Potential Path of the Altcoin Market?Trading Family,
To say that our altcoin market has been disappointing would be the understatement of the year. While there definitely have been some winners (I have held Solana through the $8 low), the majority have been a large disappointment. In fact, the last I read, only 42 altcoins have outperformed Bitcoin since the bear market bottom was put in. This is an incredible stat to think about and very telling. Altcoin traders have a difficult task in beating the BTC hodl'ers for sure.
However, recently there have been some hidden indications that our altcoin market will soon increase our odds of success.
First of all, Bitcoin's low fees. Low fees on the Bitcoin blockchain is often a hidden health indicator for the coin signaling weak demand. People often see low fees as a positive thing. But what's actually happening here is that there is low demand for transacting on the chain, therefore, in order to increase the demand, transaction fees are forced down.
Weaker demand does seem to correlate with what the BTC dominance chart is showing us.
You can see from the chart that we have a large sell side liquidity block that has formed, indicating large sell side volume in dominance. Additionally, my indicator has flashed a red dot, signaling that it is time for dominance to drop. We also have our RSI and Macd, crossing down. And if we break from that channel, dominance drop momentum should accelerate.
This brings me to our TOTAL3 chart which is all altcoins excluding Ethereum. The chart is showing us that we have reached an extremely critical support trendline. Price is currently bouncing from it. Additionally, there are large volumes of buyers at this point. You can observe this by the VRVP candles and the liquidity blocks indicator. But contrary to BTC.D in which the RSI and Macd were crossing down, TOTAL3 shows our RSI and Macd crossing up! This is bullish for alts.
Finally, it is a great sign to see that our "M" pattern has looked to have completed right at our point of support.
I have drawn a projected pathway from here. In the first part of our next week, we may see a bit more pump. News of the passing continuing resolution here in the U.S. is still trickling out. Monday, as stock traders jump back in, I would imagine we see more pump as traders feel good about the averted gov't shutdown. This may trickle into Tuesday. But then Wed. is the Fed's day. We are expecting further pause to interest rate. Everyone will be listening to the Fed speak and parsing every syllable that is uttered from J. Pow's tongue. What is says and the bias that is interpreted will be key. I am expecting mostly a non-event here. Which means that bullish bias may wane once again. Crypto, mostly altcoins, really only pump on good news. But negative and even neutral news is a sell to sideways event. Thus, I expect we may hit another local top around Wed. afternoon at which point the altcoin market starts to sell a bit again OR it simply continues sideways again for a few more weeks. Sooner or later though, I believe we are headed towards that 1.3 trillion resistance. It is worthwhile considering to stay in a holding pattern unless we drop below our all-important support. Watch this line closely and draw it on your charts. It will be key!

Why is the market crashing?Why Did Bitcoin Crash to $78K? Here’s What’s Driving the Panic
Bitcoin soared to an all-time high of $109K in January 2025, but last night, it crashed to $78K, a brutal 26% drop, leaving it hovering around $80K. The market’s in full panic mode, and after digging into the latest news, here’s why: Trump tariffs, the Bybit hack, and a mix of other pressures are to blame.
1. Trump Tariffs: Trade War Chaos
The Trump administration’s new tariffs, 25% on Mexico and Canada, 10% on China, are shaking up global trade. Here’s the impact on Bitcoin:
Uncertainty Surge: Higher costs and trade disruptions spook investors.
Risk-Off Mood: People ditch volatile assets like Bitcoin for safer bets like bonds.
Sell-Off Trigger: The fear of an economic slowdown is hitting crypto hard.
These tariffs are a major reason for the market’s jitters.
2. Bybit Hack: $1.5B Gone
A massive hack hit Bybit’s Trust Wallet, with $1.5 billion in Ethereum stolen, the biggest crypto heist ever. Here’s why it’s tanking Bitcoin:
Trust Shattered: Security breaches like this make everyone nervous about crypto safety.
Panic Selling: Fear of more hacks or losses sparks a rush to sell.
This event is amplifying the crash big time.
3. Other Crash Fuel
Beyond tariffs and the hack, these factors are piling on:
Macro Fears: Uncertainty over Federal Reserve rate hikes is pushing investors away from risk.
Profit-Taking: After hitting $109K, big players cashed out, adding pressure.
Post-Halving Dip: Bitcoin often corrects after halvings (like 2024’s), and we might be feeling that now.
What’s Next for Bitcoin?
This crash sucks, no doubt, tariffs and a billion-dollar hack are a nasty combo. But Bitcoin’s bounced back from worse. The panic might ease once the news settles, though recovery could take a minute. Keep an eye on trade updates and crypto security news, they’ll drive what’s next.

xauusd analysis for coming weekKey Factors Influencing XAU/USD
Monetary Policy & Interest Rates:
By early 2025, the Federal Reserve’s stance will be critical. If rate cuts are underway (due to recession risks or controlled inflation), gold could rally as the USD weakens. Conversely, a "higher-for-longer" rate policy could cap gains.
Watch for Fed speeches and the PCE inflation report (due late February 2025) for clues.
Geopolitical Risks:
Escalations in conflicts, trade tensions, or unexpected crises (e.g., energy disruptions, elections) could trigger safe-haven demand for gold.
USD Strength:
A strong dollar (e.g., from robust U.S. economic data) may pressure gold. Monitor the DXY Index for inverse correlations.
Scenario-Based Outlook
Bullish Case:
Fed dovishness + weak USD + geopolitical instability → Rally toward $2,100–2,150/oz.
Bearish Case:
Hawkish Fed + strong U.S. data + risk-on sentiment → Decline toward $1,900–1,850/oz.
Trading Strategy
Long-term investors: Accumulate near $1,920–1,950/oz if fundamentals align with bullish drivers.
Critical Events to Monitor
Fed Chair Powell’s testimony (if scheduled).
U.S. Q4 GDP revisions (February 27, 2025).
Global PMI data (manufacturing/services activity).
Geopolitical developments (e.g., U.S.-China relations, Middle East tensions).
Conclusion
Gold’s trajectory will hinge on the interplay between Fed policy, the dollar, and risk sentiment. While technicals suggest a range-bound market between $1,900–2,080/oz, prepare for volatility around key data releases. Always use risk management tools (stop-loss, position sizing) given the uncertainty of long-term forecasts.
