing in the asset class aside, where we are today are levels where, in the past, you start to see high-quality altcoins start to recover.”…
A seasoned crypto trader is warning that the current bounce in the altcoin market will likely be short-lived. Pseudonymous analyst The Flow Horse tells his 266,500 followers on the social media platform X that he thinks crypto is still bearish and the latest rally will probably lead to another leg down. According to the analyst, the current bounce has not changed the bearish market structure of crypto. “Bearish still on the high time frame until proven otherwise. I can’t see any reason why this isn’t a relief rally and markets won’t continue to suck the next few months. Chart is…
Digital asset management giant Grayscale says one layer-one blockchain is the best-positioned out of any to potentially steal market share away from Ethereum (ETH), the biggest smart contract platform by market cap. In a new report from Grayscale Research, the firm says Sui (SUI) provides “one of the highest throughput and lowest transaction costs of any single-layer network” without relying on additional scaling layers, as Ethereum does. Grayscale notes that Sui represents only 0.3% of its Smart Contract Platforms Crypto Sector by market capitalization. According to the firm, its Smart Contract Platforms Crypto Sector index includes crypto assets that serve…
