$ALGO UPDATED - Resistance Break Inevitable Just a quick update on our previous EURONEXT:ALGO trade, So far, it has performed as expected, hit resistance within the past week, and was rejected slightly back to it, We're currently expecting the current resistance level to break over the next 48 hours.
Levels to focus on and set alerts at
Updated Target level 1(Major Resistance): $0.2398
Updated Target level 2: $0.3610
Updated Target level 3: $0.5077
Targets from last chart remain the same, Expecting us to break UTL1 (Updated Target level 1) within the next 48 hours, after that major resistance I expect a sharp break upwards towards UTL2 before a potential cook off wick and then continuing to next targets, expect the first two targets to be broken within the week.
SUPPOMAN thinks #TITANX #TIT Can 100X. I agree!The game theory is deep
The game theory is sticky
A new crypto community has formed already and is growing #Metcalf's Law
and I believe u can see 100X of value being created
It's listed market cap is low ... becuase of the staking and mining
and it appears #defi builders are building products for this protocol
I agree with Suppoman
TitanX can do big numbers
********
PLEASE DO NOT BUY NOW
IT is cheaper to mine the coin currently.
If you do not understand what I am talking about... than please research on Youtube on how this defi protocol works.
best of Luck
Cosmos To the Cosmos? Bullish Play on ATOMFirst Resistance Zone - $8.70 - $10.05
Target 1: $10.05
Target 2 - Resistance
Heavy Resistance level (Previous top) - $14.15
Absolutely love this project - Solid fundamentals, Founding in 2014 (Crypto Og's) And targeting some of the prime problems in the ecosystem.
In a nutshell, Cosmos bills itself as a project that solves some of the “hardest problems” facing the blockchain industry. It aims to offer an antidote to “slow, expensive, unscalable and environmentally harmful” proof-of-work protocols, like those used by Bitcoin, by offering an ecosystem of connected blockchains.
The project’s other goals include making blockchain technology less complex and difficult for developers thanks to a modular framework that demystifies decentralized apps. Last but not least, an Interblockchain Communication protocol makes it easier for blockchain networks to communicate with each other — preventing fragmentation in the industry.
Cosmos’ origins can be dated back to 2014, when Tendermint, a core contributor to the network, was founded. In 2016, a white paper for Cosmos was published — and a token sale was held the following year. ATOM tokens are earned through a hybrid proof-of-stake algorithm, and they help to keep the Cosmos Hub, the project’s flagship blockchain, secure. This cryptocurrency also has a role in the network’s governance.
NAVI - Low-Cap High Potential Play - 50x Potential Long termExtremely undervalued token, I would like it to break the first outlined resistance before allocating capital towards this asset.
This is a high risk play, I wouldn't recommend investing more than you are willing to throw in the trash can, That being said the growth potential is huge at a market cap of just below 2 million USD This easily has the potential to 50X in a bull market scenario.
Here are my Initial Targets / Supports / Resistances
Support Level 1: $.05226
Major Resistance to break: $.07649
Target 1: $.12456

$INJ Updated Target levels / Resistance and supportsAfter the great success of CRYPTOCAP:INJ since our last call I wanted to update some price targets.
It has had an absolute rip since my first call yielding about 100% gain in about a month.
I can see its success continue, but we need to break over the yellow updated resistance level outlined in this chart. (33.77)
Another Critical component of this trade to pay attention to is the recent fud posted to twitter yesterday.
This is the tweet I am referring to/ x.com
It claims that collusion among market makers is the only thing keeping the price up.
Another particularly alarming fact is the TVL compared to FDV
11m to 3 billion - which is absolutely horrendous.
I personally will take profit on a good portion of my position and let the rest ride at critical points outlined.
No point being greedy in this market. Plenty of opportunities await.

AAVE, Break out and bullish move eminent? Aave looks like it's building momentum that could break out of the bull flag/pennant. A break out of this formation could lead to $175 move in fairly short deration.
The technical trade is the break out and a hold of the break out. If it were to fall back in the zone it is considered a fake out.
Either way you cut it, AAVE is good price here for long term growth.
Let me know what you think AAVE and this analysis down below.

Crypto total cap DeFI.D - % of dominance of DeFiLogarithm. Time frame 1 week. Chart. This is the crypto total cap DeFI.D
This is the percentage of dominance of DeFi projects in relation to the entire market. This is a very important indicator for understanding the pump or dump of this asset class. That is, to understand when there will be an alt-season on this group of assets, which will "overtake the market" at a moment in time.
Below is a basic type of asset group grading on tradingview that makes sense to monitor and use as true market indicators. This gives insight into potential asset group pump/dump or market phase shifts. These types of idea are done once and for many years. Because relevance is never lost if you understand the meaning
1) Market capitalization of different assets:
Crypto total cap - total market capitalization of the market in $
Crypto total cap 2 - market capitalization excluding BTC in $
Crypto total cap 3 - market capitalization excluding BTC and ETH in $
2) DeFI projects:
Crypto total cap DeFI - DeFI cryptocurrency capitalization in $
Crypto total cap DeFI.D - capitalization in % terms of DeFi dominance to the market
3) Major Stablecoins:
Market cap USDT - capitalization of USDT in $
Market cap USDT % - capitalization in % expression of dominance to the whole market
Market cap USDC - capitalization of USDC in $
Market cap USDC % - capitalization in % dominance terms to the whole market.
4) Bitcoin
Market cap BTC $ - capitalization of BTC in $
Market cap BTC dominannce % - capitalization in % dominance expression to the whole market.
5) Ethereum
Market cap ETH $ - capitalization of ETH in $
Market cap ETH dominannce % - capitalization in % dominance expression to the whole market.
6) USD index (DXY)
US Dollar cyrrency index - this is the most important indicator of the pump/dump markets as a whole (more globally, not just crypto).
Market cycles are humans behavior, what is displayed on the price chart and which lends itself to cyclical thinking/actions, which shapes the market direction. .
Below I will publish similar ideas - indicators that I have published previously for several years and that for obvious reasons remain relevant. I will also make analysis of new groups of assets by capitalization from the list, which have not been analyzed before. But, I will do all the analysis of instruments only when I have free time.
2028 SOL in 200USDPredicting the future value of any cryptocurrency involves numerous variables and uncertainties, making it a speculative exercise. However, I can outline a hypothetical argument for Solana (SOL) reaching $200 USD by 2028, taking into account potential factors such as the Federal Reserve's interest rate releases in 2024.
1. Technological Advancements:
Solana is known for its high-performance blockchain, capable of handling a large number of transactions with low fees. If the development team continues to enhance and optimize the network, attracting more developers and projects, the technological advancements could contribute to the increased demand for SOL tokens.
2. Increased Adoption:
As blockchain technology gains wider acceptance across industries, Solana's scalability and efficiency might position it as a preferred platform for various decentralized applications (DApps) and projects. Increased adoption often correlates with a rise in the value of the underlying cryptocurrency.
3. DeFi and NFT Growth:
The decentralized finance (DeFi) and non-fungible token (NFT) sectors have shown significant growth in recent years. If Solana continues to establish itself as a leading platform for DeFi and NFT projects, it could experience increased demand for its native token, SOL.
4. Market Sentiment and Speculation:
Market sentiment plays a crucial role in the cryptocurrency space. Positive developments, partnerships, and increasing interest from institutional investors can drive speculation and attract more investors to SOL. This increased demand could potentially drive up the token's value.
5. Macro-Economic Factors:
The Federal Reserve's interest rate decisions can impact the broader financial markets. If the interest rates are maintained at lower levels or follow a more accommodative monetary policy, investors might seek alternative assets like cryptocurrencies for potentially higher returns, positively affecting SOL's value.
6. Improved Regulatory Clarity:
Clarity in cryptocurrency regulations can foster a more favorable environment for investor confidence. If regulatory frameworks become clearer and more accommodating, it could attract a broader range of investors to Solana and the overall cryptocurrency market.
7. Ecosystem Development:
The growth and diversification of the Solana ecosystem, including partnerships, collaborations, and the launch of innovative projects, can contribute to SOL's value appreciation.
This is not a financial advice.
Crypto101 - How to Make Money with DeFiHi Traders, Investors and Speculators 📈📉
Ev here. Been trading crypto since 2017 and later got into stocks. I have 3 board exams on financial markets and studied economics from a top tier university for a year. Daytime job - Math Teacher.
If you’ve been following me on TradingView for a while, you’ll now that I’m a believer – a believer in the promise of blockchain. One of the principals of this promise is to move away from centrally controlled banking systems. This would eventually include the act of saving and earning interest for the money that you leave in the capable hands of your banker (who also gets to decide whether or not you qualify for loans). Currently, you need to give up all of your personal information to open a bank account and furthermore you are seriously undercut in the returns / interest rate that you will be receiving (to name only two of many problems with the system). For example, where I reside, the most common interest on a savings account is 5% annually, whereas the interest on your credit card is 19.5% annually.
Before we continue, familiarize yourself with these Key Terms:
TVL – Total Value Locked in the platform
DEX - A decentralized exchange. Peer-to-peer marketplace where transactions occur directly between crypto traders like Coinbase and Binance
Blockchain – A unique way of coding that is open for anyone to use, many believe that web3 will be built on top this kind of coding
DeFi – Decentralized Finance such as cryptocurrencies and stablecoins
dApp – Software like apps that work on the basis of blockchain code and thus apps that accommodate cryptocurrency such as UniSwap and NFT Market places
LP tokens - New liquidity pool tokens. LP tokens represent a crypto liquidity provider's share of a pool, and the crypto liquidity provider remains entirely in control of the token. For example, if you contribute $10 USD worth of assets to a Balancer pool that has a total worth of $100, you would receive 10% of that pool's LP tokens.
APY - Annual Percentage Yield, think of it as yearly interest in percentage
Smart Contracts — Electronic, digital contracts coded to integrate with dApps. Automated financial agreements between two or more parties once the pre-determined terms of the contract is reached
With the rise of Blockchain, Crypto and then Decentralized apps, yield farming was born to address some of the banking system's limits. Or at least, that would be in the perfect world. Yield farming is the process of using DeFi to maximize returns. Users lend or borrow crypto on a DeFi platform and earn cryptocurrency in return for their services. This works for both parties, because yield farmers provide liquidity to various token pairs and you earn rewards in cryptocurrencies. However, yield farming can be a risky practice due to price volatility, rug pulls, smart contract hacks etc.
Yield farming allows investors to earn interest which is called ‘yield’ by putting coins or tokens in a dApp, which is an application (coded software) that integrates with blockchain code. Examples of dApps include crypto wallets, exchanges and many more. Yield farmers generally use decentralized exchanges (DEXs) to lend, borrow or stake coins to earn interest and speculate on price swings. Yield farming across DeFi is facilitated by smart contracts.
Let’s take a closer look at the different types of yield farming:
Liquidity provider: You deposit two coins to a DEX to provide trading liquidity. Exchanges charge a small fee to swap the two tokens which is paid to liquidity providers. This fee can sometimes be paid in new liquidity pool (LP) tokens.
Lending: Coin or token holders can lend crypto to borrowers through a smart contract and earn yield from interest paid on the loan.
Borrowing: Farmers can use one token as collateral and receive a loan of another. Users can then farm yield with the borrowed coins. This way, the farmer keeps their initial holding, which may increase in value over time, while also earning yield on their borrowed coins.
Staking: There are two forms of staking in the world of DeFi. The main form is on proof-of-stake blockchains, where a user is paid interest to pledge their tokens to the network to provide security. The second is to stake LP tokens earned from supplying a DEX with liquidity. This allows users to earn yield twice, as they are paid for supplying liquidity in LP tokens which they can then stake to earn more yield.
Yield farmers who want to increase their yield output can also use more complex tactics. For example, yield farmers can constantly shift their cryptos between multiple loan platforms to optimize their gains. Pro Tip: Use a High-Speed, Anonymous VPN. This lets you securely access the internet in an untraceable way. If you’re a cryptocurrency trader, you may want to remain anonymous or mask your IP address to another location.
With all of the above mentioned, the first step would be to determine your needs or interests and thereafter, opening an account or accounts. A few popular places to start exploring include:
1. Quint – Voted one of the best yield farming crypto platforms for 2022
2. Uniswap - Second-largest decentralized exchange (DEX) behind Curve Finance
3. YouHodler – Worldwide Exchange with yield farming
4. eToro – Regulated platform offering crypto interest tools
5. Crypto.com – Great platform for earning a high APY on Stablecoins
6. BlockFi – Popular Platform for Bitcoin yields. BlockFi was one of the first platforms to launch its own crypto credit card. The BlockFi Rewards Visa Signature Credit Card earns up to 2% back in the cryptocurrency of your choice and doesn't charge an annual fee
7. Coinbase – Top-Rated yield-generating platform for beginners
8. DeFi Swap – Overall best DeFi yield farming platform 2022 , earning up to 75% APY on DeFi coins
9. AQRU – Voted one of the best crypto Yield farming platforms for 2022
10. Aave - Reigning DeFi king in terms of total value locked
Note that the above is in no specific order. On the chart, you will see some fast facts on some of the options that these platforms offer. This is also not a shill, and I am not currently participating in any of the above mentioned. This is just intended as an easy introduction to another branch of what the world of Blockchain and DeFi has to offer.

CARDANO: Hydra update Bullish for ADAHi Traders, Investors and Speculators of Charts📈📉
Ev here. Been trading crypto since 2017 and later got into stocks. I have 3 board exams on financial markets and studied economics from a top tier university for a year 🏫
Cardano (ADA) has gained significant global recognition as a blockchain platform due to its emphasis on scalability, security, and interoperability. Frederik Gregaard, CEO of the Cardano Foundation, recently shared his vision for potential use cases, envisioning a future where Cardano plays a pivotal role in areas such as supply chain management, digital identity, and decentralized finance (DeFi).
In recent developments, Cardano welcomed the launch of Empowa, a new platform built on its network, which aims to address the housing crisis in Africa. Empowa operates as a DeFi platform, providing affordable housing loans to low-income families within the country. The platform operates entirely on Cardano's infrastructure, demonstrating the platform's capability to support innovative solutions.
Furthermore, Cardano has introduced Hydra, a scalability solution designed to enhance its mainnet's transaction throughput. Hydra serves as a layer 2 scaling mechanism that enables a significant increase in transactions per second while maintaining the security and decentralization aspects of the Cardano network. This becomes particularly significant as Ethereum experiences surging gas fees, prompting users to explore alternative options.
Looking ahead, Cardano's founder, Charles Hoskinson, who is also a co-founder of Ethereum, consistently emphasizes the importance of true decentralization as a global imperative. Cardano continues to prioritize scalability, security, and interoperability, attracting developers and entrepreneurs interested in building decentralized applications with practical use cases. With the recent launch of Empowa and the upcoming implementation of Alonzo, Cardano showcases its potential to emerge as a significant player in the realms of DeFi and smart contracts. The introduction of Hydra further strengthens its position as a secure and scalable blockchain platform.
The underlying technology of Cardano and its recent launch have the potential to disrupt traditional financial service providers and institutions in several ways:
Decentralization and Trust: Cardano's blockchain technology operates on a decentralized network, meaning that it does not rely on a central authority or intermediary for transactions and record-keeping. This decentralized nature eliminates the need for traditional financial institutions as middlemen, reducing transaction costs and increasing trust in the system. By leveraging blockchain's transparent and immutable nature, Cardano offers a trustless environment where participants can interact directly without the need for intermediaries.
Scalability and Efficiency: The scalability solutions implemented in Cardano, such as the Hydra protocol, enable the network to process a high volume of transactions per second. This scalability advantage allows Cardano to handle a large number of users and transactions simultaneously, providing efficiency and faster settlement times compared to traditional financial systems that may suffer from bottlenecks and delays.
Lower Costs: Traditional financial institutions often impose high fees for various services, including remittances, loans, and cross-border transactions. Cardano's decentralized infrastructure and smart contract capabilities can significantly reduce costs associated with these services. For example, decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms built on Cardano can provide lending, borrowing, and other financial services at a fraction of the cost compared to traditional intermediaries.
Inclusion and Accessibility: One of the key advantages of Cardano is its potential to provide financial services to underserved populations. By leveraging its interoperability features, Cardano can facilitate cross-border transactions and enable access to financial services for individuals who are unbanked or underbanked. This inclusivity can help bridge the gap between different economic strata, empowering individuals and communities that have been historically marginalized by traditional financial institutions.
Innovation and Smart Contracts: Cardano's platform enables the development and execution of smart contracts, which are self-executing contracts with predefined conditions that automatically execute when the conditions are met. Smart contracts offer a programmable and auditable framework for various financial applications, including decentralized exchanges, lending platforms, and insurance services. The ability to create innovative financial products and services on Cardano opens up new opportunities for entrepreneurs and developers to disrupt the traditional financial landscape.
While the adoption of Cardano and its technology in the mainstream financial industry is still in its early stages, the platform's focus on scalability, security, and interoperability positions it as a potential competitor to traditional financial service providers and institutions. As Cardano continues to evolve and attract more users and developers, its impact on traditional finance could become more significant in the future.

Aave's ($AAVE) Growth Closely Tied to Bitcoin Rally
The upward trend for AAVE continues, albeit with a slowdown in growth over the past week. A key challenge for buyers lies in the resistance zone between $103 and $110, which has been tested five times within a month but remains unbroken.
For AAVE, the goal is to sustain its growth and set new annual highs. Should it break through the current resistance zone, the next significant levels that could potentially impede its ascent are situated at $115 and $120. The momentum of this growth will largely depend on the buying activities in BTC.
If a market correction occurs, the AAVE price could see a considerable decline. The initial target during such a correction would be the buying zone at $83-$88. Further down lies a resistance level at $77.8 and a range between $70.2 and $74.5. These levels are expected to be tested if there's a significant correction in BTC, possibly down to around $32,000.
DEFI: UniSwap - ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW 🦄Hi Traders, Investors and Speculators of the Charts 📈📉

For example, where I reside, the most common interest on a savings account is 5% annually, whereas the interest on your credit card is 19.5% annually. And this is, in short, the common argument for Decentralized Finance.
Before we continue, familiarize yourself with these key terms:
TVL – Total Dollar Value Locked in the platform
DEX - A decentralized exchange. DEXs don't allow for exchanges between fiat and crypto — instead, they exclusively trade cryptocurrency tokens for other cryptocurrency tokens.
Blockchain – A unique way of coding that is open for anyone to use, many believe that web3 will be built on top this kind of coding

Smart Contracts — E lectronic, digital contracts coded to integrate with dApps. Automated financial agreements between two or more parties once the pre-determined terms of the contract is reached
Uniswap is a decentralized cryptocurrency exchange that uses a set of smart contracts (liquidity pools) to execute trades on its exchange. It's an open source project and falls into the category of a DeFi product (Decentralized finance) because it uses smart contracts to facilitate trades. Built on Ethereum, Uniswap is the first and largest DEX in DeFi and one of the many places where you can participate in yield farming. To earn interest in their cryptocurrency holdings, investors contribute their funds to a Uniswap smart contract; these investors are known as liquidity providers. The smart contracts that hold their cryptocurrencies are known as liquidity pools. Liquidity providers are required for Uniswap to function since they provide liquidity for trading on the platform.
With the rise of Blockchain, Crypto and then Decentralized apps, yield farming was born to address some of the banking system's limits. Or at least, that would be in the perfect world.
Yield farming is the process of using DeFi to maximize returns . Users lend or borrow crypto on a DeFi platform and earn cryptocurrency in return for their services.

Yield farming allows investors to earn interest which is called ‘yield’ by putting coins or tokens in a dApp, which is an application (coded software) that integrates with blockchain code. Examples of dApps include crypto wallets, exchanges and many more. Yield farmers generally use decentralized exchanges (DEXs) to lend, borrow or stake coins to earn interest and speculate on price swings. Yield farming across DeFi is facilitated by smart contracts.
Let’s take a closer look at the different types of yield farming on UniSwap:
Liquidity provider: You deposit two coins to a DEX to provide trading liquidity. Exchanges charge a small fee to swap the two tokens which is paid to liquidity providers. This fee can sometimes be paid in new liquidity pool (LP) tokens.

Yield farmers who want to increase their yield output can also use more complex tactics. For example, yield farmers can constantly shift their cryptos between multiple loan platforms to optimize their gains.
Back to DeFi - In centralized finance, your money is held by banks and corporations whose main goal is to make money. The financial system is full of third parties who facilitate money movement between parties, with each one charging fees for using their services. The idea behind DeFi was to create a system that cuts out these third parties, their fees and the time spent on all the interaction between them.
Defi is a technology built on top of blockchain - it can be an app or a website for example, which means that is was written in code language by software programmers. It lets users buy and sell virtual assets (like crypto and NFT's) and use financial services as a form of investment or financing without middlemen/banks. This means you can borrow , lend and invest - but without a centralized banking institution. In summary, DeFi is a subcategory within the broader crypto space. DeFi offers many of the services of the mainstream financial world but controlled by the masses instead of a central entity. And instead of your information being filed on paper and stored by a banker, your information is captured digitally and stored in a block with your permission. Many of the initial DeFi applications were built on Ethereum (which is a blockchain technology, but the code is different to Bitcoin's, in other words it operates/works differently). The majority of money in DeFi remains concentrated there.
Lending may have started it all, but DeFi applications now have many use cases, giving participants access to saving, investing, trading, market-making and more. Another example of such a market is PancakeSwap (CAKEUSDT). PancakeSwap is also a decentralized exchange native to BNB Chain (Binance chain). In other words, it shares some similarities with UniSwap in that users can swap their coins for other coins. The only difference is that PancakeSwap focuses on BEP20 tokens – a specific token standard developed by Binance. The BEP20 standard is essentially a checklist of functions new tokens must be able to perform in order to be compatible with the broader Binance ecosystem of dapps, wallets and other services.
💭 Final Thoughts 💭
Is yield farming profitable? Short answer - Yes. However, it depends on how much money and effort you’re willing to put into yield farming. Although certain high-risk strategies promise substantial returns, they generally require a thorough grasp of DeFi platforms, protocols and complicated investment chains to be most effective. Is yield farming risky? Short Answer - Absolutely . There are a number of risks that investors should understand before starting. Scams, hacks and losses due to volatility are not uncommon in the DeFi yield farming space. The first step for anyone wishing to use DeFi is to research the most trusted and tested platforms.

🌟📈 SNX Token's Potential Upswing 🚀🔍💥 SNX Breaks Out of Accumulation Box: The Synthetix (SNX) token, in its weekly timeframe, has recently exited its accumulation box, observed in the past two weekly candles. However, the primary uptrend hasn't kicked off yet due to the overall market conditions and resistance from Bitcoin and Total 2.
📊 Range Boundaries Broken: Previously, SNX was trading within a range of $1.850 to $3.206. It has now breached this range, indicating potential for further movement.
📈 Bullish Outlook with Targets: If the market trends upward, SNX could be a lucrative coin in the next bullish wave. The initial target is set at $4.264, but I personally aim for a $7.5 target in my trades.
🔝 Volume Confirmation: The increase in volume during its upward movement confirms the positive trend.
🚦 Caution Advised: Don't rush to buy until clear signs of market movement reappear. A deep correction in Bitcoin could push SNX back into the range box.
🕒 Timeframe for Entry: Utilize 1-day and 4-hour timeframes for better entry points.
⚠️ Stop Loss Tip: Avoid setting a tight stop loss to prevent getting stopped out by minor fluctuations.

What Is Synthetix (SNX)?
Synthetix is building a decentralized liquidity provisioning protocol that any protocol can tap into for various purposes. Its deep liquidity and low fees serve as a backend for many exciting protocols on both Optimism and Ethereum. Many user-facing protocols in the Synthetix ecosystem, such as Kwenta (Spot and Futures), Lyra (Options), Polynomial (Automated Options), and 1inch & Curve (Atomic Swaps), tap into Synthetix liquidity to power their protocols. Synthetix is built on Optimism and Ethereum mainnet. The Synthetix Network is collateralized by SNX, ETH, and LUSD, enabling the issuance of synthetic assets (Synths). Synths track and provide returns on the underlying asset without requiring one to directly hold the asset. This pooled collateral enables an array of on-chain, composable financial instruments backed by liquidity from Synthetix. Some of the most exciting upcoming releases from SNX are Perps V2, which hopes to enable low-fee on-chain futures trading through the usage of off-chain oracles, and Synthetix V3, which aims to rebuild the protocol to achieve its earliest goal, being a fully permissionless derivatives protocol.
The platform aims to broaden the cryptocurrency space by introducing non-blockchain assets, providing access to a more robust financial market.
