MARKETS week ahead: January 20 – 26Last week in the news The US inflation is not as scary as investors previously thought. In this sense, they adjusted previous expectations and returned positive sentiment to financial markets. The US equity markets recovered from losses carried two weeks ago. The S&P 500 ended the week at the level of 5.996. The US Dollar continued to gain in strength, but due to general uncertainty, the price of gold also surged back to the $2,7K levels. The US Treasury yields reacted strongly on inflation figures, bringing back the 10Y US benchmark to the level of 4,62%. In the dawn of the US new Administration inauguration, the crypto market also reacted positively, bringing BTC back above the level of $100K. The US inflation figures were posted during the previous week, which was the major macro event. The inflation rate in December was standing at 0,4% for the month, bringing the inflation figure to 2,9% on a yearly basis. Both figures were in line with market forecasts. At the same time, core inflation was lower from market estimate, reaching 0,2% for the month and 3,2% on a yearly basis. This was information that changed market sentiment from negative to positive. Namely, strong jobs figures initiated a fear among investors that inflation might be higher than previously estimated, in which sense, the Fed will halt further cuts of interest rates. The current situation signals that the market was wrong with previous estimates, and that inflation in the US is on a clear down trend, in which sense, the Fed might continue with planned two rate cuts during the course of this year. The US 10Y Treasury yields also had a strong reaction to inflation data, bringing yields from the 4,8% down to 4,62%. level. During the previous week markets were discussing a new meme coin issued by a new US President-elected, whose inauguration is scheduled for January 20th. The meme coin was issued on a Solana blockchain, where this coin surged by 12% on Saturday and 23% on Friday. News is reporting that this coin currently has a market cap of nearly $5 billion and is the largest coin on the Solana chain. The Bank of Japan is again in the spotlight of investors' attention. Namely, there are an increasing number of news reports noting a potential rate hike by the Bank of Japan in order to support the decreasing value of its currency. Reuters mentioned sources from BoJ which noted higher probability that the BoJ will increase its reference rates on a meeting as of the end of January. Market participants are currently pricing 80% chances for a rate hike at the forthcoming BoJ meeting. Due to the significant amount in carry trades, there is a higher probability that the markets in the US might react in a negative manner to this BoJ action. There was a lot of dust in the media regarding the TikTok ban in the US during previous weeks. However, Reuters posted the latest news that the new President-elect Trump will allow TikTok to operate in the US only if US investors hold 50% stake in the company. Crypto market cap As inflation in the US is clearly under control and on its way down, and as inauguration of a new President-elect is coming due, the crypto market turned to the positive hype for one more time. The majority of crypto coins were traded in a positive sentiment during the previous week, increasing total crypto market capitalization by 11% on a weekly level, adding a new $340B to it. Daily trading volumes were also significantly increased to the level of $382B on a daily basis, from $130B traded a week before. Total crypto market cap increase from the end of the previous year currently stands at 11%, where $340B has been added. Almost all crypto coins ended the week in a positive territory. The highest increase in market cap came from Bitcoin, which increased its value by more than 11% on a weekly basis, adding a new $211B to it. A new $19B came from ETH, which was a weekly increase of around 5% for this coin. XRP was also in the spotlight of the market, which managed to increase its market value by 27% w/w, adding $38B to its market cap. This time Solana should be specially mentioned. Namely, the coin surged by more than 44% after a new meme coin TRUMP was issued on this network, which represents the highest coin on this blockchain. Eventually, the market has a new favorite coin on the market, called TRUMP, issued by the current US President-elect. In only a few days, this coin managed to collect $ 13B in the market cap, and currently takes 16th place on the list of most valuable coins, based on data from Coinmarketcap. The TRUMP coin surged by an incredible 918% for the last seven days. In line with the significant surge in the market cap, Solana also increased the number of its coins in circulation by 0,5% on a weekly basis. Stellar and Algorand had an increase in circulating coins by 0,2%, each. The number of Tether stablecoins increased by 0,7% during the previous week. Crypto futures market The crypto hype is for one more time on the crypto market, but this time also on the crypto futures market. Some interesting developments occurred with BTC futures during the previous week. Namely, all maturities were traded higher by more than 10% on a weekly basis, where futures maturing in December 2026 reached the price of $124.045. This represents the highest ever quoted price for BTC, indicating that the market is extremely positively oriented toward this coin. Futures maturing in December this year ended the week at the level of $114.145. ETH futures were traded higher around 7,5% for all maturities. Futures maturing as of the end of this year ended the week at the level of $3.778. Those futures maturing in December 2026 managed to cross the $ 4K level, ending the week at $4.057.

SOL & Memes | Is Solana season here ?From Weekend Hero to Market King Sol szn is here ? YESS, We are 70% up since our last analysis and recent data strongly suggests we might be entering the early days of SOL mania, Here’s why 1.SOL Outperformed BTC and ETH This Weekend: Solana delivered significantly better returns compared to Bitcoin and Ethereum over the weekend. don't let me compare it with Eth cuz it will break Eth holders Soul 2.Market Cap Milestone: Solana's total market capitalization hit an all time high earlier today, now making up 3.53% of the entire cryptocurrency market with a valuation of $114.3 billion. 3.Dominating Daily Net Inflows: As of now, SOL tops the leaderboard for daily net inflows. 4.Revenue Growth: Last week, Solana’s Real Economic Value (the revenue it generates) doubled its previous all-time high. 5.Meme coins often choose the Solana blockchain for a variety of reasons, primarily due to its unique technical advantages and its growing ecosystem. Here’s why: Low Transaction Costs, High Throughput and Scalability, Fast Transaction Speed, Strong Community and Ecosystem,Developer-Friendly Environment, Early Mover Advantage... 6.Weekend Trading Volumes: Between Saturday and Sunday night, SOL trading volumes surpassed those of all major altcoins. All of this recent movement is huge for two specific groups of people: -My wife, who has been worried sick since I told her I invested 100% of my life savings in Solana! -Our followers, who got worded up on SOL around this time last year and load the dip at 20$ But will these trends hold, especially after ETH and BTC ETFs wrap up their first trading day of the week? Probably not but it’s worth noting how impressive this is, given Ethereum’s market cap is 3.3x larger than Solana’s, and Bitcoin’s is a staggering 16x bigger! As you can see Sol ready for correction and pullback then it gets ready for Sol Mania

The TOTAL3 Breakout: Does This Signal the Start of Altseason? This chart displays the price action of what's labeled as "TOTAL3," which represents the combined market capitalization of all cryptocurrencies excluding Bitcoin and Ethereum. Essentially, it tracks the overall value of the altcoin market. The chart depicts the price action of the "Crypto Total Market Cap Excluding BTC and ETH" (referred to as TOTAL3 in the label) over a period from October 2024 to April 2025. We can see a clear uptrend followed by a period of consolidation, and then a breakout from that consolidation pattern. Key Observations Initial Uptrend: The chart shows a strong, steep uptrend that begins around November 18, 2024. This indicates a period of significant buying pressure and increasing valuation for altcoins (crypto excluding BTC and ETH). Consolidation: Around early December 2024, the upward momentum slows, and the price enters a consolidation phase. This is characterized by a rangebound pattern that appears to be forming a descending triangle. The white trendlines clearly define this descending triangle pattern, with a descending resistance line and a horizontal support line. This pattern is typically considered bearish. Bullish Breakout: Around mid-January 2025, the price breaks above the descending resistance line of the triangle. This is a bullish breakout, indicating that buying pressure has overcome the previous selling pressure. The price rises above the upper trend line and confirms the breakout. Timeframe: The chart is using a daily (1D) timeframe, which is suitable for mid- to long-term analysis. Interpretation and Potential Implications Bullish Signal: The breakout from the descending triangle suggests a continuation of the initial uptrend and is considered a bullish signal. It implies that the market may be entering another phase of price appreciation for altcoins (excluding BTC and ETH). Confirmation Needed: While the breakout looks valid, it would be beneficial to monitor volume activity to confirm the strength of the breakout. Possible targets: The length of the base of the descending triangle could be added to the breakout point for a possible target, assuming it continues upwards. Risk Management: As always, with any price pattern, a successful breakout is never guaranteed. Traders may consider setting a stop-loss below the breakout line as part of their risk management strategy.

MARKETS week ahead: January 13 – 19Last week in the news Surprisingly good US jobs data pushed the markets toward the negative sentiment. It is not the case that investors were disappointed with good developments in the US economy, but they needed to correct their previous expectations on Fed's rate cuts. The US equity markets were mostly hit, where S&P 500 ended the week at the level of 5.827. The US Treasury yields ended the week higher, with 10Y reaching 4,8%. The US Dollar continued to gain in strength, however, the price of gold was also strengthening to the level of $2.689 due to investors uncertainty regarding the decisions which will be taken by the new US Administration. The BTC was traded with lower strength during the week, testing the resistance line at $95K, after shortly reaching support level at the $90K. The major data posted during the previous week were related to the US jobs data. The surprisingly better than expected Non-farm Payrolls figures of 256K hit the market on Friday. At the same time, the unemployment rate dropped to the level of 4,1% from 4,2% posted previously. Although this is good news for the US economy, still markets reacted in a negative manner - by increasing Treasury yields and decreasing the value of major equity indices on the US market. The markets are not perceiving that the Fed would have to keep interest rates at current levels for a longer period of time. At this moment, some analysts are noting a potential first rate cut during this year in September. The sentiment among investors for the rate cut at the January FOMC meeting dropped to the lowest level. Mark Zuckerberg's recent interview on Joe Rogan show attracted attention from investors and journalists. Mark was criticizing a main rival of his company, Apple, for “a lot of rules, that I think are arbitrary” which are implemented into Apple's technology. In his opinion, these rules are diminishing all the technological effort that Apple has put in place. At the same time, it should be noted that Meta announced that it will ban their “fact checking” program introduced during the pandemic. Analysts from Bernstein are betting on the European pharmaceutical industry in 2025. As they are noting, there is currently a significant discount of EU pharma stocks, with a solid growth prospectus in 2025 of estimated 8% EPS. Another aspect that Bernstein analysts are noting is solid generation of cash by the EU pharma industry. Analysts from Bank of America downgraded Tesla shares from Buy to Neutral. The rationale behind such an action is their view on “high execution risks”. They also decreased the price target from $490 down to $400. Crypto market cap There has been a lot of volatility on the crypto market during the previous week. The majority of this volatility was driven by BTC. As this coin entered into the mainstream markets, through exchange traded funds during the previous year, its price is reacting to developments in the US macro segment. Surprisingly strong US jobs data increased the sentiment with investors that Fed will halt further decrease of interest rates, in order to cope with the heating economy, in which sense, investors had to adjust their previous expectations. Simply, the less rate cuts implying less liquidity in the economy, in which sense, less money for the crypto market. Still, during this trading week, total crypto market capitalization decreased by 5% w/w, erasing some $160B in total cap. Daily trading volumes remained redacted, moving around the level of $130B on a daily basis, a further decline from last week's $158B. Total crypto market capitalization remained flat when compared to the end of the year 2024. The majority of crypto coins were traded in red during the previous week. Bitcoin lost around $ 68B in the market cap, decreasing it by 3,5% w/w. Ether was following the sentiment, by which its market cap dropped by $ 43B or 10% on a weekly basis. Bitcoin Gold also had a negative week with a droop in value of 25%. From other major coins, DOGE was traded down by 12%, same as Solana, while BNB managed to sustain a lower drop in value of 2,4%. It is interesting that XRP had a solid week, as this is one of rare coins which ended the week on a positive territory, increasing its market cap by 6,2% w/w. Regarding coins in circulation, this week IOTA had an increase of coins in circulation by 0,5%, while Filecoins number of circulating coins was higher by 0,3% w/w. Stellar, Solana and Algorand increased the number of coins on the market by 0,2% each. Crypto futures market The sentiment from the spot market was reflected on the crypto futures market. Both BTC and ETH futures were traded lower from the end of the week before. BTC futures were traded down by 4% on average, while ETH futures were down by some 10% on average for all maturities. BTC futures maturing in December this year ended the week with the price of $103.325, and those maturing a year later, closed the market at $112.275. On a positive side is that longer term futures continue to hold above the $100K level. ETH futures maturing at the end of this year were last traded at $3.511, while those maturing in December 2026 closed the week at $3.711. For one more time ETH did not manage to sustain the futures price levels above the $4K.

The US Treasuries are still digesting US macro data in expectation of the January FOMC meeting, bringing the 10Y US benchmark to the level of 4,62%. The crypto market started the new year in an optimistic manner, bringing BTC back to levels of $98K. Previous week was relatively calm when it comes to the release of currently significant macro data in the US. However, the largest US companies started to release their business plans for the year 2025. One of the most important news came from Microsoft, which noted that the company plans to spend at least $80 billion on construction of data centers which could be able to sustain a heady workload of AI-powered systems. For some time now, analysts have been noting that AI is the next “big thing” and that companies involved in the AI ecosystem would gain the most funds from investors. After this news the US equity market regained optimism bringing tech-heavy indexes to the higher grounds on Friday. CNBC made an interesting analysis based on officially published data in China, related to imports of phones into this country. Namely, as per CNBC, foreign mobile phone shipments in China dropped by 47% y/y in November. Considering that the majority of foreign phone shipments in China comes from Apple, CNBC is noting that Apple's market share in China might be under pressure in the coming period, considering strong competition from local smartphone producers. Interesting news published by Reuters at the beginning of the previous week, states that a local group of Swiss cryptocurrency advocates started an initiative proposing to the Swiss National Bank to hold Bitcoin, in a sense of national reserves. The initiators now have the task to collect 100.000 signatures in order for the initiative to reach a public referendum in Switzerland. At the start of the new year, analysts from investment company Goldman Sachs published their view and forecasts on the economic developments in the US, EU and China.

The EU economy will continue to stand a hit from higher energy prices and also from high competition from China. Their expectations are that the EU will further cut interest rates to the level of 1,75%. Analysts from Goldman are noting geopolitical risks as ones to prevail in the 2025, as well as risks for the US economy if a new US administration imposes tariffs on goods from China. Crypto market cap The crypto market used the first trading week in a year to gear up for the rest of the year, and set the sentiment for the future.

Total Crypto Market Capitalization prediction for 2025The basis for the analysis in today's idea about the future of the total capitalization of the crypto market is our idea from 2 years ago, where we assumed that the “bottom” has already been reached and that we will continue to see strong growth. Read it 👇 Since then, the total capitalization of the crypto market has grown 4 times from $800 billion to $3.2 trillion. This is mainly due to the growth of the CRYPTOCAP:BTC price from $16k to the current $95k and its BTC.Dominance index from 39% to the current 58%. Many altcoins are still depressed, many of them failed to update their ATH, so let's assume that there hasn't been a real altseason yet) And here's how the capitalization of other financial assets has changed approximately over 2 years: end of 2022👉end of 2024 SP500 - $33 trillion 👉 $45 trillion Gold - $11 trillion👉 $18 trillion Silver - $1 trillion 👉 $1.8 trillion Cryptocurrencies - $800 billion 👉 $3.2 trillion Crypto rules, at least in terms of growth!) In addition, two fundamental events have taken place since then: BTC ETFs and ETH ETFs are gateways for the infusion of large institutional money into the crypto market, but also flags for the regulation of the crypto market. And then, only modeling in the mix with our fantasies and desires for 2025) 1️⃣ Previous cycles of rapid growth of the crypto market lasted 550 days after the #Bitcoin halving, so we assume that the current one will last at least until the end of October 2025. 2️⃣ The “growth power” of the total capitalization of the crypto market decreased by 6 times with each cycle, which means that in the current cycle it should reach at least $7-8 trillion 3️⃣ But this time, we have a “dark horse” - ETFs, and who knows how many more of them will be approved in the future and how this will affect the crypto market. Moreover, the number of cryptocurrencies is no longer thousands or tens of thousands, but millions. Memecoins are created in 30 seconds and rolled out to a multi-million dollar capitalization in weeks) And it is still commonly believed that the “naive and hungry” retailer with the eternal FOMO syndrome, who buys anything at any price, has not returned to the crypto market. 4️⃣ Therefore, purely hypothetically, simply based on fractal analysis and a combination of fibo levels, we assume that the crypto market can “swing” up to a cosmic $53 trillion 5️⃣ Further, according to the same fractal analysis, the current correction of prices on the crypto market and its total capitalization should not be very long, well, at most another -10% from the current $3.2 trillion to $2.85 +|- 6️⃣ Everything is very fantastic and promising, doesn't it?) Then let's put the icing on the cake and go to celebrate the New Year 2025. According to our forecast from 2 years ago, the OKX:BTCUSDT price has every chance of reaching $355,000 by the end of 2025 👇

MARKETS week ahead: December 30 – January 5Last week in the news The Holiday season on the Western markets made its impact on lower trading volumes and lower volatility for US Dollar, the price of gold and the crypto market. As for US equities, the previous week was influenced by shifts in US Treasury yields. The 10Y US benchmark yields reached the level of 4,629% after considering Feds narrative over the future course of rate cuts in 2025. The price of gold ended the week relatively steady at the level of $2.621, while BTC had a modestly volatile week, but still testing the $95K to the downside. The week ahead brings another short Holiday, celebrating the end of 2024 and the beginning of 2025, when a relatively calm week should be expected. Without any significant news from the Western markets, the Japan monetary authorities were in the spotlight during the previous week. Namely, the Japanese Finance Minister Katsunobu Kato noted that the rate increase is still on the table for the BoJ meeting in January. The excessive movements in Yen during the previous period is not welcomed by Japanese monetary authorities, in which sense, an increase in interest rates would support its stabilization. However, the Ministry must take a cautious approach, considering a trajectory from the US economy. A potential hike would make borrowing in Yen more expensive, in which sense, some carry trading positions would have to be closed, which would at the bottom line have a negative impact on the US markets. Based on analysts' opinion, the big seven companies in the tech industry are going to be in the focus of market interest also in the future. Increasing demand for the AI ecosystem will further support businesses within the tech industry. The so-called “Magnificent seven” stocks are ending this year almost 180% higher, with market capitalization exceeding $3 trillion. During the year, Nvidia became the second most valued company in the US. Central bank moves in terms of further cut of interest rates is going to be in the market focus also during the year 2025. High inflation was put into control, based on which, both Fed and ECB made their cuts of reference interest rates during 2024. The trend is expected to continue also during 2025, however, at a lower pace. Fed Chair Powell noted at December's FOMC meeting expectations of further 50 bps cut of rates during 2025. On the other side is the European Central Bank, holding onto actual macro data in order to make a further decision on rate cuts. As inflation in the Euro Zone slowed down, a lower rate cut is also expected during 2025. Crypto market cap Although December was a tight month for the crypto currencies market, still, it should be considered that crypto coins had one extremely good year, with a few milestones reached. The year 2024 will be marked as the year when the first BTC spot exchange traded fund has been officially approved and started trading on traditional markets. The second important milestone for BTC was its $100K target. BTC is also ending this year with the all-time highest level reached during the year at $107,8K. Turning to the previous week, total crypto market capitalization was decreased by additional 1%, decreasing the cap by $30B. With the start of the Holiday season on Western markets, total daily trading volumes were significantly decreased to the level of $131B on a daily basis, from $397B traded the week before. Total crypto market capitalization increase from the end of the previous year currently stands at $1.592, which represents a 97% surge from the beginning of this year. BTC closed the previous week at 3% lower from the week before, losing $58B in the market cap. This week ETH was flat, while the rest of altcoins were traded in a relatively mixed manner, as there were both gainers and losers.

Will Ethereum reach $8500 ?Ethereum (ETH) has been a focal point in the cryptocurrency world, drawing both admiration and skepticism. As Q4 unfolds, Ethereum has shown remarkable resilience, staying on its intended path despite market fluctuations. This article explores Ethereum's journey, its current standing, and the potential for it to reach the ambitious target of $8,500. Everyone criticizing Ethereum should take note: ETH is still on track and hasn't deviated from its course. In Q4, Ethereum was never expected to reach new all-time highs (ATH). Despite performing better than anticipated, ETH remains steadfast on its intended path. It exhibited a bearish pattern, forming higher lows and lower highs before stabilizing. It then marked a higher low, established a bear market high, broke through this high, retested it just before Q4, and began its upward trajectory. Here's how the forecasted ETH pattern looks—believe me, we're still on track. 📈 Ethereum's chart demonstrates a clear path forward, with key indicators suggesting sustained growth. The technical analysis points towards Ethereum reaching significant levels, with the 2.0 Fibonacci extension level being a crucial milestone. I believe $8,500 is a realistic target for Ethereum, corresponding to the 2.0 Fibonacci extension level. The Fibonacci extension tool is commonly used in technical analysis to predict future price movements based on past price trends. The 2.0 Fibonacci extension level suggests that the price could potentially double from its previous move. In this case, reaching $8,500 fits within the expected range of this extension level, making it a plausible target. When ETH's price reaches the 2.0 Fibonacci extension level, its market cap will be approximately $625 billion, reflecting a 155% increase. If the price continues to rise and reaches the 2.618 Fibonacci extension level, the market cap would soar to around $859 billion, marking a 214% increase. These levels are calculated based on today's price. To all the Ethereum doubters out there: Keep talking while ETH keeps building. 📈 Your doubts fuel our progress. Watch and learn! 💪🔥 Ethereum's journey is far from over, and its resilience in the face of criticism only strengthens its position. As it continues to build and innovate, ETH is poised to reach new heights, potentially hitting the $8,500 mark and beyond. Ethereum's path is filled with potential, and the signs are pointing towards significant growth. With the 2.0 Fibonacci extension level serving as a realistic target, $8,500 is within reach. Whether you're an investor or a skeptic, keeping an eye on Ethereum's progress is essential, as it continues to defy expectations and carve its path in the crypto world.
