(SOL) solana - ATHThe all time high was reached for Solana and right now the price is retracing the previous break of an all time high. At $3000/SOL that would be a 10x gain from the ATH right now. Is the path of Solana into the future going to look similar to Ethereum one day? And if so, how much time will pass before the billions of dollars flow into Solana if the outcome is a continued growth pattern as we have already seen? Solana surpasses BNB, passes $100B mcap, and despite the loss of previous years most competitive programmers to other chains, the interest in meme tokens on SOL chain seems to sustain the interest. How is it possible the world is still fascinated by meme cryptocurrency more than any other sector? At the start of 2024 there was a simple note passed along by Coinbase that stated the Dog-meme frenzy was not going away so easily as a core of the cryptocurrency defi culture. By the end of 2024 a lot of other random memes were present on Coinbase. Average meme culture has sprung onto Coinbase, USA's main crypto exchange. The shift from adding Ethereum tokens to Coinbase became all about Solana tokens. What will the future bring during 2025? How much influence does Coinbase have over the sector of defi cryptocurrency investing? Is it time for Ethereum to reach a new ATH?

TradeCityPro | BCHUSDT Final Analysis of 2024👋 Welcome to TradeCityPro Channel!
Welcome to the last analysis of 2024! The Trade City Pro team is very happy to have been with you this year and, at your request, has resumed its activity on TradingView. Our first analysis dates back to 2021 on this platform. :)
🌐 Overview Bitcoin
Now let’s analyze Bitcoin Cash (BCH) together in the final hours of this year. But remember, tomorrow is the most holiday-packed day of the year, with about 60% of the world’s population enjoying their break, which means trading activity is expected to be low.
Before starting the analysis, as always, let’s take a quick look at Bitcoin. On the 1-hour timeframe, it has rejected resistance, and the RSI failed to enter overbought territory, returning to the 91830–95753 box. It’s likely that Bitcoin will range within this box tomorrow.
Alongside this rejection, Bitcoin dominance has been trending upwards, causing altcoins to experience deeper red candles on the last day of the year.
📊 Weekly Timeframe
On the weekly timeframe, BCH is one of those coins that is still bullish. It recorded higher lows in both 2023 and 2024 and has shown good performance. The $94.8–$138.2 range corresponds to Bitcoin’s $16k zone.
If you bought from lower levels, it’s reasonable not to make any moves for now and continue holding your position. You can consider withdrawing your initial capital and exiting below $302.4 if a weekly candle closes there.
Personally, I’m not entering this coin right now, but the $689.5 trigger on the weekly timeframe is a key level. After breaking this, BCH is likely to enter the overbought zone with higher volume. Therefore, taking risks and buying at $302.4 or $424.2 could be logical.
📈 Daily Timeframe
On the daily timeframe, after breaking through the daily resistance box at $369.8, which gradually lowered its resistance, BCH started its upward move and was rejected at $623.4, leading to the key support level of $432.0.
This support is very important as it can change the corrective momentum and enable BCH to test the highs again. If it breaks, BCH could drop to $369.8.
During the uptrend and box breakout, volume increased, which is a good sign. However, volume decreased during the decline, which is also positive. Still, today’s daily candle shows significant volume with an upper shadow, increasing the likelihood of further downside.
⏱ 4-Hour Timeframe
On the 4-hour timeframe, we see that volume is at its lowest, and trading activity is minimal. If you’re trading, open positions with lower risk.
At the $622.1 level, a fake breakout occurred. This is a trader-trapping strategy where, after faking a support or resistance, we look for the first breakout trigger on lower timeframes and open a risky position, as fake breakouts can sometimes reverse trends.
📈 Long Position Trigger
since BCH is at a relatively higher level than most altcoins, we can open one after breaking $453.6, but with a small stop-loss and quick profit-taking.
📉 Short Position Trigger
BCH is at critical support, and after breaking $431.2, there’s no significant support until $383.3, making it possible to open a short position. Just remember that market volume is very low, so trade with reduced risk and exit promptly when necessary. I’ll indicate whether to use a larger stop-loss like last month’s uptrend or not when it’s required.
📝 Final Thoughts
Stay calm, trade wisely, and let's capture the market's best opportunities!

BTC - This Christmas is NOT different!Hello TradingView Family, this is Richard, and I want to wish you all a Merry Christmas.
I hope you enjoy this Christmas-themed idea.🎄
💡Can you spot a pattern here?
As shown in my last two Christmas posts (attached to the chart), BTC broke out of consolidation and surged by around 70%.📈
I believe this Christmas will be no different.
For the next bullish wave to begin, a break above the orange zone is needed, which aligns perfectly with the $100,000 round number.
What do you think? Will this Christmas follow the structure of the past two years, or will it be different and lead to a deeper correction⁉️
📚Always follow your trading plan regarding entry, risk management, and trade management.
And Remember: All Strategies Are Good; If Managed Properly!
Merry Christmas Everyone 🎄

Market Year Wrap 2024: Key Highlights and Outlook for 2025Market Year Wrap 2024: Key Highlights and Outlook for 2025
The year 2024 has been a transformative period in the global financial markets, characterised by a mix of challenges and opportunities. Inflation battles, monetary policy shifts, economic uncertainties, and surprising bouts of optimism dominated the landscape. These forces created a volatile yet dynamic environment where some markets flourished while others struggled under significant pressure.
From central bank interventions to geopolitical developments and technological advancements, every corner of the financial world experienced notable activity. In this article, we will take a detailed look at the major trends and events shaping the global economy in 2024 and provide insights into what lies ahead in 2025.
Inflation and Interest Rates: A Balancing Act
In 2024, inflation showed signs of moderation globally. In the United States, it stabilised around 2.7%, marking a notable shift that bolstered market confidence and set a cautiously optimistic tone for the broader economy.
Throughout the year, rate cuts dominated monetary policy discussions. Following the unprecedented rate hikes implemented in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, major central banks began scaling back rates. However, they had to walk a tightrope between a complex landscape of lower but still stubborn inflation and resilient labour markets and the necessity for monetary easing. The magnitude and pace of these cuts varied significantly, reflecting differences in economic conditions across regions and creating complex relationships in the forex market.
Analysts widely anticipate that policymakers will adopt a more measured approach to easing monetary policy as 2025 unfolds. Most developed market central banks, excluding Japan, are expected to reduce interest rates to neutral levels by the year's end. However, if economic conditions deteriorate more than anticipated, there is potential for central banks to push rates below neutral to support growth.
The Fed, in particular, faces a delicate balancing act, as it must carefully navigate potential policy developments—such as trade tariffs—that may not ultimately materialise. At the same time, any resurgence in inflationary pressures could prompt a shift toward a more restrictive rate trajectory in 2025 and beyond, further complicating the policy landscape.
Forex Market: A Year of Divergence
Currency markets in 2024 were shaped by a combination of monetary policy shifts, economic recovery efforts, and political developments. The US dollar experienced a rollercoaster year, initially depreciating against major currencies as markets anticipated the Federal Reserve’s first rate cut since the COVID-19 pandemic. However, it rebounded toward the end of the year, influenced by post-election optimism and expectations of protectionist trade policies under the Trump administration.
The British pound demonstrated resilience throughout 2024, supported by the Bank of England’s patient and measured approach to monetary policy. Despite potential rate cuts, the pound maintained its strength, reflecting confidence in the UK’s economic fundamentals. In contrast, the euro faced significant headwinds. The ECB’s aggressive easing measures widened interest rate differentials with the pound and the dollar, weakening the euro. By the end of the year, trade uncertainty stemming from potential US tariffs weighed heavily on the euro, given the Eurozone’s dependence on global trade.
The Japanese yen experienced mixed fortunes, bolstered by the Bank of Japan’s decision to raise its benchmark interest rate to 0.25%, the highest level since 2008. This move provided much-needed support for the yen, although concerns about potential US trade policies created downside risks. Meanwhile, commodity-linked currencies such as the Australian and Canadian dollars saw fluctuations driven by interest rate differentials, global trade dynamics and their respective economies' ties to the United States and China.
Analysts caution that President Trump’s tariff policies could intensify the overvaluation of the US dollar in 2025, potentially heightening the risk of global financial instability. The prospect of trade restrictions may add complexity to an already volatile economic landscape.
Commodity Markets: Precious Metals Shine, Oil Struggles
Commodity markets have seen a resurgence in investor interest. According to data from WisdomTree and Bloomberg, the proportion of investors allocating resources to commodities rose to 79% in 2024, compared to 71% in 2023—an expected rebound after a challenging year for commodities in 2023.
Precious metals, particularly gold and silver, emerged as top performers. As of time of the writing on 11th December, gold prices surged by over 30%, while silver outpaced gold with a 35% gain. Several factors drove these impressive performances, including geopolitical tensions, economic uncertainties surrounding the US presidential election, and strong demand from emerging market central banks. According to analysts, these factors should continue supporting precious metals in 2025.
Natural gas prices also experienced significant growth, rising 30% to 50% across major markets in Asia, Europe, and North America. Colder weather forecasts have fueled demand, particularly in Europe and Asia. Analysts suggest that this bullish sentiment in gas markets is likely to persist through the winter, with prices unlikely to see significant declines until well into 2025. However, high gas prices are expected to increase power costs globally, straining fragile economic growth in key regions such as China and Europe while rekindling inflationary concerns.
Oil, however, faced a challenging year despite geopolitical crises and production cuts. One of the reasons is a weak demand, particularly from China. In the United States, gasoline inventories exceeded long-term seasonal levels. According to analysts, the growing transition to electric vehicles in developed markets represents a long-term challenge for oil demand. Although some analysts anticipate a recovery in 2025 as OPEC+ production cuts take effect and geopolitical risks persist.
Stock Markets: Tech Leads the Charge
The US stock market delivered robust performances in 2024, reaching new record highs, with the technology sector at the forefront. Innovations in artificial intelligence (AI) played a pivotal role in driving growth, with major companies such as Microsoft, Nvidia, and Amazon reporting strong earnings. This momentum boosted broader indices, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 recording gains of 28.57% and 27.4%, respectively, as of 10th December.
The broader market also benefited from declining inflation, interest rate cuts, and better-than-expected corporate earnings. These factors may contribute to the stock market growth in 2025. However, stretched valuations temper some of the optimism, and concerns about potential trade tariffs add a layer of uncertainty.
Looking Ahead to 2025: Key Market Drivers
As we look ahead to 2025, several critical factors are poised to influence the direction of financial markets.
Central Bank Policies
Central banks will remain pivotal in shaping financial markets in 2025. The balance between maintaining growth and addressing inflationary pressures will be a key theme for central banks throughout the year, influencing the strength of equity markets. Interest rate differentials will play a significant role in determining currency movements.
Global Economic Recovery
The global economy is expected to continue rebounding from pandemic effects. GDP growth, employment trends, and trade balances will be key factors influencing financial markets.
Trade War Uncertainty
Potential trade tariffs pose a significant risk. The scope, products, and geographies targeted will determine the impact on global GDP, inflation, and interest rates. Any escalation in trade tensions could disrupt markets and strain economic recovery.
Artificial Intelligence and Innovation
AI and emerging technologies may drive productivity gains, offering an upside to global growth. By boosting efficiency and reducing costs, AI could also exert disinflationary pressure, influencing economic dynamics in the long term.
Geopolitical Tensions
Geopolitical risks, including trade disputes and political conflicts, remain unpredictable but could disrupt markets.
Final Thoughts: Embracing Opportunities Amid Volatility
The year 2024 brought its share of challenges and opportunities, showcasing the resilience and adaptability of global markets. From navigating geopolitical uncertainties and evolving monetary policies to embracing the transformative potential of technologies like artificial intelligence, market participants faced a dynamic landscape.
Looking ahead to 2025, the horizon offers new opportunities. Continued advancements in innovation, shifts in economic policies, and the resolution of key global tensions could set the stage for exciting market fluctuations. Use the new year to test your skills and look for new opportunities!

etherum (ETH) "INDICATOR TANGLE"The moving averages with shadow function offer a timeframe to follow before major improvements in price. Right now Ethereum is jumbled up with the third blue line 150 variable moving average. This is not dissimilar to Bitcoin because Bitcoin does not follow such simple methods of indicator transcribing. This would look like the peak is reached according to the orange line and stepped yellow line crossing paths. The difference this time around compared to back in 2021 is in how the blue line is intersecting with those lines (orange, yellow, green) that rise when the price is reaching peak evaluation.
jasmy (JASMY) "INDICATIONS"The BBTrend indicator reveals whether the price is overbought or oversold. Red is too low "oversold" and green is too high "overbought." In this case Jasmy is quite neutral on that fact.
The Yellow stepped line is the 100 Moving Average. When the 100 MA is smoothing out and rounding over this is a sign of the price reversing. As you can see the steps are large and there is no smoothing happening. Also with my 2x100 indicator the waves run between the two lines like a MACD with the 100MA line on top for positive growth and when the smooth green line crosses over the stepped line this is a sign of a reversal as well. As you can see the recent price increase is therefore sturdy based on these two indications.
JASMY (JASMY) "True Path"Since creating my indicator months ago I have never seen any crypto project pass direcrtly through the two dotted blue lines until now with Jasmy today. I referred to the center of the two lines as the black hole of which has too much energy for any crxyptocurrency including Bitcoin and Ethereum to ever cross directly through the center. Quite interesting.
BTC dominance 2024-2025(prodolzhenie prognoza po dominacii bitkoina 2023-2024)
Proshlyj prognoz otrabotal prakticheski ideal'no, nemnogo promazal po vremeni (uskorilsya), nemnogo oshibsya s metodikoj raschyota dominacii (uchyol al'tkoiny - podrobno v obnovleniyah na proshlom prognoze po dominacii). Odnako v celom prognoz pravil'nyj!
Nakaplivat' bitkoin bylo bolee pravil'nym resheniem nezheli otkupat' al'tkoiny.
Podavlyayushchee bol'shinstvo al'tkoinov obnovilo svoi minimumy k bitkoinu.
Teper' prishla pora razvorota. Tyazhelo sprognozirovat' tochku razvorota (kak eto bylo s proshlym prognozom) kak po vremeni tak i po urovnyu, odnako ya sklonyayus' k variantu chto eto proizojdyot ot 55-65% vo vremennom promezhutke konca2024 achala2025 goda. I ustremitsya v blok 35-45% k koncu 2025 goda.
!!! Etot prognoz bolee kak prodolzhenie v popytke najti mesto razvorota, a ne kak samostoyatel'nyj predydushchij prognoz. Ya by ne stavil mnogoe na nego, odnako tendenciya dolzhna byt' yasna - gryadyot al'tsezon.
I think is time to start talking about PARABOLASOnce BTC goes above previous ATH is a good time to start analyzing parabolas. If you look closely once it breaks previous ATH the movent continues ascending in a parabolic move and then braking the pattern to culminate in a lateral correction or bear markets. Lets see this time
STELLAR and DOGECOIN_chartsThe similarity between Dogecoin's run up and the current trend of XLM is quite similar leading me to see the price of Stellar holding up to the position current on the chart, that is if the similarity between both charts is an example of what happens among many other theories on price and targets.
Bitcoin 4th Halving : Get Prepared!Hello Team,
Looking at past historic Bitcoin halving events you can see a historic rise in price followed. During previous halving events, the price of Bitcoin significantly declined after the previous run-up and is consolidating & stabilizing allowing good entry points. This is occurring again before the 4th halving.
If history repeats after the 4th halving during the estimated March 2024 date we can see another historic rise in the Bitcoin price.
Always remember,
"This time is different"
When Bitcoin was 20K people said, "I wish I bought at 3K!"
When Bitcoin was 70K people said, "I wish I bought at 10K!"
Now Bitcoin is ~16-25K will people wish they bought here?
Time will tell, and history repeats. Invest wisely.
PYRAMID FINANCIAL "website"I randomly came across this brand new token,. The website is fintage meme culture stuff, microsoft like. On CoinGecko the price is said to have started around $50.00 USD. From trading view I see a beginning price that was around $2.00 USD.
TOTAL CRYPTO TICKER - moving average linesAll the moving average lines are in order and underneath the price of cryptocurrency, bitcoin too. If so, the signal would mean the price will maintain and continue forth onward to the new year. The potential for the market cap of cryptocurrency to double may be in the cards, the loftiness of trillions of dollars swelling cryptocurrency is a much tougher sell than Bitcoin, ideally. For all those active investors and active social viewers this post is of the utmost simplicity based on the simple method of keeping ideas useful.
